She later told the Popcast podcast, "I couldn't do this circus anymore — feeling like l have to absorb and explain people's bad behaviors and laugh it off. I just couldn't do that after 2020 particularly. I've changed. A lot of things changed about me that year."
Her husband at the time, Ryan Hurd, publicly supported her decision.
He wrote on Instagram, “She deserves to be celebrated, not just tolerated. I love the response from people who don’t just love these two songs, they needed them. I knew it would strike a chord. Most people would just shut up and keep collecting the paycheck, because the wave of vitriol is real and it’s hard. I’m so sick of watching my wife get the s**t kicked out of her by the internet. I’m sick of every talking head having some kind of stupid opinion about what she says.”
