-
Are you wearing your own cosmetics right now?
-
I am.
-
Well, it looks good. I would never think to...
-
You know, I'm bad at making decisions when it comes to like what colors to wear and that sort of thing
-
I would never...but it does look good, you put such a dark, almost blood purply color on your lips with a bright red suit
-
It's a lot, but I think it's appropriate.
-
It's fabulous.
-
Thank you. You have your own there.
-
I do. Yeah you get...
-
Now, what is the difference between lip gloss and lipstick?
-
Well, the lipstick is a stick...um...
-
This is more of a gloss? Yeah, it's a gloss.
-
That makes sense.
-
There you go.
-
Do they have flavors or anything like that?
-
That one smells really good.
-
Can I eat it?
-
I wouldn't, um, but the plus side is that M.A.C always smells really good, too
-
And the reason we're matching this is because the proceeds go to M.A.C AIDS Benefit
-
Now, you um...
-
You have such a huge following on twitter, how many fans you have on twitter followers?
-
I don't um...I don't remember...That's how many you have. You don't know.
-
I can tell you the names of all my followers
-
I was told it's like 30 something million followers.
-
And they seemed to be right...First of all, they have a name.
-
Which is really the ultimate compliment for a celebrity when your fans organize and give themselves a name.
-
Arianators.
-
It's a little bit of a mouthful.
-
They gave themselves that.
-
I originally was calling them the Ariana Army, and then I was calling them Tiny Elephants
-
I don't know how that came about.
-
But it stuck for a while, and um, yeah that's them, they're amazing.
-
I think Ariana Army was better actually, because Arianators sounds like something you buy at the AutoZone.
-
Yeah.
-
And they seemed to be very preoccupied now, by the title of your album
-
Oh my god. This is happening.
-
Some controversial there, right?
-
Yeah. You know a really long time ago I was convinced that it was gonna be called "Moonlight"
-
because it was one of my favorite songs that we did for the album, and um...
-
Now, as we're wrapping things up, of course I've sort of been writing and singing and we're at the final stretch.
-
But they like Moonlight.
-
Well, I don't know. I think, maybe. Maybe they just like it because I like it.
-
I don't know if they really did or not. They maybe not telling the truth. I don't know.
-
But um...Now, there is this other song that has sort of thrown me for a world and I love it so much and it sort of change that...
-
Which song is that?
-
Oh if you say it, are they gonna get mad at you again for change it?
-
I don't know if I wanna share yet, because they haven't heard any of it.
-
I see.
-
The thing with Moonlight is I let them hear a little bit of it, but the thing with other song is that they haven't heard it.
-
It sounds like you have to be careful, like it sounds like you're living in fear of these people
-
No! I just care about them a lot.
-
I see. Ok.
-
I do have to be a little careful.
-
You do have to be a little careful.
-
What happens when they actually meet you? Did they lose they're minds?
-
Well, there are three things that happen
-
They either come in very confidently, and they know what they want.
-
They know what poses they want for pictures. They know what they want.
-
And they're like "Yas, girl!"
-
They come in, you know, with energy.
-
Or they come in crying and didn't say much.
-
Or there are other ones that are really really quiet, that their parents are kind of forcing them to be there though like
-
"Hug her, you wanted this! You like her, hug her!"
-
"We're here, do it!"
-
Forcing them, and it's just...
-
That's the worst one, right?
-
I'm like, "It's okay! You don't have to."
-
It's gonna be weird though. It's like all of a sudden there you are, for real. And yeah, I can understand.
-
Have you done that with anyone? Is there anyone you've had that experience with?
-
Yes, my all time favorite artist is Imogen Heap.
-
I'm in love with her. I'm obsessed with her. She is incredible. She is a genius. And I've loved her forever.
-
And there was an email that came in, that was like
-
Hey, Imogen heard that Ariana has a concert in the UK, would like to have her over for dinner.
-
And I was like, "Oh my god! This is not real."
-
And I was on my way to her house, and it was a really long, long drive.
-
And um...I thought that...
-
Eventually I thought that I was being catfished.
-
I thought it really wasn't gonna happen.
-
I was like, "She doesn't wanna have dinner with me. This is all a joke. I'm driving to my death right now. I'm about to be murdered."
-
And um...It ended up being her and it was a pleasant surprise.
-
Well, it is a good ending to the story. Yeah I mean...
-
It was great, and I didn't die.
-
What did she make for you? Did she cook, or did someone else cook?
-
It was really nice. Um...
-
I forget what the meal was. The whole night was really a blur.
-
I was really shocked the whole time. I don't think I said anything.
-
Yeah. Didn't you drive home thinking, "Oh I should've mention this. I should've told her how much I like this."
-
I was actually convinced that I had died, and that was like a dream.
-
And that was the pinnacle for you.
