This will be the best birthday of my adult life, I already know it. But wow, three years away from a stage, that's so crazy. But you were hard at work all that time, and truly, it's paid off. What a treat Lux is! Do you have any particular song you're most excited to perform?

we going to have so much fun, I can't wait! yeah, saying it out loud sounds even longer than it actually feels to be honest time goes by way too fast, but I'm very excited to get back out there. oh that's a good question, but so hard to say... I just did La Perla in Barcelona, and the way everyone was already singing it back to me word by word was insanity, so I already know that's going to be a good one to do live, I'm very nervous with all the languages, I don't want too mess that up too much.

I do try to use my words to bring some joy, but you know I don't ever say things I don't mean. You'll always be Rosie to me, so I'm glad I could make you smile by reminding you. I think the art will continue bringing us together for as long as we let it. The loudness of everything truly did fuck things up, but I will never not support you. Getting into the headspace of Bruce was something else, especially since having him around to guide me through portraying this part of his life, was a lot of pressure while somehow calming all the same. I doubt I'll ever become fluent in Spanish, no matter how much I wish I could and no matter how much you tried to teach me back then. It's a beautiful album, Rosie, and I legitimately mean that. I guess we truly are masochists, but I guess I'm just not ready to give up that pain, if that means knowing you're doing something meaningful and beautiful. I will try my hardest to make for a good story so I'll have a reason to share them with you.

you did. and you know you're still the exception when it comes to that nickname, I don't let anyone else use it. you're right, I know it will, and I'll always support you, I hope you know that as well, no matter what. The fact that Bruce was there to guide you... I can only imagine. That kind of energy stays with you, doesn't it? It changes how you see the world. Don't be so hard on your Spanish, you always had the heart for it, even if the verbs were a disaster, but so is my english, and I like to believe people understand me well enough. it's heavy, hearing you say you aren't ready to let go of the pain, but I think I understand it, though. Sometimes the pain is the only thing that proves what we had was real and not just some fever dream the paparazzi invented. I'd like to hear those stories, the good ones, the messy ones, all of them. Maybe when the world feels a little quieter again, we can find a place where there's no pressure, just Bruce's music, my Spanish lessons and no cameras.

i saw someone point out that we were all collectively losing our minds over your ‘berghain’ video back in october and then, poof, silence—which is a tragedy, honestly, but that’s just how the industry works now. attention spans evaporate. back then, a song could sit at the top for months; now it feels like the only person who can still pull that off is taylor, and the rest of us are just out here crossing our fingers. and it shouldn’t be like that, especially for you—you drop these wildly original things like it’s no big deal. / @rosaliatobella

Harry Eduardo Styles, you must be the last person on the face of this earth who can't complain about poofing from the charts, I'm sorry babes, I have to keep it real, you literally just dropped a single out of nowhere with a complete new sound to everything you put out before and the world stopped, you're on your way to reign those charts and you know it. But I appreciate the sentiment behind your words, I know that the music I've put out wouldn't work out like that, I'm still very happy with how it's been received, and I'm very excited that I get to tour it. Which now I mention... what does a girl have to do to see you in London?! Cause I have to make it, at least for one night. How have you been love? How are you doing with coming out to the spotlight after such a long break? Let me know if I need to start organizing a spa day to talk shit and unwind anytime soon.

Thank you, do try to be the best mom i can be for my kids, yep i was thinking maybe Montana or Oklahoma, maybe try to get Kenny to go horse shopping with me, i just think it would be nice for Stormi and Aire to have animals around outside the dogs and cats we have, maybe even teach them some responsibility, they are great, very excited for the birthday party that i have coming up and i wold love for you to come, wine and dine with Rosalia? say less i'll make sure i have some free time just for you.

You are succeeding mi amor! I'm sure it won't take too much convincing to get Kendall to horse hunting, that woman loves everything involving horses! I don't know much about those locations, but wherever you end up finding that farm, I know it's going to be amazing for the little ones! Say less, was already planning to be in LA for a little bit, I'll just make sure to book a flight a couple days earlier, I'll be there! Yes! We'll make that happen after the party, some girl time, I just know we both need it! Now you need to help me come up with the perfect birthday presents, what are they obsessed with these days?

Not a lot of people do actual world tours these days. I wonder who told them that North America (or the states, in fact) and some cities in Europe counts as the world. I’ve never understood that. Are we starting to forget that the southern hemisphere is a thing? I make sure to take some time off - I feel like it’s just my photoshoots all happen to get released at the same time. He is and she loved it. Khai loves concerts in general but it was extra special seeing Zayn on stage.

You're not wrong, I pushed hard to make sure to include as many countries as possible, but it is a logistic nightmare, it has to be said, and there's risks involved as well, I consider myself very lucky that I managed to sold out most dates, there was a time that wouldn't happen, I'm very excited to finally get out there. It makes it look like you're going non stop more than you actually are, good, it's very important to find that balance. I can only imagine, I'm glad you both had fun.

It has been a while, but what a great way to reach out again—Singing my praises. In all seriousness, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it, Rosie. It means the world, especially coming from you. Despite everything I hope you know that I will always appreciate hearing from you and for the record, I listened to "Lux" about a dozen times already. It's fantastic. You know I've always loved your voice, so I couldn't get myself to avoid the album. I hope you're doing well too. I can't promise I'm not up to too much trouble, but that's life, you know? It doesn't come without some trouble.

you always did have a way with words, J. I smiled at the Rosie, it's been a minute since I heard that. It's funny how we still find each other through the art even when the rest of it got too loud to handle. I know how much you give into every role, so seeing you as Bruce... it was special. Twelve times?! be careful there, you'll end up fluent in spanish! Jokes apart, I'm glad LUX reached you, I poured a lot of myself into those songs, so it feels right that you heard them. I guess we are both just masochists who can't stay away from what the other is creating, you're just braver than me, it took me a little longer to face it. Now if you're going to be trouble at least make sure that it's the kind that makes for a good story.

meg: and yet the people, me included, love it.

Haven't seen you in a while, love, and just wanted to check in. I don't want things to be awkward between us just because Dua and I aren't an item anymore, and I feel things may be heading in that direction with how long it's been since we chatted. So rather than letting it become more awkward, I think you need to update me on your life. How's things? @rosaliatobella

Hello my darling, how have you been doing? I don't see a reason to allow things to become awkward between the two of us, so let's not, you can still be one of my favorite British man. How are you holding up? I have to be honest, I'm feeling like a terrible friend to the both of you, cause I haven't spoken to either of you since forever, and I'm not really on the loop about the whole thing. Life has been good lately, chaotic, but what's new? I'm deep into tour preparations at the moment... how about you? Working already or enjoying some time off?

Trav: why thank you.

Rosalia: we appreciate the wiser bit, even if we don't really want to be getting older, at least not this fast. Time should really just chill out and stop running this fast.

committed to the grind. where's your favorite vacation spot? and more importantly, what does your work schedule look like? any big moments happening for you this year? hm, i never knew that but that sounds fun and way less hectic than doing it on december 25th.

Indeed. It changes a lot, I really love Brazil, and I'm still ridding that high after having such a great time around, but Italy is a big one for me, let's make it my top two. How about you? Any favorite vacation destination? Oh you don't wanna know what my work schedule looks like, fully packed all year long already. I have a world tour coming up starting in March, so I'm already fully into tour preparations. How about you? How is the year looking? Tell me everything.

Rosalia: I'm already deep in tour preparations, so you can already imagine how hectic my schedule already looks, but I'll be in LA next month for a little bit, I'll be going to Kyle's kids birthday party, and I'm staying for a little while before I have to get back and hit the road, maybe we can find the time to meet then

You think it can help with healing? Love me different I can understand on that front but parachute… oft. That’s definitely a roller coaster there. And I think it’s worse cause when you’re in Europe - I’m doing the states and then we swap. So it’s really not going to work out to sneak a show in there. I’ll be watching all the clips online. Having my birthday days after Christmas is just something that I’ve gotten used to. It also means that people don’t want to go all out to celebrate and that’s fine by me. I prefer chill. I can’t blame you for wanting to move to Brazil, it’s such a beautiful country. How’s your tour prep going? Cause for me… I keep forgetting lyrics. Oops.

It just allows me to sing on the top of my lungs and let it all out. We really are doing it completely opposite of each other, it really is a shame, we will have to do the virtual kind of support, definitely checking all the clips, just make sure you have fun out there, that's what matters the most in the end of the day. Yeah, it works out if you enjoy it on the more chill and quiet way, I'm glad. So beautiful, maybe in a few years I'll actually consider it, have to work a little more on my portuguese before I make any decisions. Ahah! Well, I can definitely relate! Now that I'm fully into tour prepping, I'm reconsidering all my life choices, what was I thinking when I decided that sing in twelve different languages was a good idea?! I had trouble before when it was only Spanish and English I had to worry about! And I hate the gym with a passion lately, I'm trying to get back on shape, cause it's going to be a long one, I don't think there's a single muscle in my body that isn't aching.

Barcelona in April? Literally 10 days before my birthday, too. Your concert will start mis patronales!

that's like almost perfection, this will be my early birthday present, vamos! it's a date, we gonna have so much fun, I can't wait! It's been quite a while, three years ago more precisely, yeah. I'm a little nervous myself I have to be honest, but more excited overall, I love to perform live, it's the most rewarding part of this thing I'm lucky enough to do for a living. Awn thank you so much baby, you're too kind. But tell me about you! What have you been up to lately? I wanna know everything!
