She said, “I went to Les Miserables once, and I fell asleep on that one (laughs). My mom was so mad at me, and it wasn’t really because it was bad. I had never been to a musical. It was three hours three or longer. It wasn’t a good idea for me to go that day. So I will try to give it a go again because she really loved it.”

Nevertheless, attending a musical event may not be a good idea for the 2023 Citi Open champion, but a few months before, she attended Beyonce’s concert in Paris and shared her amazing concert experience.
