Christina Aguilera's heart is exploding with love!
The singer, whose remarkable vocal abilities have earned her titles like the "Princess of Pop," recently penned an emotional letter to her adoring fans. Aguilera may have influenced the music industry with her powerful four-octave vocal range. But the 41-year-old continues to amass a steady flow of supporters with her humble personality.
Christine Aguilera Pays Tribute To Fans As The Creditors Of Her Success
On Thursday, August 25, the self-named "Xtina" shared a heartwarming post about her 29-year career on Instagram. This post included fans' contributions to the blonde's ever-growing trophy case. In honor of the famous Throwback Thursday trend, the "What a Girl Wants" singer shared a video montage of her younger self. The clip showcased the Pop icon in different scenes, from performing on stage to her music videos.
The footage followed a growth pattern that captured the "Burlesque" star from her up-and-coming days to recent concert gigs in front of thousands of screaming fans. As the New Yorker's past flashed before the screen, the Hollywood Walk of Fame inductee's voice could be heard above the background music.
The 41-year-old confessed that she "always" wanted to pursue a career in music, noting that when the opportunity arrived, she did not miss it. Aguilera explained that she felt like a genuine artist after shooting her first music video. Instead of feeling nervous about her newfound fame, the then-aspiring entertainer declared she would always give her best and work hard.
This video reflected the "Ain't No Other Man" singer's passion for music alongside her determination to succeed. However, the pop culture icon was not the star of her throwback post. The Grammy Award winner gave fans that honor by penning a sweet note to her followers. In her letter, Xtina thanked her admirers for their unwavering support through the ups and downs of her career.

"Grateful, the 41-year-old began. "Reflecting on all of the milestones, the music, and the memories I’ve made with you since the release of my debut album." The Disney Legend honoree continued, "It’s been quite the ride, and I appreciate all of the love and support you have given me every step of the way, fighters!"
Naturally, the "I Turn to You" singer's touching tribute melted the hearts of thousands, who happily flooded the comment section with the New Yorker's praises. Most of these heartfelt statements came from male admirers who adored the blonde for her beauty, talents, and warm personality.
One male devotee described the songstress as "legendtina," revealing he had followed Aguilera's amazing growth from her 1999 hit song, "Genie in a bottle." A second male follower declared he would forever remain in the idol's corner, while celebrity makeup artist, Michael Anthony, wrote a short rhyme for the entertainer that read:
"You got soul, you got class, you got style with you're a bad ass !! You're a gift to us ALL, mama."
A fourth fan expressed his desire for the MX Productions founder to return to her origin. This individual claimed that people missed the "Candyman" singer's "baby Jane" phase and jazz sound. The surge of love for the "Voice of a Generation" title-holder did not stop there, as a few social media users noted they have been following the singer since the 90s.
During this era, the World Food Program (WFP) spokesperson released her eponymous debut album, "Christina Aguilera." This project gave the 41-year-old worldwide recognition as the album contained chart-topping tracks. Although the 41-year-old credited fans as the reason behind her viral image, more commenters reassured the music legend that she achieved these milestones with her undisputed talents.

As previously reported by The Blast, Aguilera has been engaged to her fiancé Matthew Rutler for about eight years. According to a source, the TV personality and the guitarist believed they did not need a document to prove their affection for each other.
With that train of thought, Aguilera and her fiancé enjoyed their blossoming relationship without worrying about planning a lavish wedding ceremony. The lovebirds focused on raising their blended family, including their daughter, Summer Rain Rutler, and the songstress' son, Max Liron Bratman, from her previous marriage to Jordan Bratman.
