14 - Troye Sivan
Karen Smith
Hello Troye, babe! I have been looking forward to seeing you again. How are you doing, babe?
Troye Sivan
Hi Karen! I've missed you, it's been a while. I'm pretty good, no complaints! How are you today?
Karen Smith
I am fabulous, Troye! Thank you.
Troye Sivan
Yes, you’re definitely fabulous!
Karen Smith
Someone has to be, so thank you. Our readers have some exciting questions for you today. Are you ready for them?
Troye Sivan
Will I ever truly be? Yes, let’s do it!
Karen Smith
First question then, babe! If you're from Africa, why are you white?
Troye Sivan
Ah, how long has it been since you first asked me this? Anyway, you can't just ask people why they're white, especially if I didn't have a choice in the matter!
Karen Smith
Second question, then! If you’re from Africa, why are you white?
Troye Sivan
Iconic. Yes, I do have a new single out! Thank you for asking. It's titled 'Make Me Feel' and I'm really happy with it! Plus, I've got one of closest friends, Kesha, featured on the song; I feel like it's all perfect.
Karen Smith
Aw, that's awesome. Actually, I wonder why she's white too, to be honest…
Troye Sivan
That's a very fair question! I'll make sure to ask her when I see her soon.
Karen Smith
Anyway babe, tell me; if you're from Africa, why are you white?
Troye Sivan
Oh, you're sweet, thank you! I'm glad you like the song. You're correct, I am releasing a new album! I can tell you a little about it right now, actually! The album is titled 'afterdance' and it's coming this Thursday, April 19th!
Karen Smith
Oh, that's lovely. I hope you have a song dedicated to me, babe!
Troye Sivan
How can I not? You've always been one of the most prominent figures in my career. I'd never forget you.
Karen Smith
Next question; if you're from Africa, why are you white?
Troye Sivan
Well, if you must ask, yes, I can tell you more about it! The album is very inspired by the 80s and disco music, it's an era that has always been one of my favourites, the music was just so great. the album is just fun, and I hope everyone who listens just gets a little bit more of joy in their life!
Karen Smith
That's nice babe. So… if you're from Africa, why are you white?
Troye Sivan
Am I shook at the competition? Yes; don't even have to think about it. Everyone is pulling their best game this time around! Kesha is finally putting in some effort and getting herself the #1s she's so desperately wanted; P!nk came back from the dead to steal everyone's spotlight; and who knows where Perrie Edwards came from? But, she's also doing great. Good for all of them, really, I guess.
Though there's some others I don't really fear at this point; both Xtina and Rihanna had a cute start but where are they now? It's like they got drunk and forgot they had music out. I wouldn't want to relate.
Karen Smith
Oh wow, let it all out babe! You should also tell me why you're white if you're from Africa?
Troye Sivan
How do I deal with hate? I don't, really. I mostly just try to not engage; that only feeds them. Look at Rihanna; like I don't get why she's so obsessed with me. One day, we were best of friends and the other day she's rooting for everyone to block my new music. Desperation is definitely not a good look for her! But, while she's babbling on about me, I'm just here wanting to release music! You wouldn't think so, but being male and gay in this industry is tough, but we're pulling through! Twink shaming must stop!
Karen Smith
Wow, you definitely have a unique way of answering these questions, babe. Shall we play a game?
Troye Sivan
Why, thank you. I try not to be boring! And yes, of course, I'd love to.
Karen Smith
It's called ‘Truth or Truth’. Billboard tell me that I need to ask you two questions, and you need to pick one of them and answer truthfully. Do you understand, babe? I'm a little confused myself…
Troye Sivan
I can do that, yes! I’m white and from Africa.
Karen Smith
Round One Question 1: If you're from Africa, why are you white? Question 2: Do you support immigrants and why?
Troye Sivan
Well, I did not expect that question at all! But, yes? In the end why does it matter where you're from and where you are? We love everyone! Or, mostly!
Karen Smith
Round Two Question 1: Do you support the legalization of marijuana and why? Question 2: If you're from Africa, why are you white?
Troye Sivan
Oh, yes, definitely! It keeps Kesha and half of the other artists distracted enough that I can maybe slide a number-one album this week! Plus, it's pretty fun, isn't it?
Karen Smith
Round Three Question 1: If you're from Africa, why are you white? Question 2: If you had to be in a human centipede, whom would you be with and what would be the order?
Troye Sivan
Karen babe, where did you get these questions from? I'm very worried. But um, put me first, then maybe Shawn since he lives for anything I pull out of my ass. Then Adam because he's the lesser male! Oh, and Katy after, just because I can.
Karen Smith
Babe, they come from an app on Katy's phone!
Troye Sivan
Ah, that explains absolutely everything! I'd suggest you don't get too deep into Katy's phone, or anything related to her in any way? Just to be safe.
Karen Smith
Why babe? How deep have you been into Katy?
Troye Sivan
I wish to not relive those dark times, so I won't say much, but unfortunately, yes. I don't understand how Adam could last a whole relationship with her.
Karen Smith
Round Four Question 1: If you're from Africa, why are you white? Question 2: What's your biggest role-playing fantasy?
Troye Sivan
Why? Would Katy want to know? Well, I think it'd be pretending to be straight; I imagine it must be quite the sexual experience.
Karen Smith
Round Five Question 1: If you're from Africa, why are you white? Question 2: Who's the skinniest person you know?
Troye Sivan
Oh, I think Miss Lana. She's so skinny, you don't even see her charting!
Karen Smith
Round Six Question 1: If you had two bullets and you had to pick between Trump, Putin, Merkel and one of your fellow artists, whom would you shoot twice? Question 2: If you're from Africa, why are you white?
Troye Sivan
I can't condone guns or murder! But line them all up, shoot once and kill them all; quick and easy! And for the other bullet, just pick anyone from the Wine Squad, they wouldn't even notice. Or, in the end, just shoot Trump twice; why not?
Karen Smith
Round Seven Question 1: If you're from Africa, why are you white? Question 2: If you had to masturbate to one of your fellow artists' nude pictures, who would it be?
Troye Sivan
Oh, that's actually a tame question! Let me choose Adam; his nudes are quite easy to find, though weirdly enough, I do prefer him clothed. And, also Perrie! I've expressed my feeling about her already and I still stand by that; Gorgeous queen!
Karen Smith
Final Round Question 1: Have you ever wet the bed from drinking too much? If so, explain what happened. Question 2: If you're from Africa, why are you white?
Troye Sivan
What did this interview turn into? I'm so confused. But, among the many embarrassing things in my life, that actually isn't one of them! Sorry to disappoint.
Karen Smith
You gave me so many great answers Troye, babe! I didn't even know what most of those questions meant.
Troye Sivan
I'm so hungry, I don't even remember half of the things I answered! But, you're welcome, sweetie.
Karen Smith
I have one final question for you; if you're from Africa, why the fuck are you white?
Troye Sivan
Oh, you shouldn't even have to ask that! Yes, everyone should buy music right this second!
Karen Smith
Thank you so much for this interview, Troye. I wish you a lot of luck, and hope you can go back to Africa very soon! Bye, babe.
Troye Sivan
Thank you for having me! It’s about time we had an actual interview. Whenever I go back to Africa, I'll update you, yes!
