She famously declared, “He hit me once, so I hit him twice.” And then, she took that terrifying, raw chaos and poured it straight into her guitar. She took the darkest, most bruised corners of her own living room and weaponized them. Her private pain became loud anthems of defiance, giving a fearless voice to a generation of women who had been told to simply suffer in silence. We will always remember the glittering gowns and the unstoppable stardom she left behind. But we should never forget the heavy price she paid in private, and the fierce courage it took to turn her own survival into an absolute shield for us all.
