  • Another year.

  • Seven years.

  • This is the eighth video, right?

  • But it was seven years ago today that we started this.

  • We didn't put out a video last year.

  • It's true.

  • A big, big year.

  • Just the whole, the whole Barbie thing.

  • Swarm.

  • Tour.

  • I finally played Brazil.

  • Labyrinth.

  • Yep, live at the O2.

  • Yeah, Coachella.

  • Bad guy.

  • Went diamond.

  • I'm back on my bullshit.

  • I want to do more.

  • What does that mean, I want to do more?

  • Wow, I was like yelling.

  • I've spent a lot of time in the last, like, this summer looking at videos and photos from, like, this month.

  • Since then, so much has happened.

  • It's nonsense.

  • I have the most monthly listeners right on Spotify in the entire world.

  • So I surpassed 100 million monthly listeners.

  • And then now I am the most streamed artist in the world on Spotify.

  • I released my album.

  • Went on tour again.

  • I made so many new friends.

  • Adopted another dog.

  • It's been a friendship-filled year.

  • I and Phineas won an Oscar for, what was I made for?

  • I can't even really describe how amazing that was.

  • And then it was like we were the youngest people in history to win two or something crazy.

  • Ooh, did I predict it?

  • Am I gonna win the Oscar?

  • I don't know.

  • We're manifesting, but we're also not gonna be disappointed and angry if I don't.

  • And I do think, objectively, it is one of the best songs I've ever made.

  • I don't, I think it's crazy that we would win again.

  • Again.

  • Yeah, I kind of can't believe that happened again.

  • I feel proud of it and I'm proud to have made it.

  • Proud that it is of me.

  • I want to rescue some horses.

  • Maybe skydive.

  • Like a bungee jump off a cliff or something.

  • I really want to do stuff like that.

  • Things that I could die because of.

  • I want to adventure so bad.

  • I do want to skydive.

  • Haven't done that yet.

  • Be doing racing.

  • Be doing stunt driving.

  • I definitely want some more piercings.

  • I want some more tattoos.

  • Another dog.

  • Be hanging out with your family.

  • Be making new friends.

  • Be having new friends.

  • Be having good...

  • ...sex.

  • Got there.

  • I've done nothing but make friends all year and...

  • ...gotten so close with people that I wasn't with before and...

  • ...became friends with people I used to be friends with again and...

  • ...just like...

  • It's just been a year filled with friendship which honestly...

  • ...even though I was saying a lot of things that I want to do...

  • ...that was the real...

  • ...that was like the thing that I wanted to do.

  • And I really did it and it was awesome.

  • And yes, I've had a lot of good sex.

  • So, you're welcome, Billy.

  • I want you to have fixed the little chip.

  • You can see it.

  • 2018.

  • Did it to me.

  • And when I'm smiling, my tooth is so ugly.

  • Whiten those suckers.

  • I'll let have you know, Miss Red Hair, that I chipped another tooth.

  • So not only did I not fix the other chip, but I also chipped another one.

  • So now I have a chip here and a chip here.

  • I also remember really wanting me at that time to fix this little gap as well.

  • And...

  • I'm in the process.

  • Okay.

  • God.

  • Hopefully, keep doing what you're doing because I hope that what you're doing is...

  • ...good.

  • Don't do that thing again where you...

  • ...just do what somebody else wants to do.

  • We're not going to let somebody...

  • ...take away my sparkle, as they say.

  • Solid advice.

  • And I haven't done that.

  • That really has stuck in my head.

  • And I think that I used to pretend like I was doing that.

  • But I think, since then, I really have been doing that.

  • And I don't...

  • I'm really...

  • I really trust myself.

  • And I think, like, especially that 2022 girl.

  • I don't think, like, I trusted her.

  • So I really trust myself now.

  • And I'm not going to let any of that stuff happen again.

  • And it hasn't happened again.

  • And I've been very cautious about that.

  • And it's always scary when you, you know, fall in love.

  • Or you're, you know, seeing someone.

  • Or you like someone.

  • Or whatever it is.

  • And it's hard to know what the hell is going on.

  • Because you're kind of blinded by this, like, curtain of, like, you know, lust.

  • And love and admiration.

  • So I was very cautious.

  • And have been cautious.

  • I'm currently cautious.

  • And I've been really a good girl.

  • So, not disappointing you.

  • I promise.

  • Brockhampton.

  • Tierra Whack.

  • Techno.

  • Arlo Parks.

  • The Doe.

  • Cake.

  • The Cardigans.

  • Dora.

  • You Know Who.

  • And then also...

  • Me.

  • Deftones.

  • A lot of Deftones.

  • Mazzy Star.

  • This album called Sunburn by Dominic Fike.

  • Honestly, I've been listening to a lot of Lady Gaga.

  • Like, old Lady Gaga.

  • It's so good.

  • Alejandro.

  • And Poker Face.

  • And G.E.Y.

  • And Born This Way.

  • Fruitvale Station.

  • I Origins.

  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a solid choice.

  • Sicario.

  • That shit is fire.

  • Fruitvale Station.

  • That movie's fucking fire, though.

  • It's a great movie.

  • But Secretary.

  • I feel really good about it.

  • I think we're, like, 85% done.

  • Maybe 90.

  • It's very genuinely, like, what I wanted to make, I think.

  • It's true.

  • Like, it was just such a drag.

  • It was so punishing.

  • But I feel like it is the best thing that I've

  • Phineas and I have ever made.

  • And I'm so endlessly proud of it.

  • Like, you don't even know.

  • I used to have this feeling with my music.

  • Like, I liked it, but I was kind of embarrassed for people that I thought were cool to listen to it.

  • Like, anytime somebody that I thought was really cool said they listened to my song,

  • I'd get all embarrassed and nervous and kind of frustrated and annoyed, honestly.

  • I'd be like, no, don't listen to that.

  • Like, that's private.

  • And I think I wasn't as proud of it.

  • And I think that now, in my life and where I am in my career,

  • I really stand for my music.

  • Like, I feel really proud of it.

  • There's this one song called Lunch that I think people might like a lot.

  • There's a song called Birds of a Feather.

  • Damn, I'm giving you titles.

  • Whoa.

  • My prediction then, that I don't know why I didn't even say, but it was what I was thinking then, was I thought Lunch would be the hit, but I also remember being like, but watch, Birds of a Feather is going to end up being the real hit.

  • Lunch was, like, big when this album came out.

  • And then, Birds...

  • Birds is number one.

  • Lowest point of the year was probably in January.

  • I had a meeting with, like, my managers and stuff.

  • They were showing me the schedule for the whole year.

  • And I sat there and was totally silent and totally still and just tears, like, just streamed down my face.

  • That was a horrible, horrible day.

  • Gosh.

  • I mean, you know, I was, like, had just turned 17 and life was seeming very daunting and ended up being even more intense than I ever cried about.

  • If I had really known how it would all go,

  • I would have been bawling my eyes out for days, but also I would have been excited at the same time.

  • The reason I was crying in that story is because I was looking at my touring schedule and it was, like, you know, it's horrifying to see your life planned out like that two years in advance.

  • It's, like, especially for, like, a little girl,

  • I wish that I hadn't had to deal with that, but also, like, my life's fucking awesome and I'm really lucky at the same time.

  • Touring used to be something that was extremely unpleasant and I would dread it and I would only dread it.

  • And the only reason I, you know, did it at all was because I love performing and I always have.

  • And even when I dreaded those tours and, you know, hated the whole process,

  • I loved performing at the end of the day.

  • I had this moment, like, a year ago or two, a year ago, I think, where I was kind of like, touring doesn't have to be miserable and I don't have to just sit through it and take it.

  • I can make it fun.

  • I mean, I'm the fucking boss, for God's sake.

  • And I sat down with my touring team and I was like, let's figure out all the ways to make this fun because this is my job and it's my life and I want to keep doing it and I don't want to, you know, be so tortured by it that I end up never doing it again because I'm resentful of, you know.

  • And so I've created a, you know, surrounding that is just, like, joyous and filled with laughter and love.

  • And for the first time in my life, once again, the words are coming out of my mouth that are,

  • I wish this tour would never end.

  • Ugh.

  • I do have a concert tonight, yeah, and I had one last night and the night before that and tomorrow I'm on SNL.

  • Three show nights in a row is, like, a lot, but it's okay.

  • It was at the Crocodile in Seattle and it was, like, 500, I think.

  • Was that me saying that was my biggest show?

  • Wow.

  • It's impossible to try to, you know, take in and acknowledge even.

  • I mean, it's so, I can't really think about it too much because it'll make me cry and then it'll also give me an existential crisis, but I can't believe the way my life has gone and where it is now.

  • I mean, it's just, like, the craziest fucking thing in the world.

  • No one.

  • You listeners don't understand how unpleasant it is to collaborate with people.

  • It is not a fun experience.

  • The back-to-back.

  • Oh.

  • I mean, it's Charli, though, but it's Charli.

  • Also, like, Charli and I did this collab in, like, the greatest way possible, like, my ideal way, where, you know, she put out her amazing album,

  • Guess was on the extended version, and I heard it because somebody posted it because it came out, and I remember being like, hot, wow, such a hot song.

  • Wow, that's such a good song.

  • God, I wish I had a song like that.

  • And I just went on with my life.

  • And then, like, weeks later,

  • Finneas went to her show.

  • He was talking with, like, her and, like, one of her teammates or something.

  • I don't even know who he was talking to.

  • And they just talked about, like, you know, uh, would Billie be down?

  • You know, we should do a...

  • Billie should hop on something.

  • And, like, had a call with her, talked about it.

  • It was gonna be another song.

  • And then we decided on Guess.

  • And then, like, she sent us stems.

  • Finneas and I went on a hike, came back, went into the studio, sat there, played the song, wrote a verse, sent it back.

  • That's my dream. That's my dream.

  • Finneas came up with, like, the first line being, don't have to guess the color of your underwear.

  • And then I was like, okay, period.

  • And then we both just sat there, twiddling our thumbs, writing, and then wrote that verse, sent it back.

  • She sent something back for her.

  • I sent something back for her.

  • And then we literally shot a video, like, two days later.

  • And then the video got edited the next day, and it came out, like, the next day.

  • It was the craziest, fastest.

  • Like, that is the dream.

  • That is the fucking dream.

  • Anyway.

  • It's a picture of me and Charli XCX.

  • And it has 69,608 likes.

  • Oh, my God.

  • So cute.

  • It's so innocent and just excited about everything.

  • Wow, that's so funny.

  • Full circle, huh?

  • Any person that I have ever been around,

  • I'm dating.

  • It's so crazy.

  • Literally any man that I am near, it's like, that's Billie's boyfriend.

  • And that's the person she's dating.

  • It's crazy.

  • And then it's weird because I'm, like, actually photographed more with women and way, way more incriminating photos of me with women than men.

  • And they're like, Billie and her best friend.

  • It's really funny.

  • It's so weird.

  • I'll see you next time.

  • And the time after that, and the time after that,

  • I'm an old lady.

  • Speaking of old ladies, mom.

  • This is my mom.

  • She is sick as a booty.

  • I don't mind.

  • I can stay here that long.

  • I love you.

  • I love it, too.

  • Hello, baby.

  • His grandma.

  • I love you, Billie.

  • Mommy.

  • Come here, there.

  • Hi.

  • I love you so much.

  • I love you very much.

  • Mother.

  • Join me again.

  • That was a lot.

  • New hair.

  • Hey.

  • Hi.

  • She's back.

  • We're back.

  • Hi, mom.

  • Hi, Preston.

  • Isn't she so pretty?

  • I love you so much.

  • I love you so much.

  • Seven years to the day, mom.

  • Oh, my gosh.

  • And we were in New York, remember?

  • Oh, my gosh.

  • On our first one.

  • Yeah.

  • That was crazy.

  • We never knew what was going to happen with it.

  • I know.

  • I just was saying that.

  • She's the one that helps me have a brain and, you know, use my platform for good and do all the things I need to do.

  • Yes.

  • I hope you have a very busy year.

  • What?

  • With your album comes out, and you have so much fun, and you have such a fun year making videos and playing pickleball and cooking and not jumping off of things.

  • Dude, I'm going to be.

  • You just have to accept I'm going to jump off stuff.

  • And you stay healthy.

  • I've been cooking.

  • You have been cooking.

  • I've actually been cooking.

  • I've been reading.

  • And you have so many good friends, and you take good care of yourself, and you laugh so much, and you have so much fun.

  • And I love seeing it.

  • Love it.

  • I love you.

  • Look.

  • Oh, my gosh.

  • Off to MSG.

  • We go.

  • Mwah.

  • Mwah.

  • That's not for you.

  • That's not for you.

  • Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Once again, like it happens every year, I thought I had more time, and then it's October 18th, again.
