"I'm a mom of four, and I'm not a spring chicken," Duff told the magazine of her Sports Illustrated debut. "I don't typically frolic around in a bathing suit, so it was a little scary. But it was also incredibly empowering. It was a mostly female crew on set, and it really felt like a celebration of women."
Earlier this year, Duff took fans back to the beginning with herLas Vegas residency,where she performed songs like "Wake Up" and "Someone's Watching Over Me."
Following the release of her latest project, "Luck...or something," Duff isgearing up for her "Lucky Me Tour"this summer.
