Trending
When Camila Cabello was younger, she couldn’t dance. According to a Toronto.com article dated November 6, 2017, the former Fifth Harmony star acknowledged that she was never really a dancer growing up but claimed that her music career had "pulled it out" of her.
She has been showcasing her amazing dance moves in her music videos, such as Don't Go Yet, Havana, and Bam Bam.
In the same article, it was mentioned that she was shy as a child and never danced. She even admitted that when people started dancing at holiday events, she would cry. However, she credits music for helping her come out of her shell and discover her passion for performing.
2) Mental health advocacy
Camila’s commitment to mental health is another aspect of her multifaceted personality.
The Hollywood Reporter reported on January 19, 2021, that Camila launched the Healing Justice Project, which would focus on providing frontline activists with mental health treatment, in collaboration with Movement Voter Fund, a nonprofit charity that links donations to grassroots organizations.
Camila Cabello's conversations with surgeon Nadine Burke Harris regarding "toxic stress" and with activists Ana Perez and Jerry Tello regarding racial reconciliation catalyzed her Healing Justice Project.
3) Her obsession with the Disney Channel
In a March 2, 2022, iHeartRadio article, it was mentioned that Camila has always been a Disney Channel lover and that Cinderella by The Cheetah Girls was the first song she learned the lyrics to.
A February 21, 2020 Billboard article quoted her saying: 'Anyone who knows me knows that my ultimate dream is to create an inspirational playlist of Disney songs to get ready for work—how incredible would that be?'
When her family eventually got cable, Camila Cabello was overjoyed since it meant she could watch Disney Channel series and original films like Hannah Montana, High School Musical, and The Cheetah Girls.
These shows played a huge source of motivation for her profession. Camila also joked that she frequently performed in the bathroom and was constantly in her own Disney Channel film.
4) Her most quirky possession
Another interesting fact about Camila Cabello is that a framed tweet from Ed Sheeran is the strangest item she owns. While she was in her previous band, she decided to cover his song Lego House.
After their performance, Ed Sheeran tweeted, "Incredible," and one of her followers framed the post for her. This was mentioned in an October 23, 2017, BuzzFeed rapid-fire interview with Camila. She keeps it in her room as a special memento of that special occasion.
The two singers later collaborated on the hit song Bam Bam released in 2022.
5) Camila takes inspiration from Queen B

And quoted: "But Beyoncé told me she loved my album, alright? That’s the ultimate gold star."
