  • Crazy how far she's come in 2-3 years. Back in 2015, I saw her at a tiny venue in Michigan and got to hang out with her and all the opening acts after the show in the parking lot behind the venue-- like it was no big deal. She was super chill. Laughed at my joke, smoked my blunt, and kissed me on the cheek when she left.
