96

97
New music.
98
Everybody is waiting.
99
I think for me, I answer too many questions starting with I think for me,
100
and it's been pointed out to me and I need to work on it,
101
so I'm going to start that over.
102
So, when are we going to hear new music?
103
I think...
104
I think for me, um...
105
I think for me, um...
106
I think for me...
107
I think for me, um...
108
I think for me, um...
109
I think for me, uh...
110
Do you know what a sea urchin is?
111
Do you know what they are?
112
If you knew what sea urchins were, you would be terrified.
113
Well, listen.
114
They're just these, they're in the...
115
They're on rocks and they're spiny looking.
116
There.
117
And the poor things are just minding their own business.
118
No, they're not.
119
They're not.
120
That's the thing.
121
They're just...
122
They're like...
123
They're like, they're sitting there waiting to completely injure you to the point where,
124
okay, so you step, you can't see a sea urchin.
125
If you're okay, like if you're in the Caribbean,
126
you're like, this water is so beautiful, it's amazing.
127
And you're walking, it's clear water.
128
You can't see a sea urchin's right there.
129
And then you step on one and then it has barbs and it goes into whatever it touches.
130
And then you have to go to the emergency room and it has to be surgically removed.
131
You could lose your foot,
132
you could lose your hand.
133
You could lose your hand trying to get it off of your foot.
134
So I don't like sea urchins.
135
Listen.
136
Didn't you invite a load of people to your house?
137
Fans to your house?
138
I heard that on the radio yesterday.
139
I would go online, I would look at their Instagram pages
140
or their Tumblr or their Twitter or whatever and just kind of watch them for months and months.
141
A stalker.
142
And then I invited them over and.
143
They came.
144
And they came and there have been like,
145
We've had them at every one of my houses and...
146
This is sweet, right?
147
So the fans, because the fans who go to do it,
148
they then of course want to blog about it because they've had this amazing experience.
149
When they blog about it,
150
it's borderline confusing on whether they had a good time or not.
151
So here are some of the blog things.
152
So we were asked to go to the living room,
153
sit down, not to how much I was sweating during that moment.
154
I was like, the fuck is gonna happen?
155
My poor heart could not keep up,
156
then all of a sudden she just popped up out of nowhere.
157
She appeared on a thin air like David Copperfield and we all died like for real.
158
I love them so much because they always talk about dying.
159
Dying, yeah.
160
I died.
161
They're like, rest in peace me, RIP me.
162
I died dead.
163
So you shake it off and you shake your booty.
164
You can shake really any, just there's anything.
165
There's so many things.
166
Hair, hands, hips, ankles. When I...
167
One funny thing that happened,
168
and tell me, I heard this happen,
169
and it sounded like a joke to me,
170
but in Canada, I think two days ago,
171
they put your song up on iTunes.
172
It instantly went to number one.
173
It was the third track of the song.
174
But then what was the track that everybody heard?
175
It was a mistake, and it wasn't a song that they ended up posting.
176
They ended up posting seven seconds of static noise.
177
And it went to number one.
178
And so it went number one,
179
and I was like, what is going on?
180
Well, it just goes to show you,
181
you really don't need to work that hard on this stuff.
182
You know?
183
Yes, I've been really overthinking this entire thing.
184
I've been really trying too hard, clearly.
185
Like the Beatles' White Album,
186
this is your take on that.
187
It's just white noise that you put out.
188
Um, usually, well, I actually call her,
189
um, a name that doesn't really make any sense,
190
but, uh, we...her name is,
191
um, in the house, it's Dibbles.
192
Because it suits her personality more than Olivia.
193
She's like a scrappy little cat.
194
So her name is like Olivia,
195
but it's like, her personality's more like,
196
here you go to the duples.
197
In the last couple of years,
198
the media have had a really wonderful fixation on kind of painting me as like the psycho serial dater girl.
199
It's been awesome.
200
I loved it.
201
And they're like, you know,
202
it was, It got pretty out of control there for a couple of years because it would be like,
203
every article was like, Taylor Swift standing near some guy.
204
Watch out, guy. And .
205
I have this scar on my leg,
206
and it's a very prominent scar that I've had for probably since I was 10 or 11.
207
And everybody always asked me about it.
208
When I was 10, I would sit up in my attic and make castles out of popsicle sticks,
209
and I used a super industrial strength hot glue gun because I was really serious about it.
210
And I was creating a slide
211
and I was just like glue glue glue glue glue glue glue glue
212
And then suddenly I was gluing off the table
213
and a big glob of just like hot glue Was just there
214
and I was like oh and your first instinct is to go Oh,
215
I'll just pull that off and then you know you pull off 17 layers of skin with it.
216
Oh my What is that even is it a spaceship?
217
Nobody cares that I want to get home to see my cats and watch Friends.
218
Can you show me a really cool or bizarre talent?
219
Okay, I'm well aware that this is not a talent,
220
but this is like the only thing that I can do.
221
I have double jointed elbows.
222
Oh, man.
223
Yeah, they're weird.
224
They're a little bit weird.
225
What's something you can't do?
226
I can't do a cartwheel or a handstand.
227
The song All You Had To Do Was Stay.
228
There's this really high-pitched, stay.
229
I had a dream that my ex showed up at my door,
230
knocked on the door, and I opened it up,
231
and I was about ready to launch into,
232
like, the perfect thing to say.
233
And instead, all that would come out of my mouth was that high-pitched chorus of people singing, stay.
234
It is like, all you had to do was stay.
235
Sorry about it.
236
I don't miss you, and now you're back.
237
You're on the cover of Entertainment Weekly,
238
and you have all these Easter eggs on here, right?
239
Yeah, yeah.
240
And I feel like.
241
Explain what the eggs are to people who don't understand.
242
Yeah, because I think that is necessary.
243
So it's like when we say Easter eggs,
244
we're not only talking about Easter eggs that you would go on an Easter egg hunt for on Easter.
245
It's like it's kind of like a clue,
246
like a foreshadowing kind of thing.
247
I like to plant Easter eggs in a video that will be like a lyric from unreleased music,
248
or like a little hint or a little wink to what's coming in the future.
249
Right.
250
So yeah, that was kind of the theme of what we did the Entertainment Weekly thing on.
251
And it's just been really fun to kind of expand the musical experience past just listening to a song.
252
I also want people to be watching the music video,
253
and what's that thing in the background,
254
and what's that song playing underneath there,
255
and is there a reason she said that in French?
256
Right.
257
Because people, and usually your fans are pretty good at figuring it out, right?
258
They're excellent at figuring it out.
259
How far off have they been?
260
What's the worst they've been?
261
Oh, man.
262
Well, there were some fans that thought I had something to do with Avengers Endgame.
263
Oh, really?
264
Which I would have loved to have been asked, but I wasn't.
265
No, you weren't.
266
Asked to be in it at all.
267
Yeah.
268
Because we had the single coming out the same day,
269
and I have a song that was called Endgame.
270
And so they were like,
271
oh my God, she's going to defeat Thanos.
272
And I let everyone down.
273
Yeah.
274
Again.
275
That's well.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
