I understand what she's saying. These days, artist have to be a brand in order to live their lifestyle. However, she messed up because being known as an artist should ALWAYS come first. She should've let her album drop in the US, whether it flopped or not. At least she would have something. Ariana Grande waited 2 years and put out two albums before she decided to return to t.v. She's said that she loves acting too but she made sure people know Ariana the Singer over Ariana the Actress. Now that she's established herself as a singer, she's building a brand. Aside from Black Widow, Rita is known as a UK celebrity in the US. If she's not dropping music of her own she should at least get on some more features.
