-I want to start off by addressing
a couple rumors that I've heard. -Uh-oh.
-Okay? They're all good. -All right.
-First rumor -- you've been working on new music.
-This is true. -Really?
-Yes. [ Cheers and applause ]
-'Cause I love your stuff. -Thank you so much.
Yes, I've been working -- I've been working
on a lot of music for a long time,
and my fans are very aware of that.
And they've been so patient, which I'm so thankful for
because I've had some really wonderful opportunities
that have kind of taken me away from the music
for periods of time.
But I can say that early next year,
new music will be out.
-Early next year. All right. Good.
Good, good, good. I love that.
Second rumor. -Yes.
-Is it true that you set up Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas?
-No. Are they saying that?
I will totally take credit for that if they're saying it.
-Yeah. No, that's what I heard. -Really?
-I heard you set them up.
-I definitely got the, like, "Tell me about Joe Jonas" call.
-Oh, really? -Sophie and I -- Yeah.
Sophie and I have been friends for years.
She's one of my favorite humans. And Joe, same.
Joe and I worked together a couple years ago,
and he is also a wonderful person.
-Yeah. -And it worked, so...
Yeah, I'll take credit for that. Sure.
-Yeah -- Yeah. So she just called you up and said,
"Hey, I'm dating Joe Jonas." -Well, no.
She called me, and she was like -- This is --
I don't remember when, but she called and said --
Because she knew that I knew him
and sort of asked for my opinion.
-Yeah. -I gave her the truth.
I won't tell -- I won't say everything I said to her.
-Yeah, yeah. All right. Good.
-No, I gave her my stamp of approval.
-And now they're married. -And now they're married.
-Yeah, that's fantastic. -Yeah.
-See? All right, good. You helped her out.
All right. Good. Now let's talk "Dickinson."
-Yes. -Emily Dickinson.
This is on Apple TV+. This is the debut of Apple TV+.
-Yes, it is. -November 1st.
-November 1st, this show -- -It's the whole thing.
It's brand-new. It's changing the game.
-The whole thing is coming. I know. I'm very excited.
It's been so wonderful to see it all sort of come together,
and it's actually, finally, happening.
-How is it working with Apple? Do you like that?
-Oh, yeah. It's really incredible.
They are -- I mean, it's Apple.
-Yeah, I know. They're pretty big.
But can you -- Answer me this.
Is it like Netflix where, like --
Do you get all the episodes at once?
-So, in our case, you will be able to get all 10 episodes
of "Dickinson" on November 1st, when the platform launches.
Which is very exciting.
And it's, in my opinion, very easy to binge this show.
So I'm very excited about that. -It's binge-worthy. Yes.
-Very binge-worthy I think. -And you were at the big event
they had like, in Cupertino or whatever.
-Yes. Yeah. -With like --
It was you, it was, uh, Jennifer Aniston.
-Jennifer Aniston. -Oprah.
-Oprah was there. -Come on.
Look at the picture of you and Oprah.
-Photo evidence, people.
-Photo or didn't happen. Come on. How great?
[ Cheers and applause ]
I love -- I love Oprah. She just --
-I mean, yeah. She -- It was the most insane thing.
I had met her previously before
and, of course, saw her there. -Yeah.
-And debated, you know, of course, saying hello.
But then a million reasons not to do that came into my brain.
So I didn't.
But then, before I knew it,
Oprah sort of tapped me on the shoulder and said,
"Hailee, it's so great to see you."
And I forgot every word in the English language.
I had no idea what to do with my hands.
I was just -- Then she asked for a photo.
And I don't think I've ever looked happier
in a photo in my life. -You really are.
Yeah, you were having a great time there, yeah.
That's very good. -Oh, God.
-Let's talk about producing "Dickinson."
You're producing "Dickinson." -Yes, I am.
-Why? Why did you produce it? -Well -- Yeah.
This is my first time executive producing a project.
-Do you like doing it? -Yeah, I do.
It's a -- It's a -- It's a different process.
-Yeah. -But -- But really incredible
to be a part of something that I do care so much about
and so moved by --
just being a part of, you know,
certain decision-making processes
and seeing something really come together
from the beginning, middle, to the end.
-Were you a fan of Emily Dickinson before this?
-I knew of her poetry, having read some of it in high school,
but I didn't know much about her.
And I'm so thankful for this show
and having had the opportunity to play her,
because she truly is quite an interesting human,
and I think the world
will agree, hopefully, when they see the show.
-It's good. It's beautifully shot.
And, also, some good laughs in there, too.
-Yes. -And Wiz Khalifa.
-Wiz Khalifa's in the show. -How -- How did that happen?
-That's a great question. -Yeah.
-Well, so, Emily has --
You can pick this up after reading one poem.
She's got the most wild imagination.
She has this sort of fascination with death
and the idea of death.
And in our show, Wiz Khalifa plays the character of Death,
who Emily is, again, fascinated
and sort of in love with, in a sense.
And so we wanted basically the coolest person ever
to play this character and --
-Yeah, and I wasn't available. -With -- Well, right.
-And so -- -Well, we went --
-Thank you, yeah. -Yeah, no sure.
But that was Wiz. Second to you, so...
-And how was -- How was Wiz to work with?
-He was great. -I love him.
-He's wonderful. Best sense of humor.
Always -- Well, yeah. He's always laughing,
but I mean, I guess, we might know why?
-Yeah, usually when people are around him,
everyone's laughing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-He's always having a good time.
-It's great. I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Hailee Steinfeld in "Dickinson."
Take a look at this.
[ Knock on door ]
-Emily!
[ Knock on door ] Emily, wake up!
[ Knock on door ] -Ugh!
-You have to go fetch water.
-It is 4:00 in the morning, Lavinia. I'm writing.
-Mother says you have to. I did it yesterday.
-[ Sighs ] Why doesn't Austin do it?
-Austin is a boy.
