She then went on to share how thankful she is for having “amazing doctors.” Now, the singer is getting a good grasp on how to manage her health.
“I feel amazing now,” she said. “And so you know, they’re still monitoring me and everything like that, but I feel great.”

According to the singer, she hesitated on releasing her music on the expected date. Eventually, it was decided that her EP would still go out on the expected date.
“I kind of had the option like, ‘Okay, do I want to push it back even more?’ And I decided you know what? I’m still gonna put out this music even though I can’t promote it the way that I usually would,” she said.
For those who may not know, Kelly released her EP, “Tori,” on July 28. As described by the singer, this music collection “represents the happy place I’ve been in the last few years.”
“I was like, I really want to still give my fans the opportunity to just listen to music because this music is so happy and fun. I wanted them to just be able to have that,” she said.
The singer-songwriter then stated that when she’s already feeling better, she expects to perform her songs live and enjoy it with her fans. Believing that everything happens for a reason, Kelly has no regrets that she put out the music as scheduled.
