When asked about her experience, Kylie says it has happened to her and is fighting back with her music so other musicians who are older can have their time in the spotlight as well.
“I’m talking about it with you because it’s happened. I’ve not been out there flying that flag. Of course, it’s a great moment for me — but it’s a great moment for other artists, women particularly, who have this kind of prejudice or bias against them,” she told the outlet. “…I didn’t set out to do this. I’ve also been the youngest kid where I had to fight to be heard or just occupy my space.”
Kylie added, “The negative then was, ‘Well, you’re 18. what do you know?’ So, through all the decades of my career, there’s been something, and here we are.”
“I’m really proud to be representing this moment, and guess what? The earth didn’t cave in, and everyone’s having a great time. This is the age I am. What can I do?”
