Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Talking with the biggest stars from our Mercedes Benz Interview
Lounge backstage at See one hundreds jingle Ball. This is
Elvis Duran in the morning shows jingle Ball Diaries live
from the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge. I am gandhi here
with Danielle and my favorite of the night. Hello. We
are so excited to see you. I've been hyping this

(00:21):
up forever and now you're here part of jingle Ball.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
How are you feeling? I'm so excited. This is like
such a blast.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
I'm watching Zara Larson and she's such a Nordic queen.
I love that there's a Nordic takeover of jingle Ball.
Happy yeah, happy, happy neighbor of hers.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
She's incredible and speaking of your world.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
A matter of time was released and it's pretty much
like a.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Diary of sorts. It definitely all does it.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Feel releasing your diary and then watching people interpret it
however they interpret it and sing along with you.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
It's so rewarding.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
I think it just you know, it's like you said,
it's like a diary, so it's very honest and getting
to when you put that out into the world, it
can be a little scary, but the second people respond
to it saying that they feel heard or seen from it,
or it makes them feel better in some way.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
That makes me feel better. Oh, I'm one of those people.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
So do you ever put out a song though and say, oh,
maybe I shouldn't have put that out it's too personal.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think I have moments where I'm like, oh, did
I go too far? But ultimately no, because it's there's
always a little bit of, you know, of decoration around it.
It's never like one hundred percent accurate. And also, I
think if all the artists that I look up to,
all the great artists, you know, we're trying to hold
back parts of their emotions or thoughts and their art,

(01:47):
they wouldn't be the great artist that we know today.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
You know, absolutely not. So the other day we interviewed you.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
You were on the show The Elves Around Morning show
with us, and when the MIC's shut off, I.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Asked you a question. I thought your answer was fascinating.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
I said, what was the biggest culture shock for you
coming from Iceland to the United States?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Do you remember what you said? You said, two things. Yeah,
I was.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
I was very taken aback when I moved to the States,
how open people were with their emotions and how willing
they were to talk about how they felt at any
given moment, and also how often they ask you how
you feel. It is like a lot of regard for
how people around them are feeling, which I think is
it's a good thing.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
At first, I was.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Like, whoa I to know that you were crying.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I didn't need to know that you were crying at breakfast.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
And now I'm like the biggest open book and I
tell I, very loudly, tell everyone.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I was crying at breakfast.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I was going to say, do you feel like we
Americans have made you a little bit more open?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Absolutely?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
I became a writer after I moved to the States
because I think it really allowed me to feel comfortable
in my skin. It's you know, it was my first
time being around diverse people and not needing to I
wasn't always the odd one out anymore, which I think
gave me this space to be able to write about

(03:09):
my feelings and open up about my feelings.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
The US is a big country, oh misfits, So well,
yeah it is, and you make us all feel seen
as well. So thank you for that, and thank you
for joining us because we love you. We cannot wait
to see you on stage.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
