Lindsay Ell has been through some difficult moments. She went through a public breakup, grappled with heartache and ultimately channeled those emotions into heart theory, her most intimate and revealing work to date.
She’s also learned a lot about self-love and what she’s looking for in a partner, the singer tells People.
“What bad breakups teach us is what we don’t want and what we truly do want,” Lindsay says. “Sometimes, it’s just the right relationships at the wrong time. Or sometimes, we fall in love with the wrong people for us.”
But by this point in her life, she’s learned to be happily single and feel truly comfortable with who she is as an artist and a person. “My insecurities make me who I am, and no one can be a better version of you. And you will find the right person who will like that,” she notes.
In the meantime, Lindsay has also used her hard-earned wisdom to support friends as they navigate their own heartbreak, like Carly Pearce. Carly went through a very public divorce in 2020 after marrying fellow artist Michael Ray just eight months earlier.
Now, Carly’s got a new man in her life, and Lindsay says it feels good to see her friend happy again. “Going through that heartbreak and then coming out of it — that’s just such a cool thing to watch a good friend experience that for themselves,” she adds.
