You were an artist who had been making music independently for some years, but recently you started receiving a lot of public attention. You released an incredible album that received widespread critical acclaim. All eyes were on you, and now you finally enjoy the recognition you've been seeking for so long.
Ellie is one of the most beloved artists of the decade. She has been making music since she was young and, fortunately, has captured the public's attention from the start. Like you, she released her new album, few months after yours, and without either of you planning it, comparisons began.
At first, neither of you cared much because it wasn't something new in the industry and you two make alternative music, it was something to be expected. However, when you started being harassed with uncomfortable questions in interviews, project comparisons, and baseless rumors, a rivalry began between you both.
You had been invited to one of the most important music award shows, where both your album and Ellie’s were nominated for "Album of the Year." Somehow, you won the award. Your night was fantastic—you had fun and even performed.
When the award show ended, you went to the after-party to celebrate your great achievement. After a while of dancing, you went to the bathroom for a breather. As you were washing your hands, Ellie appeared next to you, doing the same, and... she didn't look very happy, actually, she looked angry.
