Twenty-six-year-old singer, dancer, and actress Chloe Bailey appeared this week on the popular Tamron Hall show, where she spoke about her new album and falling in love with Saint Lucia, among other things.
Hall’s daytime syndicated talk show returned for a fifth season on September 5, averaging over one million viewers daily.
After introducing Chloe Bailey to her audience, the American talk show host said she loved the title of Bailey’s sophomore album “Trouble in Paradise”, recorded in Saint Lucia.
“What is this trouble in paradise, first of all there is no trouble, it seems like there is only paradise?” Hall asked.
“You know we all have troubles in our lives but it’s really our outlook on it. So I went to Saint Lucia, I found my sanctuary, I found my happy place,” Bailey responded as photos of her in Saint Lucia appeared in the background.
“What is it about Saint Lucia?” the host quizzed.
“It is just the way the sun feels on my skin, the way I feel so pure and cleansed in the water, the people there, it just makes life worthwhile and you realise like this is what matters, this is what’s important,” Bailey said smiling.
“When I saw that you were in Saint Lucia, really as a respite I was like good, because to me that was like the new superstar. Back in the day people would like just work themselves until they were exhausted, not that you are not exhausted because I know that you are working hard, but you are so refreshingly modern that you say listen, I need a break for myself…” Hall expressed.
“Thank you,” Bailey replied. “You don’t get rewarded for working yourself to death. So like, why do that to yourself? Do it because you love it and when you feel like your cup is empty go find somewhere to refuel.”
Hall then shared a picture of Chloe Bailey during the parade of the bands at Saint Lucia’s carnival and asked her to explain the “ensemble.”
“There was this incredible designer in Saint Lucia who made it for me, she designed it with my god mom, so they were like sending sketches back and forth and when I put it on I absolutely fell in love. I think it beats my carnival costume from last year,” Bailey stated.
Bailey, who has over 8 million followers on Instagram, also spoke about how more important it was to feel empowered than to just to show it.
In 2023, Chloe Bailey visited Saint Lucia for the first time and fell in love with the island she now calls her second home.
She performed at the 2024 Saint Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival and was part of Legends Carnival band for Lucian Carnival 2024.
