Madison Beer, now 26, began her career at 13 after Justin Bieber shared a link to her YouTube cover. Despite building a large Gen Z following, she describes her path as a slow burn. Her single "Bittersweet" recently entered the US Hot 100. As she releases her third album, Locket, Beer reflects on the cruelty she experienced early in her career and making music for herself. In 2024, her song “Make You Mine” was nominated for a Grammy.
