She's trashed left and right and for what? Writing her own music? Having a large say in most creative decisions? Being a social activist? Deviating from the norms?
Unlike most pop stars, SHE controls her career. SHE controls what she writes. SHE controls what she releases. SHE controls her music videos. SHE controls what she wants to do and if her label tried to take over you know she'd stop.
Not to mention her voice is incredible, she's amazing to her fans, and she's just awesome.
