Speaking in a clip from an upcoming episode on iHeart Radio’s Las Culturistas Podcast, the legendary singer, 55, explained her dislike for lighting that’s often found in public spaces.

“I’m the one who’s the most tortured by the hideous lighting in elevators, doorway, gyms — not that I go to the gym, I’m just saying,” she added.
“It’s hideous lighting,” she continued. “The sun is okay if it’s sunset, I’ll gladly go outside and put a little hat on or whatever and that’ll be pretty because the sunlight caresses your skin.”
