Katarina Zivkovic: I Would Never Use Those Injections
The singer weighs in on talk of New Year's Eve fees of 100,000 to 200,000 euros, rules out weight-loss injections and announces an album and a solo concert for next year.
Singer Katarina Zivkovic told reporters after a performance at a Belgrade club that negotiations over her New Year’s Eve booking are under way, but that she does not handle the money herself. Kaca also commented on the talk of New Year’s Eve fees, rejected weight-loss injections and announced a new album and a big solo concert.
Who is negotiating her New Year’s Eve gig?
The club where she performed was packed, and the questions that followed were about the approaching holidays. Reports circulating in public claim that singers earn between 100,000 and 200,000 euros for New Year’s Eve. Katarina answered those figures with irony, remarking that it would be great if they were true. She did not name her own fee.
As for her New Year’s Eve appearance, she says negotiations are ongoing, and money is not something she discusses with organizers:
“When it comes to bookings and finances, I have left everything to my manager. He understands that side of things.”
Why won’t she use weight-loss injections?
The singer also addressed a topic that has been getting more attention on the entertainment scene in recent months: weight-loss injections. She said they are not her choice. She keeps in shape with pilates and a change of lifestyle habits.
“I would never use those injections, nor would I recommend them to anyone,” Katarina said.
For those who want to manage their weight, she advises seeing a nutritionist and changing their diet rather than reaching for medication on their own.
What is she planning for next year?
The new album and the concert took up most of the conversation. The singer says her priority right now is quality, not speed:
“I am really planning something big for next year. Right now my priority is new songs and the album.”
Unlike in earlier years, when she chose from songs that were already finished, she has now gathered authors who write songs specifically for her. Some of them worked with her at the start of her career, and others are new names. One of the authors is looking for inspiration for her future songs in Cuba.
The singer also explained how that work went. She did not ask the authors for finished songs, but for meetings:
“I did not ask for songs, but for meetings, so they could feel my energy and, based on that, make something special for me.”
Katarina did not mention a date for the album or the solo concert. She said only that she is planning it for next year, and that once the new songs are out, the concert will come naturally.
