00:26about everything from the tragedy
00:28to new music and Taylor Swift to Beyonce.
00:32We've actually, Heidi's played more of Beyonce.
00:35We break it all down in this week's Music You Should Know.
00:38The audience is, it's like its own American idol.
00:42They are making Heidi this pop star
00:45and it's all audience driven.
00:47So it's like a live reality show
00:49where the audience keeps pushing her to the top
00:52and it's like a weird glitch in the matrix.
00:55After losing their home
00:56in the fire destroying large neighborhoods in Los Angeles,
00:59Spencer saw a huge boom in his social following.
01:02Cheers, thank you to a million followers on TikTok
01:06who would have thought all I needed
01:07is our house to burn down.
01:08It happened to time with the 15th anniversary
01:11of Heidi's album, Superficial, and song, I'll Do It,
01:14which is hit number one on iTunes
01:17as fans and even celebs rallied behind the project.
01:21♪ Cause I wanna let my hair down, stand up right now ♪
01:26And they even got Heels cast support.
01:28Lowe has posted about it.
01:29Brody has posted about Heidi's music.
01:32Have you guys had any other castmates post about the music
01:34and how do you feel about that?
01:36I think Kristen Cavallari did it first.
01:38She did.
01:39So Kristen did it twice and she did it first
01:41and then Adrena did it.
01:43And then Brody and his amazing wife, Tia,
01:46who's a superstar co-surfer.
01:48It was great to get that support from them.
01:51We also have had like Howie Mandel.
01:53Whitney, even Whitney did a dance.
01:56Emma Rotta.
01:57Yeah, Emma Rotta was the first person
01:59with a major following to like do a serious video.
02:03So I will, when we get money again,
02:06we're rich A-list pop star celebrities.
02:08I'm buying her bikinis, her slips,
02:12whatever that is she's selling.
02:15And if streaming continues,
02:16she can make her first Billboard 200 chart debut.
02:20It would be a straight miracle and so exciting.
02:23And my biggest dreams come true
02:26and just everyone's love and support.
02:28It's just been unbelievable
02:29and it's really just overwhelmed me.
02:31You know, people are really just supporting our family
02:34in such a hard time and it's just been such a light
02:37and so many answered prayers for my music.
02:41And I mean, it's just a miracle.
02:43It's a straight miracle.
02:44So I can't thank everyone enough for playing it,
02:46for making videos, for streaming it.
02:48And the project was a huge investment from them.
02:51I had $2 million we spent on Heidi's album.
02:54I could be worth $200 billion right now
02:57if I had just put it into Bitcoin.
02:59So you go through all these things
03:01and it was like a real point of like, why did we do that?
03:05And they're still investing with a new video
03:07for I'll Do It just released.
03:09♪ It's a matter of motivation ♪
03:12Well, we had OnlyFans approach us to do-
03:15OnlyFans TV.
03:16OnlyFans TV approached us to do a music video
03:19a few months ago, you know, and so they wanted to,
03:23they were like, hey, we know the anniversary is coming up.
03:25We'd love to do the first official music video.
03:27It's gotten a lot of traction and talk this past year.
03:30We'd love to be the ones to put it together for you.
03:34And I was like, great, that would be amazing.
03:35So the timing, like Spencer said,
03:37for the superficial anniversary is just,
03:43it's, yeah, it's just divine timing at all.
03:46I mean, they finished editing it like two days ago.
03:48We just, Heidi just did that.
03:50And Heidi did that music video.
03:52Everyone knew she was sick and she tried to cancel.
03:55So it's not like she was trying to get people sick,
03:57but she was like, let's reschedule.
03:59She did that with like 103 temperature, but-
04:03And you look hot, girl.
04:05But now Heidi has turned it up
04:07with a brand new song, Prototype,
04:09and the visualizer, Slay.
04:11♪ I look like an angel and I'm feeling like a god ♪
04:14♪ When we're going at it tonight, don't stop ♪
04:18And they have more up their sleeve.
04:20And it's one of those records that's only given
04:22to the Taylor Swift, the Sabrina Carpenter,
04:26the Chapel Ro-
04:27You know, you don't get this record
04:30unless you are the biggest in the world.
04:33So it's one of those,
04:34they gave us Willy Wonka's golden ticket, you know?
04:37Well, I cannot wait.
04:38You have hyped us up.
04:39We are ready.
04:40We are waiting.
04:42We all know there are huge Swifties.
04:44What did they think of Billboard's ranking
04:46of the 21st century pop stars?
04:48We've actually, Heidi's played more Beyoncé.
04:51That's had been more meaningful to my intimacy.
04:56Beyoncé is more involved in our relationship.
04:59No, I'm just saying, I'm just saying.
05:01So I see she's very powerful in our home.
05:07So, um-
05:09You know, drunken love is great.
05:11What a classic.
05:12Yeah, no, I'm just saying.
05:13So obviously I'm a Swiftie, but I'll never, you know,
05:17I got too many great memories to Beyoncé music.
05:20Hope they can get back to fun date night soon.
