My last tour was eight months long, which some people are like, &#8216;That&#8217;s normal.&#8217; I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Not to me.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I would love to be someone that people could look to [say], &#8216;Wow, she does a really good job of maintaining a healthy balance between both.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMadison actually considers having a &#8220;healthy work\/life balance&#8221; to be &#8220;the true epitome of success&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I have a community that&#8217;s not just going to up and abandon me.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I know how precious time is, and I feel like I give so much of my life to my career. \u2026 I&#8217;m good with where I&#8217;m at. I&#8217;m proud of all my achievements thus far, and if I can maintain a healthy work\/life balance, that, to me, is the true epitome of success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Madison previously insisted that she&#8217;s comfortable with her relative lack of chart success.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe singer told the Observer newspaper: &#8220;It was definitely hard for years to detach from that ideology, but I feel so much better off now that that\u2019s not something I drive myself crazy over.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I don\u2019t want to diss myself here, but I haven\u2019t had No 1s, I haven\u2019t had gigantic songs \u2013 actually, that\u2019s not true, I think I have had gigantic songs, but [not] to people\u2019s criteria. I\u2019m like: if I can still sell out a tour and perform for crowds and enjoy it, then clearly I\u2019m OK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/madison-beer-going-played-like-pawn-1437654.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 February 2026 Madison Beer refuses to be &#8220;played like a pawn&#8221; by music executives.
