Christina Aguilera’s daughterSummer Rainhas her sights set on a new gig!
Aguilera, 43, revealed in a newVogueinterviewpublished on Friday that 9-year-old daughter Summer has set her sights on becoming her manager — or “daught-ager” as she has now aptly been named — after spending time behind-the-scenes at herLas Vegas residency, which began on Dec. 30.
“Before I go on stage, she knows I get nervous, and she’s like, ‘You’re going to do great, mama,’ ” the singer continued. “My manager will be like, ‘She’s coming for my job!'"
“And on the way to school the other day with her dad, she said, ‘When I grow up, I want to either be mama’s photographer or mama’s manager.’ It’s so funny.”

Aguilera added that it was rapper and singer-songwriterWill.i.am, 48, who came up with the genius buzzword for daughter Summer. “He was like, ‘Oh my God, she’s yourdaught-ager.’ So daught-ager is the word of the year. It’s just so cute,” she toldVogue.

“That’s 100% what she is. If I’m running late for something or have an appointment, she’s like, ‘You know they’re waiting, mama. We need to go.’ It’s hilarious,” Aguilera — who is also mom toson Max Bratman, 15, whom she shares with exJordan Bratman— continued.

“And I’m like, ‘Oh, really?’ ” Aguilera recalled toVogue, before getting emotional. “And literally she’s embodying that, and it’s just the most beautiful … I could cry thinking about it. I don’t want to cry today! She marches to the beat of her own drum, and she’s just a little firecracker.”
Aguilera’s latest interview was published shortly after she announced last week that she is postponing some of her residency shows due tohaving the “New Year flu.”
“AFTER WELCOMING YOU ALL TO THE NEW YEAR FROM THE STAGE IN LAS VEGAS. I’VE BEEN WELCOMED WITH A NEW YEAR FLU!!!” the singer wrote in an Instagram Story post.She added: “I AM SORRY TO SHARE THAT MY TWO SHOWS THIS WEEKEND WILL BE RESCHEDULED WHILE I REST - AND I CANNOT WAIT TO BE BACK ON THAT STAGE IN A FEW WEEKS.”
“I’M INCREDIBLY PROUD OF THIS SHOW AND GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AND LOVE AFTER OPENING WEEKEND! SEE YOU SOON 🤒 😷,” Aguilera concluded her announcement.
