In the clip, she appeared reflective while listening to "Ain't It Fun," with the caption, "POV: You realize everything you've been using your whole life is toxic. And now you have to relearn how to exist." She followed it with, "Welcome to my non-toxic luxury girl era ?Anndddd now your personality is glass bottles, organic cotton, and filtered water ??♀️ better late then never!!!"
