“I had never really performed a musical and let alone danced in a movie like this,” she explained.

Initially, I felt quite apprehensive. To be honest, I didn’t recognize myself while performing. It seems as though that person is a stranger to me now.

The Grammy-nominated artist likewise disclosed that she needed to adapt her singing and dancing approach to suit the character she portrayed.

She explained, “I needed to completely break away from my previous performing methods and truly embody Jessi, expressing her despair and agitation through physical actions. This approach was quite distinct from anything I’d done before.
