Nelly Furtado became a topic of conversation again because of her physical transformation, especially after reappearing with a curvier figure than during her years of greatest exposure in the 2000s.
The singer has responded to the criticism by defending body acceptance and clarifying that she has not had cosmetic surgery or fillers, except for dental veneers.
She has also spoken about living through a stage of greater confidence and not letting comments about her body define her public image.
