During the interview, Aguilera candidly shared her feelings about singing at the top of the Eiffel Tower, admitting that it was both magical and terrifying for her. Being scared of heights, Aguilera confessed, “I am terrified of heights. I don’t even do Ferris wheels because I’m so afraid of heights.” She described the nerve-wracking experience of being elevated in the air, especially since she avoids elevators as well.
