Meh, I kinda don't care as much as I did before since many things have changed... ranging from her being more than well known and now it becomes less personal with the fans... I'm still a fan of her stuff, but sadly, since she is only getting bigger day by day, me and (other loyal fans) will just become mere numbers..
Lesson learned though:
Sadly, that is true nature for any celebrity/artist out there. When they get to a certain level of success, the people that they were once with or had personal connection with becomes more distant... and of course there are other things (like social pressure, money, fame itself, et. al), but it would not be appropriate to discuss here.
