Madison Beer Talks Balancing Reality with Identity on Instagram

Madison Beer sticks her tongue out while leaving Delilah on Thursday night (April 19) in West Hollywood, Calif.

The 19-year-old singer caught a comedy performance by Dave Chappelle.

Madison recently opened up about the balance between reality and identity on social media.

“The battle with social media is that influencers are portrayed as ‘perfect’ because their photos are perfect, but you don’t know how many photos were taken or how many hours of editing they went through. I try to always show that that’s not reality, and that’s such a small fraction of who someone really is,” Madison told Teen Vogue. “I’ve definitely gained a lot of confidence in the past few years but, I’m still human and I doubt myself and I have my moments. I compare myself to people a lot, and that’s something I’ve struggled with. The other day I was putting my hair up and I was like, ‘Oh my god, my ears are so big!’ And my friend was like, ‘Do you even hear yourself?’”
