"I just always really liked this one and thought it suited my voice nicely," she said.
"I think it's just really catchy. It gets stuck in your head. It has a nice melody and nice guitar parts. I really like the jangliness of the guitars in this song. So I think that's what drew me to it."

Sydney Sweeney's jeans ad praised by Trump after actor is revealed to be a registered Republican
Donald Trump has thrown his support behind actor Sydney Sweeney and a controversial advertising campaign she features in, after learning she is a registered Republican voter. The 27-year-old Euphoria actor faced criticism for appearing in an ad campaign for clothing company American Eagle, with some critics accusing the brand of being "tone-deaf" and promoting eugenics theory. Shortly after, publicly available records surfaced that showed Sydney Sweeney had been registered as a voter affiliated with the Republican Party of Florida since June 6, 2024. The actor has not commented publicly on the advertisement or her party affiliation. "She's a registered Republican? Oh, now I love her ad!" Donald Trump told reporters when asked about the actor while boarding Air Force One on August 3. "You'd be surprised about how many people are Republicans. "I'm glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, then I think her ad is fantastic!" The president then posted on Truth Social about Sweeney's jeans ad for American Eagle Outfitters. Shares in American Eagle Outfitters soared on Wall Street overnight, gaining 23.5 per cent. Mr Trump, misspelling Sweeney's first name, said it was "the HOTTEST ad out there". "It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sidney," Trump said in his post. In the same post, Trump complained about advertisements from Bud Light and Jaguar, along with renewing his complaints about singer Taylor Swift, declaring them all "woke". The advertising campaign features the blonde-haired and blue-eyed actor dressed in denim and it bears the tagline: "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans." The US vice-president also weighed in. Speaking to a conservative podcast, JD Vance said Ms Sweeney was an "All-American beautiful girl" and "so much of the Democrats is oriented around hostility toward basic American life". "They think 'we're going to attack people as Nazis for thinking Sydney Sweeney is beautiful," he said. "Great strategy, guys, that's how you're going to win the midterms." Some social media users said the campaign alluded to theories of racial superiority. It features several videos in which the company uses "genes" and "jeans" in a play on words. Several videos show Sweeney, dressed head to toe in denim, discussing how great her genes/jeans are while playing with a puppy or starting up a Ford Mustang. "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour," she says in another video, which has since been removed. "My jeans are blue." There were concerns it alluded to eugenics, a theory popular among white supremacists that suggests the human race could be improved by breeding out "less desirable traits". But American Eagle posted a statement that said it was always just about jeans. "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans is and always was about the jeans," the brand wrote. "Great jeans look good on everyone." This is not the first time Sweeney has faced controversy. In 2022, she shared pictures of her mother's 60th birthday in which family members wore MAGA-style hats that read "make sixty great again". Sweeney later tweeted that people were turning an "innocent celebration" into an "absurd political statement". ABC/wires

Kristin Davis: Co-star on hit show ‘wouldn't speak to me'
Kristin Davis revealed that one of her Melrose Place co-stars gave her the cold shoulder during the time they worked together on the hit '90s primetime soap drama. During a recent appearance on Hey Dude … The '90s Called! podcast, the 60-year-old actress recalled that she 'felt like I won the lottery' when she landed the role of the villainous Brooke Armstrong in the third season of Melrose Place from 1995 to 1996. However, the Sex and the City star told hosts Christine Taylor and David Lascher 'there was never a moment of feeling confident' on the set of the Aaron Spelling-created series, and one cast member in particular was not very friendly to her. 'There were just so many, so many people [on set],' Davis said. 'And I felt and I have obviously seen all these people since then, and so many of them are so lovely. But at the time … it was competitive.' 'I had my friends within, like Marcia Cross and I were close, which was wonderful,' she continued. 'But there was one, you know, she wouldn't speak to me. Like, she wouldn't speak to me. 'I never had scenes with her, so it wasn't an issue. But I say, like, 'Good morning,' [and she wouldn't respond].' Taylor noted she also had similar experiences with co-stars, especially during that 'period of time' in which she recalled actors were wary of 'anybody who could potentially threaten your job.' 'We've all been on sets where we've had that experience where it was like, 'Oh, I don't think that they love that I'm here, but I'm only here for like a guest star [role] or whatever, right?'' she said. Taylor continued, 'And sometimes they weren't the nicest on certain sets and other times wonderful, but I feel like it was a period of time. And then, I guarantee you now, 30 years out of it, everyone looks back and is like, 'Oh my God, what an idiot I was.'' Davis explained she had 'seen this person,' whom she did not name, since that time. 'She's very nice to me now,' Davis said. 'And sometimes I'm like, 'Does she remember that she was being not that nice to me?'' Davis said she took the opposite approach when she starred on Sex and the City, describing herself as the 'welcoming committee' when new actors joined the cast or made guest appearances. 'I tried to get out there quick and be like, 'Hi,' because I remember that horrible feeling,' Davis recalled. 'It was scary.' Despite her negative experience with one co-star, Davis shared that it was 'amazing' to be part of Melrose Place, though she was disappointed that her stint on the show was short. ' Melrose was intimidating in, you know, so many ways, obviously,' Davis said. 'I mean, I grew up … watching all the Dallas and Dynasty and blah blah blah.' 'So, it meant a lot to me to be on there,' she added. 'Obviously, it was just a job also. Like, at a certain point, you're like, 'I have won the lottery. Like, I have a job. I cannot believe it.'' 'You know, it's amazing, right, from a young actor perspective,' she added. 'And, I mean, as far as I know, I was gonna stay there. Like, I didn't know that I was only gonna be one season, which I believe was 32 episodes, which is insane to think about now.' Davis' character was killed off in the episode 'Devil in a Wet Dress' after she drowned in the Melrose Place pool after falling and hitting her head. During a February interview with People magazine, Davis revealed that she beat Hilary Swank for the role of Brooke in Melrose Place. 'It was Hilary Swank, myself and a girl named Meredith,' Davis recalled of the final auditions for the part. Davis told the outlet she had been worried about her 'very, very long hair' at the time since the other actresses on the show had shorter hair. She recalled that she considered cutting her hair but decided against it. 'I remember going in, and it was just the three of us, and everyone was very nice,' Davis recalled. 'It wasn't one of those, like, scary rooms, and then you go in one at a time.' 'And I remember Hilary came out, and she seemed so young, and she had kind of shorter hair and kind of sporty. And I was like, 'Uh-oh,'' she continued. 'And then Meredith had longer hair also. I was like, 'Oh, good.'' Davis recalled that she and Meredith comforted Swank, who told them, 'I totally blew it,' after leaving the audition room. 'Obviously, she goes on to win two Oscars,' Davis said of Swank with a laugh. 'She did fine. She did fine.'

Sydney Sweeney's red carpet premiere outfit roasted on social media
Sydney Sweeney stepped out for the 'Americana' premiere amid backlash over her American Eagle ad, and her red carpet look is getting roasted on social media. The US actress and her stylist, Molly Dickson — who also worked on the controversial campaign — chose a custom butter yellow Danielle Frankel gown for the occasion, complete with a thick matching headband. The dress featured a high-shine corset-style top and tulle skirt that hit right around her ankles, showcasing her pointy-toed heels. The comment section on @checkthetag's post of her look is heating up, with many playing off the AE campaign's tagline, 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' 'Who's responsible for her bad fashion genes?' one user quipped. Another echoed them, writing, 'Genes with a bad taste' 'Are you auditioning for Oklahoma?' a third joked — referencing a scene in 'Euphoria' Season 2 where everyone thought Sweeney's character, Cassie, was trying out for the play due to her country-bumpkin getup. Others poked fun at Sweeney's recently revealed voter registration, with one person quipping, 'Whoever styled her found out she's a Republican lol.' Still more blamed Dickson for the red carpet look. 'Why does her stylist hate her' one said. Another added, 'That headband and the vomit yellow my God … whoever styled her has beef with her.' American Eagle has been in hot water since launching the controversial campaign on July 23. 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour. My jeans are blue,' Sweeney said in the video ad, which has since been removed from American Eagle's social media platforms. American Eagle, however, responded to the backlash on Instagram last week. ''Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans,' the retailer wrote in a post. 'Her jeans. Her Story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.'
