“Basque is better than your husband”: mother shocked Taisiya Povaliy with an unexpected revelation

“I do not hide my age, because I am very young at heart,” says Taisiya. – To be honest, the numbers in the passport do not mean anything to me. I know I’m somewhere in between: between 55 and 60 years old (laughs). And every year I count how old I turn, what year it is. Actually, I lost count (laughs).

– I am a long-awaited child, born in love. And I am grateful to God that I feel the love of my relatives to this day. It so happened that from the very childhood my mother supported me. I remember for the rest of my life how before each birthday we prepared with her, thought about how to treat my classmates. At that time, we had an amazing tradition: we brought sweets and cakes to the class, which we baked ourselves. For example, nuts with boiled condensed milk inside. The children were very happy: our nuts turned out so tasty! And then I became an artist early. In her city, Belaya Tserkov has been a famous, iconic personality since childhood, so many people congratulated me. This continues to this day. And I also remembered that I always had a lot of money in the winter. They gave me money for my birthday, then for the New Year, followed by carols. It turned out that after the winter I became a very rich girl (laughs).

– And now what do relatives give? Husband Igor, for example?

– Igor was lucky in this regard. Previously, for example, I went to the store, chose something and told him: “There and then there is a gift.” All he had to do was go and pay. I didn’t do that this year. But recently I caught myself thinking that I miss a new concert dress. Therefore, Igor and I will soon go and buy a ready-made outfit, or a beautiful fabric. Probably, before the birthday we will not have time to do it. But in the coming days, definitely. I love it when dresses are made to order. I like to go to fittings, so that pebbles are laid out according to my figure, something is cut, cut out …

Are you expecting congratulations from your son and grandson?

– Necessarily. My grandson, I think, will shower me with gifts this year. He draws very beautiful drawings. He is 3 years and 8 months old. He not only draws. He already makes arrangements, writes melodies, and songs with words. He is a very talented guy. She reads beautifully, composes fairy tales. I think I will have a happy birthday.

– Do you feel like a grandmother?

For my grandson, I am Taya. We have very high, global relations with him. It seems to me that I see myself in him: my facial features, character. Maybe I’m imagining all this. But, remembering myself in childhood, I understand that we are very, very similar.

– Which of the stars usually congratulates you?

– Kolya Baskov will congratulate you one hundred percent. Since 2003, since we met him, we have been going through life together. For five years without each other, they didn’t even go on tour anywhere. Our hits became so popular that no one took us separately.

– And the novel was attributed. Remember?

How can you forget? (laughs). Of course I remember. I was pleased anyway. I remember my mother even said to me: “He suits you better than Igor!”. Kolya and I are white, we look so beautiful together.

– I wonder how Igor reacted to such words of his mother-in-law?

Igor saw how happy I was at that moment. Therefore, he was happy for me, and for our success, and for the songs that everyone sang: from young to old. Igor understands the great mission of the artist – to give people through songs, through his voice his love. Igor at that moment enjoyed the fact that he was next to two people who had such an important mission.

– Kolya will congratulate, and who else?

– Stas Mikhailov always calls me on my birthday. We also have a very bright duet. Everyone with whom I sang will definitely congratulate. Although on this day, many of my colleagues have a busy time. They are all busy: a lot of filming, concerts. Someone because of this may forget about my holiday. But I do not take offense at them, because I understand what time it is.

– Taisiya, according to your horoscope you are Sagittarius. What qualities do you have?

– Sagittarius is the best sign, the sign of fire. Sagittarius – very fair, purposeful – it’s all about me (laughs).

— Do you believe in horoscopes, advice from astrologers?

— I believe. We all come from nature. And we must go through life with her. Nature supports us, and we must support nature, show her our respect, reverence. In my opinion, this is correct. Before the New Year, for example, I try to understand what is the best way to celebrate the holiday. This year, however, I haven’t read it yet. But I will definitely read it. And if there is a suitable outfit in my wardrobe, I will definitely wear it.

What are the New Year traditions in your family?

We always watch Christmas lights because I wonder what I look like. This year we will not change the tradition, we will definitely include New Year’s programs. I’ve already filmed them. I tried very hard. And, of course, we will have champagne and Olivier salad on the table, which I will prepare myself.
