  Speaker 3: I'm from Slovakia, which is like a little country in Europe.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I was a ballerina since I was three years old.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: And I was always singing and dancing. I did ballet
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: professionally for a chunk of my life. And then I
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, I don't want to do this anymore.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I want to do music. So then I auditioned for
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: this show called Popstar Academy in secret when I was 18.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: And then I spent two years doing that. And it
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: came out on Netflix. Yep. Didn't make it into the group,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: but I made my own songs and people liked them.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: So that's really great.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Okay. And didn't you teach yourself English?
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I did. I saw Hannah Montana when I was five
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: years old. Hannah Montana was like, oh, you can do
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: this as a job?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Like, okay, sign me up.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: And then my older brother was like, oh, they're actually
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: all American because I thought she was from Slovakia because.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: It's dubbed over.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: So I was like, oh, like I can just audition
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: and it's fine.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: But you can't.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: You can't.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: You can't.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: And so I was like, oh, okay. And then when
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I was eight, I was like, you know what? I
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: can't be from America, but I can sound American.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: So I like taught myself English. I like mimicked like celebrities.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I just like would come home from school and I
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: would spend literally hours on YouTube watching like. Ariana Grande
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: interviews and like Miley Cyrus.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Did you know what she was saying in the early
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: days or were you just like repeating what she was?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Like not at first.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you were just talking words.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Like I was, I don't really even understand how it happened.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: See, because English is my first language and I can
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: barely speak it properly sometimes. And you, I mean, I'm impressed. Right.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: This is the thing that I'm finding out is like,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: sometimes my vocabulary is wider than actual people.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Only one language.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: No shade.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: No, actually shade. No, no, no. Shame on me. Shame
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: on me. Um, okay. So that's an incredible backstory on
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: how you got here. So then fast forward, you're on
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Tik Toks with Troye Sivan and Demi Lovato. Like this
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: is just like a wild four years for you.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: It is. I guess it is. Um, it's insane. I
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Like I've, I've listened to Troy since I was literally 11.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: You've, and I, sorry, you said you've been obsessed.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I've been obsessed with Troy since I was 11.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And so it was crazy when I like, remember the
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: first time I met him, I was like sitting on
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: a couch and he like knew the words to my song.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Like we played him a song of mine and he
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: was like singing along. And I was like, what the fuck?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I was like, bro, what are you doing?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I literally, I was like, Oh, Troye Sivan. It's so
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: nice to meet you, Troye Sivan.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I called him by his full name.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Full name, okay.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Because I was like, you're a full name person to me.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: No, I get that. Yeah, no, I get that. And
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you can never un-full name this person. No, no, no.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It's Troye Sivan in full.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: All the time.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: But now I've seen him a couple of times, so
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I'm like, maybe I should un-full name you because it's
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: getting a little weird.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Weird, yeah.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: To be Troy.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it is Troy now. But I still want...
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Troye, stop myself.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I love that for you. The hair's great too, by
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the way. Thank you. Now, are we... Are we weaving, wigging,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: or is this your real hair?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: It kind of looks like a wig today.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not saying it does. I'm trying to give
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you a bit of warning in your life.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Listen, there's fabulous wigs out there. Nothing bad with a wig.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: I even said it myself when I was curling. I
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: was like, it kind of looks like a wig. But
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: it is real.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It is real.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: It is real.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: There's like maybe three strands of hair left on my head.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not actually real. There's a lot of
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: fakeness happening.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I guess what I'm trying to say is here is
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: like in... Not that I know much about hair, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I know enough to know that there's only so many
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: goes you get at doing that before it will never
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: be the same again.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: And I don't think it will be. I kind of
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: want to shave my head at some point, but I'm
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: not sure if I have the facial structure for that completely.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And you know what the problem with that is? Is
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that you never know until you've actually done it. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: then you're just like, oh, what have I done?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Until you do it, and then I'll cry. So, you know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, we'll see.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Okay. It is 60 seconds with Adela and... Just the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: first thing that comes to your head. Are you ready
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to go?
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I am such an open book. I would tell
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: you anything you ask me right now. I'm like, I
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: did this. And it doesn't even, like, I don't have, like,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: a sensor in my brain where it's like, oh, this
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: is inappropriate.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, good.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: But it's, like, a bad thing.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I should. No, it is a bad thing. But you
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: may have to, like, rein that in. I, like.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Have started to kind of. But, like, I don't. It
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't come very natural.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Well, let's.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe for the last time, no sensor required.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Your nickname growing up.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
