She’s so contradictory, it’s not even hypocrisy it’s just pure chaos
Lol I love it ahahahaha
Litterally 'I belive art should be free and available to all but I support nfts' tbh still love her tho
is funny tho
I struggle to continue to be a fan of hers. She knows that NFTs are extremely controversial and has done damage to the environment but still does it for the money anyway (and says that art should be free for anyone...). I love her music but the things she defends makes it hard to still appreciate what she does. Edit: I don't listen to Grimes as much as before, and she is 100% devoted to AI now. Don't try to reply to a year old comment, people. I won't answer.
@@cainthings Nfts!!!
She’s an example of how being yourself is the most important thing even if everyone around you thinks you’re insane
She’s insane but rich
Nothing says being yourself like smoking a cigar to be "cool"........LOL Shut up Jordan.....you have much to learn in this life.
Lol she's an example that people will fund other people that shouldn't be funded. Why do you think the world is the way it is and WONT change, ever. Not unless we collapse.
"If there are 100 people in a room, and 99 won't believe in you..."

not grimes admitting she hacked and blackmailed someone 😭 why is that sending me
she's admitted to a lot of things on the internet before so I'm not that surprised lmao

😭💀 best comment ever
It looks like she has angel wings 🤍
Only Grimes can sit on a Variety Fair shoot admit to hacking, bribery and not paying her dancers with the straightest face. 😆😆😆😆😆🙈
Wait...she did pay. In booze and cookies!
Last one is both fully understandable and normal.

@@whengrapespop5728 doesn't make it right
@@back2origin It’s not wrong either. It’s quite rare to have a budget for your first film projects, so this is what everyone does, and the dancers know it. You offer catering instead, or at most transportation costs.
Everytime i see her i feel like i'm doing everything wrong lmao. She is so chill and sure, she seems like she truly doesnt care and i'm over here panicking over a phonecall. God plz just take me
ddosing and blackmail are both federal crimes
I guarantee you that she is just as anxious and neurotic as the rest of us. I've had so many people tell me that I seem confident and chill and sure of myself and it's like nope that's a mask lmao.
dude she’s one of the most neurotic anxious people ever? that’s like very well known. she has horrible social anxiety
It’s because she really genuinely doesn’t care…
She is an elite with no worries in life. Never judge yourself with these privileged demons.
Girl needs a publicist with her at all times, never knows when to not over share 😂
She doesn't care what a collective hive person like you thinks of her. Por que no te callas.
She is like a breath of fresh air
idk i kinda like that in a world where celebs run everything they say through 3 people in case they say something slightly controversial
@@hexgirl_x well they need to because now tin today’s society everyone’s so soft and sensitive. They’ll need to make sure what they say doesn’t get taken out of pocket
@@thatgirlwashere6321 idk maybe they shouldn't care if they do? i know they want to cultivate as big a base as possible but the end result is somewhat soulless
I love Grimes. She’s so chaotic but it seems very genuine. Like she’s just being herself. She’s not afraid to speak about her failures and lesser successes
Yess!
Yes!! She’s just as willing to talk about lower points as she is with higher points in her life
We still need grimes to talk about that picture with rihanna and katy perry. Literally her most iconic picture of all time
I thinks he has somewhere or so I've heard. They approached her first apparently but don't quote me on it.
The world is in a bad state and these people are in charge wake up!
@@cfcreative1 which people?
Yup it’s literally the most iconic picture. Forget actual Pulitzer Prize winning photographs like “Burst of joy” taken after a POW was freed in Vietnam or “Tank man” in Tieneman square. Let’s obsess over a pic of this freak show with Katy Perry. 😑. This is why everyone hates your generation..
@@ckotcher1 he said “her” most iconic photo. not “the most iconic” 😐

@@Snowdrinker Once you manage to power everything with sustainable energy, it doesn't matter how much energy a technology does consume. But yeah... won't happen in the near future.

THANK U
@Izul Padilla this will take so, so much time, and at the moment is so nonsensical, specially when you consider how there are people lacking basic resources that depend on energy around the world, while (rich) people just are wasting massive amounts of it because of crypto.
@Izul Padilla It CAN!
She said this was going to be last time she would do interviews/press and I really hope it isn't true bc grimes really gives some of the most entertaining and interesting interviews out there, like i think I've watched all of her interviews and I'm still intrigued in what she has to say
omg where did she say that???
@@mb-bc9qs she recently said it on her Twitter :(
I think she needs a break (understandable), but she is a commmunication person, she will be back ;-)
I've always seen Grimes as an artist who happens to make music. She's inspired me since the beginning and I wish her more great things to come.
She should let her art do the talking. She doesn't have anything interesting to say in interviews - its really not a format that favours her.
She just admitted that she comitted a federal crime….literally WHAT THE F
It's Grimes
It's camp.
Do the Grimes, Do the time kids
Lol the rules only apply to us common folk.
What was the federal crime?
Can you imagine if Grimes got put on trial for a felony charge and the prosecution just pulls up this video as evidence lmfao
The world is in a bad state and these people are in charge wake up!
Sounds in character for her lol
But it was 10 years ago, she can’t be prosecuted for those charges anymore [legal people can correct me if i am wrong]
@@endlessgalaxy2675 yea i don't think you can be prosecuted for past stuff it's on the bill of amendments
Depends on the crime.
" All art should be free" outside of the 6 million I made of NFTs,
She’s a deliberate paradox… so grotesque to artists without privilege but I’m sure she seems so fun to other billionaires.
The world is in a bad state and these people are in charge wake up!
artists need to be paid, and we have access to seeing all her art for free anyway
If you want to feel like you own it, then you can buy the NFT, or you can simply screenshot the JPG... she clearly knows this like everyone else does. Artists gotta get paid.
@@ScottThePisces Totally. What don't people understand about this? I think it's mostly kids who don't know wtf they're talking about.
i will never not be hyper fixated on this woman’s art and overall persona, she’s so unapologetically unique :’)
I love her too but I dunno about unique, there's tons of geek and fantasy people that are into/ make the same art as her. Sometimes she even buys art or collabs with them.
her past made she be so uniq
same
me when i use words
Pretty easy to be unique when money is not a problem. Stop putting celebrities on a pedestal.
I am so disappointed that she didnt react to the picture of her and katy perry and rihanna 💀
Omg same wtf. That would’ve been so iconic 😭😭😭
😆😆😆
I was thinking of that exact same picture the entire time omggggg
ikr 🤣
The world is in a bad state and these people are in charge wake up!
She's a mass of contradictions. Yet, Grimes is remarkably down to earth too. I can't help but to like her. Her life must be exhausting though. It seems like there's always something going on.
like what besides nfts?
Does she actually know what nft means, she always contradicts herself. I swear she says something then forgets straight away. ADHD vibes or something chaotic man
the nft thing made me lose all respect for her.
shes so fake
I've heard that she's been heavily into drugs for many years now (except for during her pregnancy, of course). That's what Popbitch said, and they've never been wrong about anything they've said about various celebrities down through the years. Drugs (most likely stimulants, like amphetamine) would explain Grimes' chaotic, frenetic and erratic personality. Talking a million miles a minute is synonymous with speed use.
I have a feeling that Grimes doesn't understand the meaning of getting *cancelled* ...
The world is in a bad state and these people are in charge please wake up!
She's not wrong - cancel culture is ridiculous and never cancels those who deserve it.
@@AmberTurdsShittyBedsheet - cancel culture been around for decades. Conservatives cancelled the Dixie Chicks for simply having an opinion about a president. Welcome to the world of hypocrisy.
Haha yessss
@@cfcreative1 how?
I feel like she has a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to be ‘canceled’.
as someone who has been following her since "Vanessa" its crazy too see how far she has come, I'm so proud of her!
!!!!
LITERALLY. I always hate to be that hipster but honestly. Knew her before everyone else did lmao
grimes: "i believe in sustainable energy" also grimes: "I'm a very pro nft, pro blockchain person" i love her but this really doesnt add up
I don't think she puts much thought into her opinions. I remember something about her being a communist but also supporting capitalism once she got with Musk...
@H blockchains and therefore nfts are terrible for the environment. they have a huge carbon footprint
Right and like “i like Tesla bc it’s sustainable” honey just gloss over that whole rare earth mineral child soldiers thing ok
life doesn’t add up. Lol. She’s not perfect.
@@nameless.faceless. lmao "life doesnt add up". what kind of an argument is that? ofc shes not perfect but shes an adult capable of thinking for herself. also she has a certain responsibility seeing as shes a celebrity with a loyal fan following so the least she could do is do a little research before announcing to the world that she supports a certain cause. at the end of the day she has every right to say whatever she wants but its also well within my right to be disappointed in her and voice that.
Y’all can have your opinions but I highly respect her just being so comfortable being herself. You can’t help but just accept her for who she is bc she puts it all out there.
She seems so carefree, casually talking about some shady things she's done like it's so cute and quirky, and people seem to buy her narrative.
You act like she just went and did it unprovoked. When you mess with people some will push back. I know I certainly would.
i kinda hate the "cute and quirky" label on her LMAO
@@hannahlennertkristiansen4797 grimes doesn’t even like the cute and quirky label.
@@chezzag7427 exactly
...do you know something we don't? Lol
> wearing a tesla necklace to "promote" "sustainable" energy > nft drop pick a side.
@@lynnshae5800 Teslas aren't environmentally friendly, it takes thousands of gallons of water to mine lithium for their batteries. She commented on the environmental downsides to NFTS and moved on quickly. I'm just commenting on how it's so transparent how she "cares" about the environment when we all know that celebrities are the most self-interested people on this planet and their environmental activism is completely performative. She also likes to pretend that she's this inspiring "rags to riches" story when she grew up in one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in Vancouver. I was a fan of hers since the beginning, but ever since the Met Gala I feel like she just tries to appeal to the rich, snobby, crypto-techbros now.
She’s not a brand, she’s a force for light and creativity, and multiple expressions of art & art forms. It’s not chaos it’s just spherical order. This woman does not have the constraints of an ultra linear mindset mode.
yes but her music isnt good
@@sharondanya as if your pathetic opinion was important lmao
She has some bops.😊
@@sharondanya ALL HER MUSIC ARE MASTERPIECES.... you just have to have the consciousness....
Mate, looks like you don’t have the constraints of common sense and reason.
She contradicts herself a lot. Love her aesthetic tho.
The world is in a bad state and these people are in charge wake up!
I find that people who are completely themselves often contradict themselves because they don't think it through but say what they feel at the moment if that makes sense
humans are inherently very complex and multifaceted. we don't make sense all the time
“I dont want to make my child famous” Proceeds to give him the name of a cheat code in GTA
It’s not the kids real name y’all r so gullible lmao
@@malicemizersupremacy1645 its the same effect isnt it? Lets call it a media stunt then. My point still stands then. I never said anything about if the name is real
@@larajanesen8795 it was to protect the kids real name I think lol, but it’s not rlly important . I doubt it was a media stunt, I viewed it as a joke but who knows
"I believe in sustainable energy." "I'm a pro-blockchain person." okay
She was Elon Musk's girlfriend while making photoshoots with the communist manifesto, what did you expect ... She makes 0 sense
Blockchain takes up massive amounts of energy but are you saying they shouldn’t move to make the source of that energy to be sustainable? Nothing is perfect in its initial execution. I believe in eating healthy but can also eat a pint of ice cream.
fact. she's a legit moron.
Actually she's harmless, it's meaningless.
the only reason blockchains are unsustainable is because of fossil fuels... so if we had sustainable energy the environmental impact wouldn't be as big an issues. come on it's not that hard to understand.
Yo jay z picking out tracks for art angels is mind blowing. Respect!
She’s like the actual depiction of a Pisces Devine Feminine being able to live their true artistic and spiritual self. It’s very inspiring
Grimes. Real, unscripted, relaxed, nonchalant and 100% chill during the entire interview. Grimes and BP seem give the most genuine and unscripted interviews. Many seem like robots or parrots with a rehearsed script. It is refreshing to find someone just being themselves in the industry, and having a fun dialogue without pushing politics or other "woke" bs. "Shinigami Eyes" my favorite video and song. The first time I heard it, I had it on repeat for over an hour. The music, tempo, stage, wardrobe, her voice, everything is absolutely perfect, imo.
BP?

I love her chaotic realness. she seems like an interesting artful soul who's happy doing her own thing, a rare find nowadays.
ddosing isnt "hacker". there was a program back in the day where all you had to do was put in the website address and then click a button and it would do it for you. nothing "hacker" about it.
her brother seems absolutely a gem, what a great team, truly such a gift to have supportive family
the fact that she made cookies to "pay" her friends for helping her with the first video and song it's so cute, we need more friends like here
I just find her entertaining even though what she's talking about isn't important..
literally, she could be talking about NOTHING for two hours straight and i still would be listening to her like 👁👄👁
Important? Its vanity fair💀
It’s vanity fair

She was based in Montreal at that time, so I don't think it would apply since she wasn't on US soil
Canada has the exact same law concerning ddos, and it was on the books at the time.
She seems like a nice person and I appreciate her as an artist, but her opinions on sustainability and nft's are absolutely off-base

I mean, you didn't really get canceled, if you're doing this interview and still have a career.
This isn’t buzzfeed
Lots of people get “canceled” and end up back on top like nothing ever happened…like all the time.
@@Primseygirl101 then its not really getting canceled is it? lol.
@@EricMichaelLP its pretty close, they probably cycle through the same writers lets be honest.
Celebs love talking ab being "cancelled" like its some trendy sht. Because they can't stand to be criticized or to realize not everyone of us is gonna oblige to them like their friend groups. An artist would know best, not to act so "pick me".
My favorite artist of all time❤ So talented. Creative and original. Keep doing what your doing.
Her interviews are always a trip lol she seems like so much fun
Wait, did she say she believes art should be free while talking about the NFTs she sold that netted her millions?
Yeah, that whole part was weird. I think she meant "free" as in that its digital and has a value in the crypto-world. I'm not into NFTs, but I did look into it. In some ways, it was like a revival of art on a digital renaissance sort of level- lots of good and lots of bad art, AI art, and lots of art programs designed to make NFTs for avatars. On a digital art scale, artwork that wouldn't sell suddenly had this incentive that cryptocurrency put behind it. Everyone into it felt like they needed to collect them. In that way, sure, it had some freedom to it. Unfortunately, its the materialism behind the crypto/NFT culture that makes just okay artwork done by a celebrity worth millions of dollars in crypto. The only people that really bank off of any of it are celebrities. I think it'll all die down soon. Maybe people will learn to paint again. lol
*supports sustainable energy*…*creates nfts for sale despite knowing how much energy they waste*
The world has big problems and these people are in charge please wake up.
Love you Grimes, you rock. and are super talented. I highly doubt anything you have done was a fail.
ok i just found out she and elon just welcomed a daughter and named her exa, when grimes' first choice was to name her odysseus. WHY DIDNT THEY NAME HER ODYSSEUS. its so much better than exa!
Elon didn't want to name her that so they came up with a name they both wanted.
Odysseus sounds masculine. I think exa is probably better between the two
You’ll learn when you become a parent, when you pick a name that feels right to both of you, it’ll fit with the person the kid is. Just the intuition of being the one(s) that created them
"it's so much better than exa" - err maybe in your opinion. imagine telling someone how they should name their baby - weird flex.
Odysseus was such a womaniser though, he really wasn’t a great guy 😅
This was good. Thanks! Claire Boucher, Grimes, and her Art Angels have spent some good times in my head with me. Feeling things.
Grimes really likes the word 'cancelled' huh? Uses it interchangably with 'people did not like when'
that's literally what it is tho
