She was crowned winner with over 3 million votes,[3] receiving as a prize the chance to record a single licensed by Sony Music Canada.[1]

However, in December 2021, she announced her breakup on social media according to the Narcity Quebec blog.[7]
On January 22, 2020, Alicia had a breast reduction. After more than four years of reflection, she decided to take action.

She was also receiving comments about her breasts that made her feel uncomfortable.[8]
