On her recurring dream of her husband cheating on her at a festive gathering, which she tackles on \u201cHoliday Party\u201d:<\/p>\n
\u201cI always think Matt\u2019s going to leave me for some coolio indie songwriter that he works with.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich is so insane,\u201d Matthew Koma quipped in the interview, easing her fears. \u201cBut also very real. Those are real things to get hung up on emotionally.\u201d<\/p>\n
On her rocky relationship with her dad, as referenced on \u201cThe Optimist\u201d:<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s times where I talk to my dad and times where I don\u2019t talk to my dad. I do have a pretty sunny disposition, but a lot of s\u2013t has gone down, and that\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n
On \u201cWe Don\u2019t Talk,\u201d speculated to be about her rift with sister Haylie Duff<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cI feel almost like when I got divorced [in 2015], where I dealt with it privately, and then the news comes out and you\u2019re like, \u2018OK, great. I\u2019m going to deal with this all over again.\u2019 I was prepared, a little bit. I made a choice to put that song on my record. That\u2019s definitely the most lonely part of my life, and I struggled with, \u2018Am I going to share this?\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cPeople have known my life since I was a child, and so they know all the characters in it and they know what I\u2019m talking about. For me, it was important to be open about that theme. It genuinely came from the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n On speculation that the couch she performed the song on during her tour was an Easter egg to a previous video:<\/p>\n \u201cI was not, however, prepared for people to be like, \u2018The couch is the color of the couch\u2026\u2019 That is absolute bulls\u2013t, and totally not true and crazy. And I don\u2019t have the time to make threads for people to catch on to about that. I have a full life and a busy family, and this was literally just a song about my truth, and that was it.\u201d <\/p>\n Click through to see what else she said\u2026<\/p>\n \u00ab First<\/a>\u00ab Previous <\/a>Continue \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On her recurring dream of her husband cheating on her at a festive gathering, which she tackles on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292528,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-292527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=292527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
