Aging is a natural part of life. As most people age, they start to look different than they used to before. While most people take the changes in stride, others are not as pleased.

Celebrities, much like anyone else, also experience aging. And it is usually female celebrities who are scrutinized for each and every change their appearance undergoes whether naturally or artificially.

Canadian artist Nelly Furtado first popped onto the scene right around 2000. She was once considered one of the most successful Canadian artists by the media. Her 2000 album ‘Whoa, Nelly!’ was a massive success.

The album received success both critically and commercially. Her songs “I’m Like a Bird” and “Turn Off the Light” from the album both made it to the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In fact, the success of the former song even earned her a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

While everything seemed amazing at the time, it later emerged that things were not as they seemed on the surface. In a recent interview, the songwriter opened up about how she struggled in her initial days of fame.

She talked about the extensive airbrushing she was subjected to. “I have olive skin, and they’d kind of lighten my skin a lot in photos, and kind of take my hips down all the time — they would always cut off in editorials,” she said.
