"Emily! So wonderful to see you again, even if it's over a video call!"

"Jimmy, it's been so long," Emily laughed, a grin on her face as she sat in her kitchen, doing an online interview with Jimmy Fallon that was being live-streamed to everyone watching.

"How have you been, dealing with lockdown and everything?" Jimmy asked as Emily smiled.

"It's been strange," Emily said, chuckling, "I mean, I can't go out and buy a pint of milk without someone screaming at me but other than that, it's not bad."

"And a huge congratulations on your album," Jimmy said as Emily smiled. "Did you know, it sold a billion copies in the first week, how do you find that?"

"It's insane," Emily said chuckling, "this album for me was incredibly vulnerable and very scary to put out there for everyone to see and the support and love I've had from it has been unreal. I was expecting nobody to listen to it, so the fact that a billion people bought a copy within the first week is insane."

"You should be incredibly proud," Jimmy said as the brunette nodded. "If you don't mind me asking, who is it about?"

"My ex-boyfriend, Charles," Emily said, "we had a relationship that he wanted to keep hidden from the public eye for a year, and when the truth came out about it, everyone hated me and said I was the problem so this album for me is showing my side and saying that if people want me to play the villain then I will. This album isn't to cause hate to anyone involved and I would never want any hate sent to anybody involved in the situation via my fans, friends or anyone close to me."

"I'm terribly sorry to hear about that situation," Jimmy said as Emily shrugged.

"It happens," she said chuckling as Jimmy smiled. Before either of them could speak, Max walked past Emily's camera, coming into view.

"Who was that?" Jimmy laughed as Emily furrowed her eyebrows and turned around before laughing. 

"Oh for god sakes," she laughed, seeing Max standing there with an awkward grin as he had a can of RedBull in his hand. "What are you doing?" she laughed.

"I was thirsty," he said as Emily laughed. 

"Is that, Max Verstappen?" Jimmy asked as Emily turned around and laughed. 

"It is," she said as Max walked over and waved. "He and George are staying with me in lockdown."

"Well Max, do you mind if we have a chat with you, while you're here?" Jimmy asked as Max grinned and pulled up a chair as Emily moved up.

"Hi Jimmy," Max said smiling as Emily laughed. 

"Hi Max," Jimmy said, laughing. "How is it, living with Emily and George?"

"Emily's incredibly tidy," Max said, "so that's nice and she ordered some RedBull cans for me which was nice. George is actually really tidy as well and it's been great." Emily smiled as she shrugged.

"So, what do you think of the new album?"

"Oh I love it," Max said, "I think they're beautifully written and they tell her story in a non-agressive way."

"Do you have a favourite song or a favourite line?" Max beamed.

"True Story," he said with no hesitation as Emily looked at him. "My favourite line is I'll play the bad girl if you need me to, if it makes you feel better. I don't know why, but it's just basically telling the haters to fuck off and if you want to see her as the bad person then go for it but this is the true story." Emily smiled as she looked at Max.

"I thought you didn't like that one?" she asked as he shook his head.

"No, that was George," he said, "his favourite was um, Reckless I think he said."

"Oh yeah, I remember now," Emily said with a smile as she turned back to Jimmy.

"So, do you have any plans for a tour?" Jimmy asked as Emily nodded.

"Yes!" she said with a grin, "I had one planned for later this year, but I've postponed it to next year so hopefully, all being well, I'll be on tour early next year."

"Are you planning on going Max?" Jimmy asked as Max grinned.

"If I can then I'll be there," he said as Emily smiled.
