""I think people have an idea of who I was," McLachlan said. "Regardless of my playful, happy nature, what was portrayed was somber album covers and dark moody music." She added: "They assume I'm going to be like Sylvia Plath and reading poetry and drinking wine at midnight with candles and all dark and moody." Reading poetry and drinking wine at midnight with candles? Dark and moody? Don't threaten me with a good time. By contrast, McLachlan insists, she's "so happy and light.""
"In June, McLachlan told Rolling Stone how the commercial came to be. 'A friend of mine was on the [ASPCA] board and said, 'Hey, do you want to do this commercial? We've never done this before with a celebrity or someone known.' I love animals, and we thought it might be a cool thing to do, so I did it,' she recalled. According to McLachlan, the commercial raised roughly $3"
Lilith Fair: Building A Mystery premieres on Hulu and Disney+ and chronicles the origin of the all-female festival founded by Sarah McLachlan. McLachlan promoted the film and her first studio album in nearly a decade, Better Broken. She spoke candidly about nearly losing her voice and using therapy to better understand her eldest daughter. McLachlan described how the 2007 ASPCA commercial set to her song "Angel" reshaped public perception of her as somber and moody. She rejected that image, saying people imagine a Sylvia Plath–like persona while she identifies as happy and light. She joined the ASPCA spot after a board member invitation and because she loves animals.
