Musical Collab with Divi! 🧸🎶

Hewo Lilies! This is a collab!! Finallyy, I love having collabs because the discussions can be so fun and we always come up with the most amazing things at the end 🥺💜

Today I’ll be interviewing Divi! On terms of music 😎😂 Since we share a pretty similiar music taste, we decided on this collab!

Credits to Divi for the ideas! Our emails were filled with puns! Let’s begin 👀☕

---

Hiii Divi! It’s so cool to have you here. Do introduce yourself! Musical way, normal way? Wait no, not normal, the weird way because weird is the way 😛

Hey Lili! Thanks for having my crazy self here. To all the blog readers, this is Divi and I write on my blog “The Name is Divi”. I am currently 14 on the outside but probably still a 6 year old kid on the inside. In a musical way, I’m an Arianator, Swiftie and a newborn, baby ARMY!  

Yayy, we love a multistan!! Let’s get started with your interview already 😂💜

---

1. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆?

LOADS of types, genres, artists, to be honest. Currently though, it’s probably BTS because I’ve been recently smitten by them? I love “We are bulletproof: the eternal”, I’m constantly humming that song! I also love Ariana Grande’s ballads. At the moment, I love songs that are either upbeat, optimistic songs or really sad ballads.   

---

2. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 ‘𝘀𝗮𝗱’ 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁?

I don’t actually listen to sad music, I don’t actually relate to it. I like optimistic, upbeat music, filled with hope (like our sunshine J-Hope)✨🌞🌞!! But, since you asked, I love “off the table” (Ariana Grande and The Weeknd)and “My tears ricochet” (Taylor Swift). 

---

3. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲?

Again, SO MANY! But my top 5 faves are 

i) 7 rings, Ariana Grande- because it is just so ICONIC.

ii) Dynamite, BTS- because, why not? (It’s one of my mom’s favorites too!)

iii) Look what you made me do, Taylor Swift- Love all those intricate details and easter eggs (typical Tay) and I love how the video is so POWERFUL.

iv) I Need U, BTS- Just how sadder can they look in that video?! But, I love the message and the transitions of youth to adulthood. It’s meaningful.

v) Heather, Conan Gray- The video is just super slow, super chill and super beautiful. It’s utterly and aesthetically pleasing.

4. 𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀? 𝗪𝗵𝘆?

I can’t 😭😭! Music, I guess. Because a book can get over, but we can always play a different song. *realises that we can start reading another book too* Book reading is somewhat ‘tedious’ for me.

---

5. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰? (𝗜 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘆-)

EVERY SINGLE MOMENT MY HEADPHONES SHALL REST IN MY EARS-
That pretty much sums it up. 

FELT PLS- 😭😭

7. 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀? 𝗢𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲, 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲!

Butter by BTS! So catchy that even my mom hums it everyday! And Summer of Love is pure perfection. I also like Savage Love, purely for the groovy beats! I also love Shivers, the new song by Ed Sheeran!

I love Shawn Mendes’ music too! 😍

8. 𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘂𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺? (𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗜 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗮𝗱𝘀)

DEFINITELY. I would totally sue them. I have a good time listening to an album, and you know the thing about albums is the transitions, right? And there they go, wham, an ad. 

I relate, I swear why can’t the let people listen to music in peace. Imagine having no ads 😌

---

9. 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗺? (𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁)
   𝗔/𝗡 – 𝗢𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝗲?

I could own it, but definitely don’t own the guts to ask for it. You get what I mean? I absolutely hate confrontations and counter questions. If I ask someone to buy me an album (and that someone is always my parents), they would surely ask me the reason and how it would help. And I cannot just go and say, “I need to support my pop idol by buying this.”, how weird would that be? Fandom problems.

I absolutely get what you mean 😭😭 Like come on I just wanna support them 🥺🤧

---

10. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝟱 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗲?

Let’s hope I don’t have that situation ever, but here I go- Blood sweat and tears, pov, Fake Love, Filter, Maniac. Most of them are Korean, because hopefully, I’d learn the lyrics after repeated listening right? 

---

11. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺, 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁? (𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗰 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲)

I don’t know much, but I think it’s arianators. They’re always there for Ariana, and they aren’t TOXIC. I also like ARMY, but I think some are a bit too possessive or angry if someone insults the group. That doesn’t happen much in Arianators.

Yea, some armys are just plain toxic 😭 I’ve met a few too. I’m not really a part of Ariana’s fandom, but it sounds like a wonderful place.

She’s gorgeous tho-

---

12. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗺, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲?

So many to pick! But I would love to buy Folklore, Map of the soul 7 or thank U next probably kid krow. How proud would I be to own them!

---

13. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼, 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 ‘𝘀𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘆’ 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗲?

7 rings. She literally brags about her riches. How sassy is that? Very.

Ariana - I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it 🙄✋✨
Me - I see it, I like it, I want it, I check the price tag, and I keep it back 😭

---

14. Have you ever cried over a song?

No I haven’t! I just had happy tears after I heard pov. I shed a tear or two when I heard “A cut that always bleeds‘ by Conan Gray. Oh I almost forgot! “Needy” from the thank u next album is one of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard, I cried over it a little.

---

15. Music producer? (The cool one ayy) or an Idol?

I still don’t know much about the idol system or pop industry in general, but I think I like Music producers. They put in a lot of effort. (Not saying idols are trash, but music producers are pretty good.)

---

16. What is a song that you regret listening to?

Not gonna lie, some Kanye West song that somehow popped in a playlist. I swore to myself to never ever listen to him again. (Sorry Kanye!) I also regret listening to LALISA. *Lili gasps* No sorry, that song isn’t my type.

---

17. 𝗛𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 ‘𝗻𝗼, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰’ 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗲? 😂

One direction! They’re super talented, and their music is superb. But, I didn’t connect to them as much as I did to BTS. I just didn’t like the themes of the music in comparison to the other types I usually feel interested in. Did I mention I also don’t listen to BLACKPINK? I don’t mean to offend BLINKS or the absolute queens, but I didn’t feel much about their music, sorry! But I do support them for being strong females in the industry.

My inner blink rn-

18. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆?

I can’t say or comment about others’ opinions, but let’s say: The wrong music goes trending.

OML FR I AGREE 100% ON THIS ^^^^^^

---

19. What is your favorite song sung in a language you don’t understand?

You mean a k-pop song? 😂 I absolutely love “Fly to my room”. Wish I could understand it, but I guess I have to depend on translated lyrics anyway.

---

20. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀?

Heather by Conan Gray. Very underrated. Others are You (Troye Sivan and Tate McRae), My everything by Ariana Grande and the entire Taylor swift discography.

---

21. 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁? 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗼?

Just how happy I feel every time I listen to BTS, I think music impacts not only my life, but everyone’s so much! It helps get a message shared across. It makes us feel. I feel that is the biggest impact music makes. Make us feel and relate to it.
