If HayleyKiyoko is lesbian Jesus, “Girls Like Girls” is the Bible. Here she talks to her friend TaylorJenkinsReid o talk about crafting limitless worlds, stopping to smell the roses, and turning her song into a novel.
Daisy Jones & The SixTAYLOR JENKINS REID: Hello, lesbian Jesus. How are you?KIYOKO: I am in Phoenix in my beautiful lounge on my tour bus.KIYOKO: Well, it’s a double-decker. So this is the lounge area, and then there’s 16 bunks behind me. So when you have 16 people in this room, it’s a little different than just me on Zoom with you. But I appreciate the luxury, truly. You’re just surrounded by books.KIYOKO: They’re color-coordinated. Do you normally color-coordinate your books? Oh my gosh.
KIYOKO: Honestly, I’ve been tested for too many things. I don’t need another thing to deal with. [Laughs] You know what I mean?KIYOKO: Not last night, but the night before.KIYOKO: It was the coolest thing ever. I wish you were there. I grew up literally lining up outside of the Wiltern to see Imogen Heap, Sia, and all these amazing artists. It was an out of body experience to see the green room and sit on the toilet that everyone sat on. I was freaking out. It was so crazy.
JENKINS REID: It meant so much to me though, because all I’ve ever wanted from the work I do is to make somebody feel less alone. To be honest, watching you the past couple of years, you are showing so many young people that it’s okay for them to be who they are and there’s a world out there that loves them for that. I’m so excited for—what do they call your stans? Is it Kiyokians?JENKINS REID: I’m so excited for Kiyokians because you have a big two weeks coming up.
JENKINS REID: I think the thing you find difficult about a book is the reason I will never attempt to direct a movie. In my world of storytelling, I am the writer, the director, the props person, the wardrobe person. I decide everything. There is no limit to my imagination so I can build out this world exactly how I want without the limits of reality or a budget. So I love that you are a director because it is a cinematic book and it instantly grabs you from the beginning.
