many countries have you been to I think
it was like 15 countries since January
so it's pretty nice what countries fans

obviously playing the shows what was the
worst part about touring oh my god jet
lag I'm speaking of would you like some
coffee yeah let's do it

mean if we were in Australia and I had
some huge fancy coffee machine I would
make you a flat white but all we have is
things so I will give you this all right

much like to be a friend please that's
sweet yeah thank you

missing Australia at the moment oh my
god I miss it all the time always so
much what is Australia better at than
America coffee hmm you may be right
mm-hmm what is America better at than
Australia um I mean this California
weather is hard to be what's one thing
Americans say that you love the most I
love all the little names you guys have
for your snacks and things um Ding Dongs
Ho Hos Twinkies corn dogs that stuff
really cracks me up what's one thing
Australians say that you love the most
I like how inoffensive it is to swear in
Australia it's like it's no biggie
I'm gonna ask the question everyone
wanted me to ask you oh okay
what do you bleaching your hair next oh
my god never ever no maybe one take but
for now it fried my hair so I'm trying
to I'm trying to stay away from that all
right well this is a beautiful home
thank you I wish I could say this is my
place it's my managers house yeah but I
actually did live here for like six
months when I first moved to LA nice and
uh how easy or difficult
is it to write music at this point in
your life ooh uh you're gonna have to
ask me that question in like two weeks
cuz I'm about to start writing what song
of yours has been the most challenging
to write the good side do you always
feel like you have something to say I
don't and that's why I don't always say
stuff I kind of keep my mouth shut from
Nash how's it going that's great in a
number of our songs though the lyrics
are very personal
um yeah do you ever get emotional when
performing them on stage I do but um the
thing that makes me emotion was like
seeing people sing the songs back at me
and kind of feeling their experiences
through the song hmm if you were stuck
on an island with only one of your songs
what song would it be okay I don't know
me it would be easy
first Nash now we have Jacobs cameos
here yeah now you guys have been
together for three years
yes what was your first impression of
Troy my first impression of Troy was
that he was confident and very sweet and
pretty chill thank you was a first
impression of Jacob I would say my first
impression tall honestly was like the
first thing but then but then sweet and
lovely and kind of things
no please answering the following
questions at the same exact time okay
ready yeah
who's more high maintenance which I can
man who's a better dancer yeah I don't
feel like either of us it's definitely I
wouldn't say I'm a good dancer
I can maybe like wiggle around a little
bit it's you who does Nash love more
maybe not I mean 100 percent mean
because I feed him is dinner all the
time and look he's sitting like okay it
was each of yours
celebrity crush Shawn Mendes and Harry
Styles okay so what's up with these
candles okay so these candles I'm like
testing out some sense in things mm-hmm
for a little project mmm does this smell
through floral your ever smells like a
cloud in heaven thank you um nice
another little project can I give me a
hand for a sec I am yes oh man I want to
put a little bit of this white nail
polish on yeah that's fine so Troy I
love your performance and boy raced it
was great what made you decide to take a
role like that um for me it was you know
I read the screen
and was just like blown away and the
message and also the cast I was like
this is gonna be a movie that actually
really means something that's gonna be
made well yeah and you said it was such
a difficult experience um yeah I mean it
was it was terrifying kind of you know
intimidating and I feel like I left
though a much more empathetic person you
know I I really kind of just I learned a
lot about the issue and about the people
with the issue effects and yeah alright
let's see how this looks I think this is
look for me it's kind of terrible I'm
sorry I didn't say I was anything but I
think you look really pretty thank you
no worries all right what single event
has impacted you the most in life
probably coming out hmm you did it on
YouTube I did do it how did you know
when it was a right moment to do that um
you know I just got to this place where
I was like so gay in my personal life
and really proud of it and I was like
you know what I want to share this with
the whole world
but you recently said you felt
uncomfortable being called a gay icon mm
why is that well I just from experience
have seen that the LGBTQ community is so
unbelievably diverse and looks like so
many people that um to kind of be picked
as like one of the faces of the
community it just made me really
uncomfortable
um don't weird and scary like your mom
organized a huge petition to abolish the
gay panic law can you tell me a little
bit about that yes in Australia there
was this really old law called gay panic
where if somebody murdered someone but
then they were like oh no they were
coming on to me and I got so scared I'm
not gay I got so scared that I killed
them their sentence could get downgraded
and my mum heard about it and was like
this is absolutely ludicrous and put
together a really big online petition
and helped get it abolished that's
incredible
yeah do you think growing up with
YouTube and sharing your personality and
identity with the Internet has prepared
you for Fame I think so to a certain
extent but at the same time like nothing
in this world could prepare me for Vogue
and you like knocking on my front door
so I don't think I'm ever gonna get used
to this I can't come here for
compliments alright what do you think of
when you watch videos of yourself at
such a young age oh my god I change so
hard and wonder why I did the things
that I did what's the craziest a funnies
a rumor
you've ever heard about yourself mmm one
time I heard that I'm actually like
secretly straight and I don't fully
understand like what my motive would be
for doing that like is it am I trying to
pick up girls is like a gay man or I
don't I really don't get it you're
outside Carrie all right so what's your
best beauty hack um don't wash your hair
too often it dries it out and you don't
need to
what's the boldest outfit that you've
ever worn probably a green suit like a
full green suit and what's your go-to
look on an off day
probably this like you know if you could
find a really good white tee and really
good jeans um you know your way how do
you think your style has progressed over
the years oh I am so much more confident
in the way that I dress now and when
you're choosing a look what is the first
thing that you're drawn to probably
practicality um yeah just like kind of
understated and cool while still being
stylish
what are you binge watching at the
moment oh I just finished watching
jailbirds on Netflix it's so good right
what is the best thing that you've seen
in the past five years I'm the favorite
what's the most rewarding experience
that you've ever had in your life
um I think it's probably getting to work
with all the LGBTQ organizations that I
work race what Finn interactions to
light you the most the ones where when
you're squeezing and hugging them you
can feel there's some some stuff going
on in their lives and you kind of get to
have this moment where everything feels
a little bit better for a second nice
why do you have a bathtub in your
backyard why do you not have a bathtub
in your backyard I don't know I'm asking
you this is like the single most
relaxing place in the entire world if
you ever just want to cool out get naked
getting a bubble bath outdoors it's
amazing all right what's Ariana Grande
like in person
ah I mean she is like even more
charismatic funny and sweet then you can
possibly imagine what the Taylor Swift
me to you growing up I mean I think I'm
mostly inspired by her songwriting I
think that she's such a badass
songwriter and that was really inspiring
to me can you break your top three
Taylor Swift songs yes
delicate blank space and you're in love
what's the first person to hear your
lyrics when you write them my co-writers
all my boyfriend who's the most
intimidating person ever
probably rufus wainwright I am a huge
fan and we wrote a son once and it was
scary okay tell me do you have to be in
love to write a love song or sad to
write a sad song I think you have to be
in love to write a good love song but I
don't think have to be sad to write a
good sad song do you ever get starstruck
I do I was fast backed by you time to go
to Troy seriously come on what's your
favorite book punky um I just finished
this book called a little life that
absolutely tore my heart out of my chest
what's your favorite cocktail um a dirty
martini like extra dirty ice yeah
acting versus music which one do you
find more challenging a Kingfisher would
you ever consider one over the other
no what's up a role would be a dream
role for you um probably something
dramatic and kind of a little media than
anything I've done in the past
can you name an actor whose choices and
roles you admire today
Lucas hedges would you rather perform in
front of a 300 person show or 30,000
person show um 30,000 what's your
favorite song to cover uh love is a
losing game by Amy Winehouse I love that
song so much who's an artist everyone

yourself to someone who's never heard of
you
Stinney white day kidded no I don't know

the social media all the time I put my
phone down and like leave it at home all
the time if you ever felt it affected
your mental health negatively the show
