Madison Beer highlighted three major goals on her mind in recent years: win a Grammy, perform at Madison Square Garden and appear on Hot Ones.
With The Locket Tour coming to MSG in July and the pop singer making her Hot Ones debut on Thursday (Feb. 12), Beer’s well on her way when it comes to manifesting her goals.
As a longtime fan of the web series, Beer completed the Hot Ones gauntlet through the tears and scorching heat — without even reaching for any ice cream.
Throughout the episode, Madison opened up about her Locket standout “Complexity,” and remaking the Severance show’s elevator bell sound for the track, which is part of her practicing bringing comedic relief to life’s serious moments.
“Severance is my favorite show, I’m obsessed with the show. I wrote a lyric was like, ‘Remember the time you severed me.’ Just had to shout them out,” she explained. “Actually, I think we had to remake the ding cause I don’t think we didn’t get it cleared.
“They were like, ‘Nah’ and we had to remake it,” Beer continued. “I’m someone who needs that comedic relief throughout heaviness. I tend to sway a bit dark and deep when I talk, whether it’s an interview or podcast I’ve done, whatever, I feel like I get a little bit intense sometimes, so I’m trying to learn how to soften those things.”
Madison Beer is also a pretty serious gamer, as she loves her some Fortnite, which fans can watch her livestream occasionally. Beer spoke into the camera directly to Epic Games, demanding they stop tweaking the game and give her a custom Madison Beer skin.
“I love Fortnite. They’ve changed it too much now, though. I’m a little bit upset with you, Epic Games,” she said. “No seriously. Let’s speak really quickly. Let’s get serious. Stop changing things that we love about Fortnite. Keep it original and keep it— I don’t know which camera to look at, I’m looking at both. And give me a skin please!”
Beer notched her first top 10 album on the Billboard 200 with Locket, which arrived in January, earning 43,000 equivalent album units in the United States in its first week, according to Luminate.
She’ll head out on The Locket Tour in May, which kicks off overseas, and wraps up with the aforementioned stop at Madison Square Garden in the Big Apple on July 13.
