Tori Kelly on Motherhood, Faith, Meena, and New Album ‘God Must Really Love Me’

Tori Kelly first joined us back in 2013, long before Grammy Awards, sold-out tours, and billions of streams. Over the years we've had a front-row seat to her evolution from YouTube breakout, ‘American Idol’ contestant and singer-songwriter to one of the most respected vocalists of her generation. Along the way she's earned praise from artists like Billie Eilish, voiced Meena the singing elephant in the blockbuster 'Sing' franchise, and watched both that character and her rendition of “Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing” find new life with younger audiences online years after the film's release.Now the 33-year-old returns as a new mother — in 2025 she had her son Zayden with her bball player hubby André Murillo — and both motherhood and faith deeply inspired her new, sixth album, 'God Must Really Love Me'. She opens up about raising her son Zayden (who is all over this album both in the lyrics and vocally!), how becoming a parent has transformed her relationship with faith, the highs and lows of a marriage that's now more than a decade strong, and why this album feels like a time capsule of a pivotal season in her life. Tori also shares the stories behind songs like “Tokyo” and “Mine,” (amongst many others) discusses finding peace in a culture obsessed with comparison, reflects on the viral resurgence of her music, talks about voicing a singer named Suzy Day in the video game 'Stranger Than Heaven,' plus so much more.Stream "God Must Really Love Me" ►►https://tinyurl.com/evbabtbyWith Apple Creator Studio, it’s all yours for the making.
