The singer and entrepreneur, 33, shared that just hours after exchanging vows on September 27, 2025, in Santa Barbara, she was overcome by a fear that the happiness might vanish. “I got married and then I was sobbing, ’cause I was like, ‘I’m gonna die the next day,’” she said while discussing how major highs can trigger a reflexive dread that something will go wrong.
