Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao (born March 3, 1997) is a Cuban-American singer, songwriter, and actress.
She rose to prominence as a member of the girl group Fifth Harmony, formed on The X Factor (U.S.) in 2012, signing a joint record deal with Syco Music and Epic Records.
While a part of Fifth Harmony, Cabello began to establish herself as a solo artist with the release of the collaborations "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with Shawn Mendes, and "Bad Things" with Machine Gun Kelly, the latter reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100.
Camila Cabello was in ‘worst mental state ever’ before making new album
nypost.comPeople on Thursday that she sought treatment for her debilitating anxiety back in 2019, saying: “I was cripplingly anxious and was in the worst mental health state ever.”The star underwent therapy, claiming the decision to do so felt like a last resort. “For me, it was, if this process doesn’t help me in feeling better, and if it’s not me being honest and vulnerable and unfiltered, I don’t really see how this is going to happen,” she candidly stated. “That was my intention, just to be myself, whatever that looked like at the time.”Cabello subsequently poured her heart into her third studio album, “Familia,” which is set for release on Friday. “I just word-vomited into a mic in the form of a melody,” she stated. “It really doesn’t get more personal than that.
I was all stream of consciousness.”The former Fifth Harmony songstress is set to perform some of her new tracks on “Saturday Night Live” this coming weekend and said she now feels like she is in an “amazing” headspace.
The self-confident assertion comes despite her highly-publicized split from long-term boyfriend, Shawn Mendes, last November.
While Mendes has publicly confessed to struggling in the wake of the split, saying he “hates” the feeling of being alone, Cabello told People she is thriving. “There’s a sense of trust in myself that I feel like I didn’t have before because I was so anxious all the time,” she declared. “I really feel like I’m living my truth and I’m speaking my truth.”Thursday’s interview with People isn’t the first time the starlet has opened up about her battle with anxiety.
