Tamar Braxton Talks Favorite Holiday Things and Lessons Learned in 2017
Tamar Braxton has been busy touring with the ladies of Xscape and singer Monica on The Great Xscape Tour. While Tay Tay has been going through the roller coaster WE've been watching play out on this season of Tamar & Vince, she has been using the tour to help with her healing process. She chatted with RatedRNB after her Columbia, South Carolina show about her road to happiness, touring, and some holiday favorites.
Tamar says so far, the most memorable moment on the tour has been when they sold out their show in Charlotte, North Carolina earlier this month.
“I think the most memorable moment was when Kandi and Tiny were in my dressing room in North Carolina while the Alabama game was going on. Of course, everyone in the city was gone to that game, but we managed to still sell out. We were like,'Oh my God, can you believe that we are here? We really made it. We really did it.' Tiny and I always said we wanted to do this since we were younger. We just didn’t know it would be like this.”
Earlier this year, Tamar released her album, "Bluebird of Happiness" and has said in multiple interviews that it was about her quest for happiness. She revealed a few things that put a smile on her face.
“What makes me happy is being around good people, laughing, and smiling, not having any drama because I don’t have time for it.” She added, “also, being a good mother to my son Logan. I believe co-parenting with Vince and getting along with him to make sure Logan has a stable family environment is important in making me happy.”
With 2017 wrapping up, Tamar says she has learned some valuable lessons.
“For me, not to put yourself down. Don’t beat up on yourself. I remember when I used to beat up on myself constantly. Instead of looking at the things I did achieve, I looked at the things I didn’t. It took away from the overall pure happiness that I wanted to achieve.” She continued to explain, “it’s almost like I was my own hater.”
Since it’s the holiday season, WE also learned more about some of Tamar’s favorite holiday things!
HER FAVORITE HOLIDAY SONG:
“I would have to say, ‘The Christmas Song.’ It doesn’t get any better than Nat King Cole, my sister’s (Toni Braxton), Mariah’s, and Whitney’s versions."
TAY TAY'S FAVORITE HOLIDAY MOVIE:
“Right now, it’s Calliou’s Holiday Movie. I’ve seen it 150,000 times thanks to Logan!”
HER FAVORITE CHILDHOOD CHRISTMAS GIFT:
"The Nintendo Power Pad! It was when Nintendo first came out and they had these little blocks that you could run on and jump over. It was the bomb!”
