In an April interview with W. Magazine about the end of her career-spanning Celebration Tour, the pop superstar opened up about her artistic family.

“When I go on tour, nothing brings me more happiness than to know we are all working on the same show, creating the magic together,” she said. “Of course, I am their mother so sometimes we get on each other’s nerves. We are a family of artists but we are also a family, and that’s what happens.”
