She said: “So I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, right?
“This morning I woke up and I was like, ‘There’s a lot of things going on in the world’ and stuff, but basically I looked and I was like, you know what, the press and the media my whole life… , it’s really crazy, one minute they tear you down and they’re really horrible, and the next minute you’re on top of the world, you know?”
She added: “I’m a Southern girl, I’m from Louisiana.
“I’m from the South, and I like to keep it real, so I just want to make sure I keep having you motherf*****rs something to talk about.”
Earlier this year, the star, 35, also talked to an Israeli reporter about how much of her show is sung live.
She said: “It’s really funny, a lot of people think I don’t sing live.

She added: “Because I’m dancing so much, I do have a little bit of playback, but there’s a mixture of my voice and the playback.
“It really p****s me off because I’m busting my ass out there and singing at the same time and nobody ever gives me credit for it, you know?”
