Transcript
00:00Hey guys, it's Ariana Davis here and I am with the one, the only, Hailee Steinfeld.
00:05Hi!
00:06We are going to be talking today about lots of fun stuff.
00:09Music, eyewear line, lots of cool stuff happening.
00:11But first, we have a game of Refinery29 called Celeb 10-9-8
00:15where we count back from 10 and we ask you some rapid-fire questions.
00:18Oh gosh, okay.
00:18These are going to be intense.
00:19Okay, I'm ready.
00:21I am.
00:21Starting with number 10, something that you would never do again.
00:25Ugh!
00:25I feel like I will live through these certain experiences and be like,
00:28okay, never again.
00:29And now that you've asked me, I can't think of any of them.
00:32I feel like I have yet to do something really stupid that I might regret.
00:36Number 9, your favorite trait about your zodiac sign.
00:39What is your zodiac sign?
00:40I'm Sagittarius.
00:41Sag.
00:42I feel like Sagittarius are supposed to be like a little mysterious.
00:44I feel like that's always kind of one of the traits.
00:46Calling it mysterious.
00:47I'm calling it mysterious for you.
00:49Number 8 is your best excuse for being late.
00:52Oh, I don't really have any good excuses.
00:55I just apologize until they forgive me.
00:58Excuse for being late.
00:59Traffic.
01:00Number 7, someone you want to meet in heaven.
01:03Oh, wow.
01:04That's a deep one, right?
01:05Yeah.
01:06Could be Michael Jackson.
01:07Could be someone in your family.
01:08I was literally thinking Michael and Whitney.
01:09That's so funny.
01:10That's a good combo.
01:11Number 6, a problem that you want to fix.
01:15I mean, there's like deep answers like racism and then there's also like, you know,
01:18more like I want there to be less commercials on TV.
01:22I feel like I just want to watch stuff all the way through.
01:24You know what?
01:24Well, I agree with both of those things.
01:26There we go.
01:27Number 5, a favorite song for a drive.
01:30There's a song called I Like Me Better by this artist, Lov.
01:33And I love driving in the car listening to that song, especially by the ocean.
01:39I don't know.
01:39There's something about it.
01:40Nice.
01:40I have to check that out.
01:42Number 4 is what was the last text that you sent before you walked out the door?
01:46I think it was to my dad.
01:48It was just an emoji.
01:50That's kind of how we communicate.
01:51Nice.
01:52I love when parents use emojis.
01:54I know.
01:54Oh my God.
01:54And he's got like the bitmoji thing too and it looks too much like him.
01:57It's very weird.
01:58That's such a parent thing.
01:59It is.
01:59Definitely a parent thing.
02:00Number 3, give Refinery29 some advice for free.
02:03I've said this before.
02:04I'll say it again and I always sort of love to hear this from other people.
02:08And that is to sort of find your light.
02:11Find what makes you happy.
02:12And don't let anybody tell you that it's not right for you.
02:15Because if it is what makes you happy, then it can never be the wrong thing.
02:19Okay.
02:20Yeah.
02:21Number 2 is something that you do when you're feeling blue.
02:23Sometimes I'll just sort of go into my room, light a candle, listen to some music.
02:28Or sometimes if it's something that I kind of want to get my mind off of, I'll call some
02:32friends and go for a walk or I don't know, just lay low.
02:36Alright, so number 1 is take a selfie with us.
02:39Oh, word.
02:39Okay.
02:40Ready?
02:40One, two, three.
02:42Nice.
02:43I want to talk about music.
02:45You're in the upcoming Pitch Perfect 3 movie.
02:47You also have your own music going on.
02:48When did you first fall in love with music?
02:51I can't even tell you.
02:53It was so early on in my life.
02:54I grew up in a household that all different genres of music were playing from R&B on my
03:01mom's side and my dad was classic rock and my older brother is sort of everything in between.
03:08Music's just always been such a huge part of my life and it's always been part of my
03:12plan and wanting to record my own music, write my own music and perform.
03:16And the acting happened first and so it sort of became a matter of like how can I do this
03:21in a way that makes sense?
03:22And then Pitch Perfect 2 happened a couple of years ago and that was the perfect bridge
03:27into making music and now I'm making music and now Pitch Perfect 3 is happening.
03:29Perfect combo.
03:30Yes.
03:30We're all big fans at Refinery29.
03:32Pitch Perfect 3.
03:33I want to talk about that.
03:34How do you feel like this third installment in the series is different than the previous
03:38two?
03:39Oh gosh.
03:40Well, apart from it being a lot funnier, the music is awesome.
03:45The performance numbers are really great.
03:47We spent weeks in advance preparing for those and there's a lot of great cameos in this movie
03:52that I think people are going to be really excited about.
03:54What's the vibe like on set for you guys when you're filming?
03:56Because I feel like you must have so much fun together.
03:58It really is a blast.
03:59I mean to call singing and dancing for three months straight work is crazy.
04:05But yeah, it's so light hearted and so fun.
04:08Trish C who directed the last film is amazing and just set the tone for everybody and was
04:13just a fearless leader.
04:15And so your latest single was Most Girls, right?
04:17Yeah.
04:17So what would you say is the message that you want viewers or listeners to get from Most
04:22Girls?
04:23What's the message that you were trying to send with that song?
04:24Well, Most Girls sort of came from the experience of seeing and having this sort of happen
04:30to myself as well.
04:31A guy complimenting a girl by saying they're not like most girls.
04:36And I guess sort of accepting that, having accepted that as a compliment in the past and
04:40in ways wanting to hear that from a guy, it just occurred to me that it's really not
04:45much of a compliment.
04:47Little do they know.
04:47Little do they know.
04:48It's slightly offensive.
04:50And it's me sort of being sort of struck by this realization that most women, all women,
04:55girls are amazing and intelligent and have a story and have something to offer.
05:00And I'm more aware of that now than I think I've ever been.
05:03And I'm inspired by that.
05:04You're so wise behind your ears.
05:07What's your favorite song to sing acapella?
05:09Like on your own or in the shower or in the car?
05:12I feel like I will just sing a medley of like whatever's on my mind.
05:16And that happens to be like the most random songs.
05:20I haven't stopped listening to Bruno's album.
05:22I haven't.
05:23I can't wait for Miley's.
05:25I love Malibu.
05:26That's been amazing.
05:28You have a new venture.
05:29Tell us a little bit about it.
05:30What's it called?
05:30What was the inspiration behind it?
05:32Why did you want to get into eyewear?
05:34So this line, Prevay Reveaux.
05:36I am someone that has a very hard time keeping track of things with all of my travel,
05:41including sunglasses.
05:42They are incredible quality for a very affordable price.
05:46I want to try more of these on.
05:47Which one would you recommend?
05:48Do it.
05:48Whatever you're feeling.
05:49These are the hard people.
05:50I was looking at those.
05:51Okay, good.
05:51I feel like you must know my soul.
05:54Yes, girl.
05:55Work.
05:55I like them.
05:56Love it.
05:56I found my weekend look.
05:57I love it.
05:58And you always have an amazing beauty look like with your hair and your makeup.
06:02What is your kind of go-to beauty look or beauty secret when you're not feeling at
06:07your best?
06:07How do you kind of put a little pep in your step?
06:09Love a little mascara.
06:10A little highlight.
06:11You know what I'm saying?
06:12Mm.
06:13Concealer.
06:14Because like, oh my god.
06:15That's the best.
06:16But secret.
06:17My real secret is when I don't want to do any of that.
06:20I throw on a pair of these shades and go over a day.
06:23Sunglasses would cover up anything.
06:25You know?
06:25It's true.
06:25And you still always look like a rock star.
06:27Thank you, Hayley.
