What stunned everyone wasn’t just the unexpected career shift, but her bold declaration during the launch event in Los Angeles: “Cứ cầm mic lên hát là ca sĩ rồi — that’s the freedom of art.”
Within minutes, the phrase went viral, sparking heated debates across social media. While some praised Meghan’s confidence, others accused her of disrespecting the music industry and trivializing the struggles of real musicians.
But the real shock came when listeners hit “play.” Her single, described as a mix of soulful ballad and edgy pop, drew polarized reactions. Some fans claimed her raw, emotional voice brought tears to their eyes, while others insisted her vocals were “painfully unpolished” and “off-key.”
One music critic from a major outlet went as far as to write: “If Meghan’s goal was to grab headlines, mission accomplished. If it was to prove she can sing… well, that’s another story.”
Adding fuel to the fire, rumors began swirling that Meghan had secretly recorded the track in a Malibu studio owned by a Grammy-winning producer, who allegedly agreed to collaborate after Meghan promised to donate part of the proceeds to a charity for young female artists. Even more jaw-dropping: insiders claim Meghan is already in talks with Netflix for a documentary following her journey as a new pop star.
Meanwhile, royal insiders in the UK are reportedly “horrified” by the move, with one source claiming: “This is Meghan’s ultimate break from tradition. She isn’t just leaving the royal image behind — she’s rewriting it with a microphone.”
Despite the backlash, Meghan’s debut single climbed the charts within hours, hitting #1 on iTunes in Canada and trending worldwide on Twitter under the hashtag #DuchessPopStar.
Whether Meghan Markle’s foray into music is a genuine passion project or a carefully calculated PR stunt, one thing is certain: her first song has shaken both Hollywood and Buckingham Palace — and the world is waiting to see what she sings next.
