The singer had her signature blonde locks in a high braided ponytail. With a straight face and an unmistakable smouldering gaze, Aguilera looked incredible.

On the next slide, she began her inspiring message. The "Burlesque" actress revealed that she was embracing her new age rather than focusing or buying into the stigma around getting older.

She admitted that she had always embraced the concept of ageing. Aguilera added that she has always been an old soul who appreciates the wisdom, knowledge, grace, and beauty that comes with each new year of life.

She acknowledged how challenging the year has been and shared that she was humbled and blessed to have made it here despite all. Aguilera then opened up about her hopes for the future for clarity and new intentions.
