The 26-year-old singer's manager was asked at the Music Matters conference in Singapore if he believes his client has made it in music yet, reported Rolling Stones magazine.

"As big as she has become, globally, she is still a developing act. So we have to treat her as a developing act. She has to spend time in a market. We look at it as an investment

"She's a 200-pound toddler. It was important not to come into a market and play really quick and leave and go to another market. It's about diving deep with the fan base and spending time in the local territories.

"I don't feel as if she's made it yet. You ask me this in 25 years and it might be a different answer. We've got a long way to go. She's on the edge as well," Carter said.
