We went behind the scenes of Madison Beer’s ELLE Women in Music photo shoot. Following the release of her 2023 memoir, The Half of It, and in her sophomore album, Silence Between Songs, released the same year, the 26-year-old pop singer and social media star detailed how her mental health plummeted, that she contemplated suicide, and how she ultimately recovered. “There were things I wanted to say that were important to me,” she reflects. “I feel like I really did achieve that.” She embarked on a 63-stop world tour, selling out venues including Radio City Music Hall. And she’s just getting started. Here, Beer invites us along for the day.
