Am I the only one who noticed she switched from English accent to Icelandic accent? Lmao

[@JunkBondTrader]

haha nah, she definitely went through accent phases. It seems like she consciously changed her accent over the years. She sounds pretty English here. In other videos she has a very heavy English accent, for a handful of years after her initial big success. Then eventually she slowly went back to sounding Icelandic. It might also change depending on who she's talking too, which isn't uncommon for some bilingual speakers. Seems like something Bjork would do, so obsessed with aesthetic.

[@Mrhostil95]

@@JunkBondTrader I know but I meant on the spot. Like she instantly changed it halfway through the interview

[@Marie-vg5og]

I noticed her switch to Icelandic when she spoke about her mother & grandmother. I've heard it can be hard for bilingual people to discuss a memory or story in their new language/accent. Sort of like the brain processed it one way, and that's the way it naturally comes back out.

[@jubalcalif9100]
