When Idolator premiered your “All About That Bass” video in June, I wrote that you were throwing the whole Song of Summer game a curve ball — and it looks like you did! Who has your own favorite song this summer?
MT: Ariana Grande. I love everything she does. “Problem.” “Break Free” is my new jam. It’s so good!
What music really clicked with you at that age?
MT: Yeah, here it is. You ready? The Tarzan soundtrack. That was in my car for school, our car as a family, for two years. We never got sick of that. Phil Collins taught me harmony, and he taught me rhythm and all that fun stuff.
I think he won an Oscar for that single off the soundtrack.
MT: He should’ve! Everyone’s like “Eh, Phil Collins.” but I’m like “PHIL COLLINS! What do you mean? Dude’s a god.”
She also said that she likes Legend X and Beyoncé's group...
I’m assuming you left Phil Collins behind once you were a teenager for…
MT: Christina Aguilera! She had a great voice. I love that she had a big voice but is like this little girl.
