Sara Evans is setting the record straight about her weight loss. The country star says she’s happy with where she is and isn’t interested in losing any more weight, despite the conversations surrounding her appearance on social media.
In a new interview with PEOPLE, the “Suds in the Bucket” singer opened up about the comments surrounding her appearance, revealing that some people have taken issue with her recent weight loss. However, Evans says she’s happy with where she is and feels confident in her current look.
“People get almost angry if they see that you’ve lost weight or something,” she told the outlet. “And I’m just like, ‘Well actually, I needed to lose some weight after menopause.’ And now I’m done. I’m not going to lose anymore.”
Evans revealed to PEOPLE that her fitness routine includes weight lifting and tennis. She said she hopes staying active will help her keep up with her grandson who is all over the place these days.
”It helps a lot,” she said. “I feel younger and more vibrant and full of energy than ever. But it really is true — having to lift John Evans. He’s so heavy and he’s so ‘boy.’ He’s all boy. He’s so funny, oh my gosh.”
With a busy holiday season ahead, Evans will also have plenty of opportunities to put that energy to use on the road.
She’s gearing up to hit the road for her Holiday Road Tour, which features a mix of her biggest hits and favorite holiday songs, giving fans a chance to enjoy her signature vocals and festive spirit throughout the season.
“There’s always something so magical and special about Christmastime and the holidays every year! I love getting to hit the road with my band and bring our versions of your favorite holiday songs to your hometown. The Holiday Road Tour is really about celebrating all of those things that make this time of year so special: family, tradition, memories, music, and just being together,” Evans previously shared. “I hope people can come spend the evening with us, sing along, have a few laughs, and leave feeling a little more in the Christmas spirit. I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone!”
