4. On celebrities like Taylor Swift & Lorde fangirling over her:
Did you see Taylor Swift call you a magical princess?
HD: I saw it at night and I was like, Did I dream that? That’s cute! Aw. It’s really flattering, and it doesn’t even feel real sometimes.
You know, I feel like such a normal person — I AM a normal person. Everyone’s always like, “She’s so normal,” and it sounds funny to actually come out of my mouth. I just am! And so, you know, I’m just really big fans [of them]. I love Lorde and had her record on repeat. And same with Taylor Swift — she’s just a pop gangster, and it’s really flattering!
Would you ever do a collab with either of them?
HD: Of course! Give me all of them!
HD: I’m such a huge pop fan, and love seeing all these young people just dominating. It’s really cool. It was really hard when I was coming up, because I was so young, and no one thought I was capable of any of it. Everyone was always second-guessing me, and I felt like I had to fight for everything, or fight for people to take me seriously. And it was really, like, the fans and the people that loved me from my show that helped me be so successful. So it’s nice to see that there’s been a shift and that young people really can dominate.
