How is it having A$AP Rocky on your new song? Did you get to work with him or was it more of back and forth e-mail type collab?
"I didn't. He actually just sent me the nicest message today. We're hopefully going to get together soon. But I've always ... I love hip hop. I love R&B. I love urban. I love music like that. So on my previous albums, I've attempted, and they're like, 'Aw, next album,' or, 'Aw, you're too young.' And it's fine. Obviously, it is kind of scary coming into my territory with my fan base but for this record, I've really kind of taken everything into consideration. I am becoming an adult, which is important. So I recorded the song. I'm obsessed with A$AP's new album. It's so good, and he was the first person I thought of so I sent it to him and I was like, 'Oh, I don't know what he's going to say.' And he literally loved it and the next day, recorded his verse, and it was amazing."
Do you have a favorite part of the "Good For You" music video?
"You know, Sophie Muller directed the video, which I think is awesome because I'm all about women, empowering other women. And it is such an important thing. So I mean, I love all of the video. It's just very vulnerable and raw. I think I love my jeans and T-shirt just because it's not the typical thing. I feel like people here, especially guys are like, 'Ah, lingerie and sexy.' I think being sexy as a young woman or girl, is not caring what other people think, wearing like casual things, feeling sexy."
You just wrapped three films this year, which is so exciting, but it's also a lot of work. How do you balance acting with music?
"I recorded some of the record and then I went and took some of the summer off to shoot some movies. And honestly, each profession is very important to me. I just have so many people tell me that I can't do both and I've just wanted to prove people wrong. Because, like I see like Jamie Foxx. He [gets] an Oscar nomination and then a Grammy nomination. I'm like, 'You're going to tell me I can't do it?' I don't think so. I'm going to be able to do both, and I know I can. So I just had such a passion and a drive for both. I think they're extremely different and I love that."
What was it like filming the "Bad Blood" music video with Taylor Swift. Your character Arsyn was the villain.
"It was fun. Yeah, she called me up and I think I was the first person she asked to be in the video. She was just like, 'I think it would be funny. Everybody knows that we're friends. It would be cool if you were the villain.' I was like, 'I'm down.' And we did some stunt training. I had no idea it was going to be like a legit thing, and we did some stunt training. It was just fun. It doesn't count as work. We're like hanging in between takes and like hanging out and talking. It's fun."
