Kate also said that she “couldn’t speak to a man without being partnered with him. Like, literally, I couldn’t sit and say hello to someone.”

“There was so much of it at such a rate that I couldn’t in any way comprehend, that I just realized I need to figure out how to not care about any of this,” Kate continued. “You just realize that you’re letting them win the more you feel bad. If I’m going to allow this negative energy to get into me then they win. I’ve given them all my power.”

Kate recently opened up about how “daddy issues” slowed her musical ambitions.
