"When I listen to my favourite artists, they make me feel like I can be who I truly wanna be" I love that she said this because that is how I feel about her

[@AllisonHagendorf]

So wonderful!

[@Kenyas]

Such a great Interview. Willow is just a light of healthy energy and we need more of her out here. Will be sharing! Thanks for having her 😩

[@AllisonHagendorf]

Thank you for tuning in and I couldn't agree more. WILLOW is a bright light!

[@flowergirl9785]

I’m 60 and she resonates. ❤

[@ebonyg6827]

Ditto. I'm 63 and love music with roots and routes to human emotions

[@nebbyking7187]

Me too.

[@shayburton4104]

This was such a great interview. I love the part where she says she wouldn’t change a thing- even tho that’s not initially what she wanted to do. Because everything in life builds character and allows us opportunities for a moment of reflection

[@AllisonHagendorf]

I love that part too! Thank you so much for your feedback ❤️

[@sarrystylesofficial]

She’s so talented, I’m so grateful that she’s making music

[@AllisonHagendorf]

I’m so with you!

[@Goodvibesonly473]

A true pure artist who’s going to go very far …

[@AllisonHagendorf]

❤️🙏🏼

[@freestyleee]

Aw I love her hair and vibe here

[@morsmercede]

I just want to say that today I became a real WILLOW fan, bc of this interview I listened to Coping Mechanism and literally just felt happy the whole time, even the sad bits, it was just so good ⚡️🪩 Im listening to the first record now and am so pleasantly surprised to hear how creative and experimental it sounded after hearing the more minimal (but not worse in any way) band oriented work on Coping Mechanism. Alli’s got good taste 🤘😆

[@AllisonHagendorf]

This makes me so happy and is why I do what I do. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with me!

[@iamchannellingjoy]

Such lovely energy!! Grateful the world has her 🌱☀️

[@AllisonHagendorf]

I couldn’t agree more! Thanks for watching!

[@n1b1ruu]

i’ve admired her since the start being we are close in age and the same generation & I am always inspired by every stage & level she has expressed herself. I’ll forever support her and her growth and her energy in this world. love her & im proud of her.

[@AllisonHagendorf]

I’m with you ❤️

[@FoxiFarrington]

[@angelaclark2108]

Great interview, i've been deep into her music for the past few months now and I am so impressed with her talent and vibe She is wise beyond her years and it comes through in her music. She is highly underrated, more people need to know her music. I can't wait to see her live and i'm in the 50 + crew!

[@phoenixmcandrewmusic]

It would have been so easy for Willow to just be a singer who doesn’t have much say in the rest of the process. It’s so clear her drive to make something cool in the music 💜

[@AllisonHagendorf]

💜💜💜

She's not just talking about working hard, listen to her new shit and she's easily one of the strongest pop vocalists of her generation & her comfort on stage now, she left me no choice but to root for her

WILLOW should work with Meet me @ the Altar & Cho Zsyn. They're both on Fueled By Ramen.

[@AllisonHagendorf]

I love Meet Me @ The Altar ❤️

[@genboyer]

Aloha Allison, so I just finished watching your interview with Willow Smith...Wow, what an eye opener...I had no idea she was singer, musician & Rocker!! No wonder Paulina Villarreal would like to collaborate with her. That would be...I hate using this word...awesome...a collab with The Warning? The life energy of those 4 women would change planetary orbits! H0ly Sh!t!

[@sophielily2015]

Willlow ure such an impressive young person 🥹!!

[@TimeTravelerBrandon]

[@maca8778]

Willow is so freaking cool. Way to go young lady!

[@AllisonHagendorf]

She truly is!

[@jamesboddie4204]

That is awesome singing well done.

[@michaelnieves6632]

Willow is a diamond. She was born and raised by the industry. Willow Smith is a product of the music industry. Diamond Crusader!

[@Daoutlett]

[@Relaxbadkneeadventures]

I don’t like many american music but willow damned she is a super star👍😉🇳🇱

[@jc329]

I just began watching the interview, but started too late to keep watching before going to sleep. What are the blue dots? I'll finish watching soon, but felt compelled to find out about the small blue circles.

[@beverlyledbetter4906]

She's got such pretty skin. The color and evenness... great!👍

[@crybabygbc1026]

She is so damn beautiful and I'm not really into black girls just keeping it real but she is just something else I just can't explain. She seems like a dope person as well and her music is dope

Please don’t call her gen z icon 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@Metangel3]

She is gen z? And an icon? Respect your youth as much as your elders.

[@pescadaro1814]

She’s thankfully 95% Will. They’re very alike. The mother is a sinister character. She has more of the Father’s personality- open and likeable.

[@Kenyas]

Willoowww!🤎🤟🏾 I'll be here

[@AllisonHagendorf]

Glad to hear it!

[@manxhcxmanxhcx770]

Willow 💛

[@kmix7928]

What a joke 🙄

[@kathykatherine874]

I actually watched Judas red table 👄 🦜 talk. Willow has a really nice singing voice. I think it came generically from Will Smith. Some celebrities pass on talent gifts to their offsping.So sorry Jada didn't have any good talents to pass on to Willow. 😊

[@damita4336]

Jada had her own rock band called Wicked Wisdom...huh... have you really been following them...

[@flowergirl9785]

Genetics ❤

[@damita4336]

Jada had an alternative band before her daughter.. Wicked Wisdom..... Willow gives her credit often

[@ZonniqueMaxwell]

Jada has an AMAZING voice!
