In a video posted to Twitter, Christina reminisces over a montage of moments from her Stripped era, “My favorite memory was just, I mean, the freedom to finally do what I wanted to do. As an artist, telling my stories, my personal messages for the first time. It was so important to me on my sophomore album that I truly made music that represented who I was,” she says in the video.

“Stripped gave me the strength and freedom as an artist to tell my story the way I wanted. Thank you to all of my fighters around the world for amplifying that strength and giving me the space to continue to share myself in my truest forms. #20YearsofStripped more to come,” Christina tweeted.
