Four Life Lessons Laufey Has Taught Us
[ad_1]
It’s Laufey’s world, and we’re all just living in it. Seriously, the Icelandic singer-songwriter is all we want to listen to, dance along to, and talk about. Currently on her sold-out The Goddess World Tour, which is about to hit London’s magical The Royal Albert Hall, attending her very first Met Gala, to playing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, there is so much to be proud of. Aside from bewitching us with her music, Laufey is teaching us important life lessons along the way, and we’re here to celebrate them.
“Keep on going with your silly dream”
The song ‘Letter to my 13-year-old self’ hits home with Lauvers because of its relatability and honesty. Particularly, the line, “Keep on going with your silly dream,” is a motto we wish everyone to hear at least once in their life, no matter how grand, small, or silly our dreams may feel. It’s also a message we live our lives by.
Plus, Laufey is a prime example of following your dreams. Notably, Laufeys’ dreams of becoming a singer led to her debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she performed a beautiful rendition of her latest single, ‘Goddess,’ which left us all in awe.
Jazz is truly timeless
Modern music is so progressive that many artists often feel like they need to fit popular or trending genres for recognition. Some even diverge, creating their own genre and pushing boundaries. But for Laufey, her passion lies with jazz. In the wise words of Laufey (well, her TikTok caption), “releasing jazz music in 2024 because why not!” Her success proves that jazz is not a dying genre. Having recently debuted on the Billboard Top 20 and winning her first Grammy, Laufey’s success and reach confirms that jazz will forever be timeless, even to the modern generation.
Embrace your true beauty
If 13-year-olds could see themselves now, what would they say? Laufey acknowledges the struggles of being a young woman in today’s overly influenced society in a way that makes everyone feel seen. In her song ‘Letter to my 13-year-old self’, she sings, “Don’t you worry ’bout your curly hair.” You’re probably wondering why we’ve brought this up … well, Laufey just walked her first Met Gala with her curly hair. We couldn’t be more proud and feel more inspired to embrace our natural beauty.
Behind the glamour, everyone is human, and everyone has the right to feel
It’s easy to look at celebrities and put them on pedestals as our society’s modern gods or goddesses. And Laufey acknowledges this in her song ‘Goddess.’ While singing to a past lover, she ultimately reminds us that we’re all human and we all feel. It’s an important self-reminder when we get caught up in the glitz and glamour. So remember, everyone has the right to feel, including you!
Laufey is a role model to so many, and her story is inspiring. What important life lessons have Laufey taught you? Let us know in the comments, or let’s talk Laufey on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
