Although Dove Cameron has had a very successful musical career thus far, the 26-year-old recently opened up, admitting she feels she has not shared the same level as other “Disney girls,” such as Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, or Zendaya.

When speaking to the Los Angeles Times she said, “I don’t really look to anybody else for a roadmap. I mean, this whole narrative that I was on Disney and then found my way out with a pop song, it was a total f***ing accident.”

Cameron has been tapped for the “Powerpuff Girls” live-action reboot series, however, it has been put on hold for now. In the meantime, the 26-year-old is currently focusing on her music career.

The 26-year-old recently took home the award for Best New Artist of 2022 at the MTV VMA Awards. When accepting her award, the singer touched so many views with her moving and emotional speech as she dedicated the honor to her LGBTQ+ supporters and thanked them for their support of her “overtly queer” music.

“Thank you so much! I’m so floored. I’m so moved," she began when she walked up on stage to accept her award. "This is so wild to be up here with so many artists that I worship, these are some of my all time favorite artists up here."

“This year has been so wild and I have no explanation for it, except that I have you guys to thank. I know that,” she continued. “I want to dedicate this to all of the queer kids out there who don’t feel that they can take up space and inhabit the fullness of who they are.”

“Thank you for giving an overtly queer song onto mainstream radio. Thank you for supporting me as the person and the artist that I am. I hope that in that way, you’ve also given that same privilege to yourself. I love you so much,” she concluded.
