Overview

  • She said at the Bare It All Event that embracing a raunchy image in "Dirrty" enabled her to own her body and defy industry expectations.
  • She recounted how criticism over her "Dirrty" music video outfit only heightened her resolve, describing the chaps as iconic and still preserved in her archive.
  • Aguilera linked her early struggles for creative control to her decision to rebel against label-driven branding on her Stripped album.
  • The backlash inspired her to question societal attitudes toward women’s bodies, a pursuit she has continued through her work with Playground since co-founding it in 2022.
  • Now a mother of two, she emphasized educating her daughter about bodily autonomy and fostering open conversations on female empowerment.
