"We completely ignore social media. Bradley Simpson also isn't on social media very much. I think we just try to live in reality as much as we can"
About this Quote
The name-drop of Bradley Simpson matters because it turns a personal preference into a shared culture. She's not presenting herself as a lone purist above the fray; she's signaling a micro-community of peers who treat posting as optional, not compulsory. That subtly pushes back against the industry's unspoken rule that intimacy must be monetized. If fans are trained to expect 24/7 access, refusing that access becomes a boundary and a branding choice at once.
"I think we just try to live in reality as much as we can" is the softest line, and the sharpest. "Reality" isn't neutral here; it's positioned as something you can lose, something the feed can steal. The phrasing "as much as we can" concedes how hard total escape is, especially for someone whose job involves public attention. Carpenter is selling a version of authenticity that doesn't require constant proof. The subtext: the real life is happening off-camera, and you don't get to own it just because you stream the music.
