Like Emily, Cheryl understands the transformative power of music. Her listening tastes change with her mood, and what she’s craving that day depends on whether or not it was a good day for her—and in 2020, female rappers set the soundtrack to her good days. Her top artists last year were Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, because, besides their empowering, inspirational music, she likes “the way they carry themselves, and always speak positively.” These talented artists have definitely made lemonade out of 2020’s lemons, and their powerful words and confident demeanor have helped Cheryl (and millions of others) embrace their inner greatness. 👑
While Cheryl is listening to energizing rap, sometimes, her alter ego is seeking out calm, soothing sounds after a bad day. “I listen to that when I have bad days or when I’m aggravated,” she tells us, and it usually helps her center her mind and turns her day around. Once again, music proves that it has the power to change even the worst days into something manageable.
As someone who loves music so much, you’d think that Cheryl is a regular at live shows. However, she confessed to us that she’s never been to a concert. We couldn’t believe it either, but don’t worry—she’s planning on changing that fact very soon. Her dream concert is Moneybagg Yo and even told us that she had tickets to an upcoming show before canceling it due to fears around big crowds. While she’s disappointed about missing that experience, she still has a plan to see some of her favorite artists in the coming year, and we’re so excited for her to witness the magic of live music. 🎤
