Willow Smith’s fans know that she’s a sensitive soul, and she’s not afraid to let others see her cry. During a 2021 Instagram Live, she got emotional while sharing her pain with her followers and offering them some words of encouragement. “Just make some tender space for the aching hearts, ’cause know my heart is definitely aching,” she said. “So, I love you, and I hope that this little message made some of you feel seen.” She explained that she had awoken with pain in her heart and decided to record a video because it dawned on her that there had to be so many others out there experiencing the same pain.
The singer also sparked concern among her fans in 2023 when she shared an extreme closeup of a tear trickling down her face. She left her Instagram followers mystified as to why she posted the image because she only included a single word in the caption: “pantomime.” One fan’s comment read, “It’s heartbreaking to see anyone like this. Please reach out to someone, anyone if you need to vent.”

But the singer has learned to embrace pain as part of the human experience, so her tears weren’t necessarily a cause for concern. “I can’t stay up in that ethereal, celestial, high-vibration good-vibes place all the time,” she told The Guardian. “Negative emotions can be cathartic. We don’t always have the answers, and that’s OK.”
