Biggest red flag on a first date? Ugly shoes. If someone is trying to win you over, do they need to impress you or Kuma first?

0:06

If they win Kuma's heart, that's a faster way for you because he only loves me.

0:13

Would you double text? I don't even first text. I'm Willa Bennett and this is Blind Date.

0:21

So normally I go on blind dates, but when I chose Jenny as our cover star, I was like, oh my God, you have to open season four of Blind Date.

0:32

And she's on the show, so no blindfold necessary. Please welcome Jenny!

0:41

Yes, Jenny, welcome to Blind Date. Hi! I dressed up for you. You did. You look so beautiful. Cheers!

1:29

And seeing all the fans around the world, always a pleasure. Okay, so reader questions will be fantastic. Hello.

1:37

Thank you so much. These are our incredible readers. Have many questions for you. I'm also going in blind, blind date. Okay.

1:44

So let's dig in. You rap, sing, act, and dance. What percentage of each category are you made up of?

1:51

A good 25 of each. I want to be able to face all four of them in the same energy, you know.

1:58

I'm 5% dance. I was a dancer for a very long time. I know. If you could add one new skill into this, what would you pick?

2:05

Anything in the world? I want to be a professional bartender. I love that. What is the first drink you want to make? I don't know.

2:11

I feel like I've read stuff on the internet too much where I believe that I'm capable of making cocktail, which I'm not. You definitely can.

2:18

But a nice martini. I'll start there. You can put your mind to it. I feel you can do anything. I can make you one. I would love one.

2:25

Have you ever had a cosmopolitan? Not that I recall, but I must have. And this could be my first. Yes.

2:31

Okay, when does the Capricorn sign of you come out?

2:35

I should know this because I recently talked to my friends about astrology, which I'm not so familiar with.

2:40

They said that I'm a workaholic and that's the Capricorn side of me. Interesting. I'm trying to embrace that.

2:47

I'm learning about astrology these days. So what are you? Libra. Libra, what's something about you? Very creative.

2:55

A little bit like it's too balanced. It's like two scales. Oh, very balanced. Yeah. Okay. Do you think you're balanced?

3:01

I believe I'm a super balanced person. Yeah. That's a fun fact about me. I think I'm a very balanced person. That's cool.

3:08

This one's good from a Cosmo reader. If your friends are saying, shut up, Jenny, just get in the car, what are you most likely doing or talking about?

3:16

In my head, in my head, it's, it's, we've been out. It's 2 a.m. It's 3 a.m.

3:23

And I'm not trying to go home. And my friends are saying, shut up, Jenny, get in the car.

3:30

What kind of party are you? Do you like to dance? Do you like to stay up late? I love to dance at a party.

3:37

I don't go out too often, but when I do, I love to just jump around to music and dance. I love a good dance party.

3:44

What was it like seeing Dracula blow up? It made me unexpectedly super happy.

3:51

I think I woke up every day getting these new

3:54

reactions from fans so i was just so happy that the song

3:57

did well because it happened so naturally with kevin and

4:01

also the fact that i still haven't gotten in a space

4:04

with him to shoot wow really no we

4:07

did it over um zoom and video calls because he was in australia and i was in korea but it worked out

4:14

4:17

4:20

up hanging out in korea and yeah just like that

4:23

i've always been a fan of his music so we talked

4:26

about working together but it happened

4:30

with dracula so i'm just really happy it's an amazing song it's everywhere doji was also on the cover of cosmo i know and she's also a collaborator with you.

4:39

I love Tochi. She's just like a walking inspiration for me.

4:43

Anything that she does is so creative and I can already tell that she puts so much time and her vision in it that she's just an inspiring creature for me.

4:53

I love you. Was there a certain song that made you want to collaborate with her? What was it that drew you to her? I think it's her energy.

5:00

I was immediately drawn to all her videos and all her music from the beginning so I just knew in deep down like I wanted to collaborate

5:08

with her but with the song extra l that's that's what

5:11

i was searching for a strong feminine energy that i could have

5:14

fun with who else better than doji readers

5:17

and your fans love your friendship with lily

5:20

rose depp what was it like teaching her how to be a pop star did you give her any interesting

5:24

advice you know what though it was the other way around with wow

5:27

because it was also my act first acting experience and i got to do it with lily and she ended up giving me the most

5:33

sweetest advice or just on anything and still up to this day she's still making sure that i'm good

5:39

i was very grateful to have her by my side

5:42

do you still remember the dance oh the one that

5:45

i picked up probably in like three hours i don't think it's

5:48

in my body but i can probably do it again in three hours

5:51

that's amazing what's the quickest you've ever had to learn choreography sometimes the day

5:58

off like at the shoot we sometimes just make stuff up on the spot we did that a lot for blackpink

6:04

honestly like 30 minutes 30 minutes 30

6:07

minutes but it wasn't for the whole song but for a good like

6:10

a minute are there any performances that you look back at

6:14

now and regret never that's cool never i never want to regret anything that i did so i want to be proud who is your favorite person to see at a Chanel show?

6:25

I mean, I love everyone. I love my Chanel family.

6:28

When I see Lily at Chanel anytime, it's like a ray of sunshine to me.

6:34

Like she makes me feel home and everyone else. I love your friendship with Gracie.

6:39

I loved how she wrote that incredible piece on you recently. I didn't know she was writing this piece about me.

6:45

So when I saw it, I was in literal tears and I was actually screaming a little bit too. Why?

6:51

It was just the sweetest thing that anyone could have done. and Gracie is such a sweetheart and same with Lily.

6:57

Lily and Gracie and I have honestly have a great time at Chanel shows together. I'm so glad to have the girls with me there.

7:03

I love your friendship and I it's really even from my phone screen it's like so beautiful and special.

7:10

I'm such a big fan of her music and her as an artist so to be able to share this generation together so closely I think I'm just very lucky.

7:19

That's yeah so beautiful. This is from a Cosmo reader. Okay. Whose concert are you screaming front row at?

7:26

Also it says, hi Jenny, I love you. Just so you know. I am at Rosalia's concert screaming front row.

7:33

I can't wait to go watch her Lux tour. It seems amazing. I love the new album.

7:40

Do you know the song Umbrella? I've picked up Spanish. It's my goal to like sing the whole thing without looking at the lyrics.

7:46

Would you ever collaborate with her? Could we expect a... A dream. Really? A dream. Did you catch her in Euphoria?

7:52

I did watch the new season of Euphoria and watch her do her thing. She's so great in it. It's amazing.

7:59

Every time she speaks, I'm like, I don't know what you mean, what you're saying, but I love it. This one is highly specific.

8:06

I think you're gonna like it. Jenny, if someone is trying to win you over, do they need to impress you or Kuma first?

8:12

I would love for them to win my heart, but if they win Kuma's heart, that's a faster way for you because he only loves me, sadly.

8:25

Is Kuma usually right about people? Always. Always. I trust his instinct better than mine. Really?

8:31

I think dogs have special talents to read people's energy, though. Do you travel with Kuma everywhere?

8:38

No, I don't. So when you're on tour, you don't see Kuma for weeks? I don't get to see him for weeks and months.

8:44

He's turned 11 now, so I just don't want to fly him to places and put more pressure on him.

8:51

He's got a good, happy life back home, so it's okay. Okay, this one's also great.

8:55

What is the longest you've ever lasted in a cold plunge? A little less than five minutes, like four minutes. That's a long time.

9:02

It's a long time. If you cold plunge, you must know, but that's a long time.

9:06

Would you break up with someone if they couldn't do a cold plunge?

9:10

I think eventually I can convince them enough to cold plunge with me. I love a powerful woman.

9:17

Jenny, our readers are so grateful that you took the time to answer their questions.

9:21

And now we're going to move on to the second section, which is I go through old cosmos and we kind of look how these issues have aged.

9:29

For you, we have Brianna. July 2011. Can I take that home? Of course.

9:36

It'd be my pleasure to gift you this. This is from the Ask Cosmo column from the July 2011 issue. Let's ask Jenny instead.

9:43

I usually don't drink when I go out with my friends, but we always end up splitting the bill.

9:49

It kind of feels unfair, but should I just suck it up? I don't think I would ever feel like it's unfair on me to pay for something that I didn't drink.

9:57

But I'm out with my friends, so it's for the vibe, if anything. But if you feel that way, that means maybe you're not hanging out with the right group.

10:05

I agree. I'd also just Venmo request. Yeah. I'd be like, give me back. Yeah.

10:10

What is the perfect first date outfit? My mom says I should always wear heels. But is that too much?

10:17

Be you, though. Because me, see, I'm not really a heel. Me either, obviously.

10:22

I love wearing and dressing up in heels. The most important thing is your comfort.

10:28

The guy I'm dating updates his Facebook status constantly, but he takes hours to respond to my texts.

10:35

No, red flag. Does that mean he isn't into me? He changes his Facebook status, but he's not replying back to you?

10:42

Everything about that is wrong. We need respect and love from the man. Follow up, would you double text?

10:50

I don't even first text. Same. So for me to double text, that's a big gesture.

10:59

Okay, so no. In case, emergency, unless. What's the emergency? You're not texting me back?

11:06

If you're not replying back to me for your own reason, respect. I respect your time. Facebook status?

11:13

Facebook status, by the way, is no. I agree.

11:17

I've caught my boyfriend checking out my roommate, and it makes me feel weird.

11:22

Should I confront them, or will it make me seem paranoid? Always confront. Always confront. Really? I think so.

11:28

First of all, your boyfriend should not be checking your roommate out. I agree. That's inappropriate. I think I would talk to my friend first.

11:36

Yes, but we don't know if the roommate is your friend. It could just be a roommate, you know? It could just be a hot roommate. Have you ever had a hot roommate?

11:43

We'll leave it there. What do I do if every time I hang out with my boyfriend, I start to feel really jealous? Any tips?

11:51

You gotta love yourself. You really gotta love yourself and prioritize you.

11:54

Do you have any advice for someone who's maybe struggling with jealousy?

11:59

I think trust is such an important foundation of a relationship that you should learn to trust the other and also learn to gain your trust from the other.

12:10

So once that settles, the rest is so easy.

12:15

So you've got to prioritize the way you see someone, I think. It's more than chasing.

12:21

You really got to earn the trust. You're so, so eloquent about giving advice. Really?

12:29

Yeah, you're amazing at it. You should have a Cosmocon. Oh, you're too sweet. You're too sweet. Thank you. Thank you, July 2011. Thank you, Jenny.

12:35

Thank you so much. Now, to end our incredible date, we're going to do a love audit, which is super fun.

12:41

I'm going to spitball some things, and you're going to respond quickly. Okay. You got this. I got this.

12:45

Insane vocals or jaw-dropping dance break? Insane vocals. Favorite lyric from one of your songs? From Zen.

12:56

i'm on the edge of my seat in a really cool way it's

13:04

shut up jenny get in the car shut up

13:07

jenny just get in the car so good it was

13:10

just loved by a lot of people so yes should i say shut up jenny just drink your cosmo yes yes what black pink song is quoted to you most often?

13:21

More than a song, it's usually black, pink in your area. Surprise, drop an album or tease it slowly? Surprise.

13:27

Hop on a remix or drop an acoustic version? Drop an acoustic version. Ooh, that surprises me.

13:34

Ball gown or sweats? Sweats. Capybara or hamsters? Oh, capybara.

13:40

They're the most calming, zen, peaceful animal in the world.

13:45

I always try to learn from capybaras, the zen-ness of it, you know? Date a dog person or a cat person? Dog. Dog.

13:52

Is it ever okay to go through someone's phone? No. Date a super fan or someone who has never heard of your music? Someone who's never heard of my music.

13:58

What does it mean to be a Cosmo girl? Iconic. I agree.

14:04

Keep it mysterious or overshare? Mysterious. We're ladies here. Biggest red flag on a first date?

14:11

Ugly shoes. Cute or cringe? Joint breakup statements? I have no clue what to do.

14:17

So on Instagram, you can share a collab post. You can, like, collaborate with someone. So you, like, collaborate with someone you're breaking up with and you give a statement.

14:25

What? You're crazy. Love at first sight or friends to lovers?

14:31

I'm leaning towards friends. Friends first. Aw. I think it builds something special.

14:38

What is your ideal first date? Drinks, coffee, dinner, or an activity? Tea.

14:47

That wasn't one of the general options. It wasn't? So I have one last question for you. Will you go on another blind date with me?

14:59

Of course. Of course. I will wear nicer shoes next time. No, you have cute shoes.

15:07

This is the most hectic and chaotic but real interview that I've ever done. Thanks to you. Thank you.

15:13

Thank you. Thank you.
