A STELLAR Sit-Down With Maisie Peters

Team STELLAR sits down with UK artist Maisie Peters to see what’s on her Best List…

1. The best holiday I was ever on:

I just went on holiday a few days ago. I went to Kent in the UK. It was only three days and it was in the countryside, but it was very fun. I haven’t been on holiday for many years. So you know what? I’m going to give it to Kent. I’m going to put it to the top.

2. The best advice I was ever given:

I feel like sort of the best advice is one that you actually find yourself doing and I absolutely take my makeup off every single night, and I always have, and I think I always will.

I just think it’s a good way to live your life. If you’re taking your makeup off every night, at least one thing is within your control.

3. My best dinner party dish:

A big bowl of pasta because you can just scoop it up into everyone’s plate.

4. The best thing in my wardrobe right now:

I actually love the [black Roxy] jumper I’m wearing. I bought it in a vintage store in Japan. It’s so cool, It’s like a turtleneck. I love it. I wear it with everything and I think it fits perfectly. I was very pleased to find it.

5. The best book I’ve ever read is:

Wow. That’s a very hard question. Impossible! But I actually love The Great Gatsby, by F Scott Fitzgerald. I studied it in school and I’m still very fond of it.

6. The best tv show:

Succession, easy. Watch it.

7. The best song on your album to drive to:

The Band and I because that’s arguably a song about sort of one big long road trip, which is what the tour is. Yeah, I would drive to The Band and I.

8. The best beauty product I own:

I’m not really a beauty girl. Shamefully, I use the same makeup I’ve owned since I was 16 years old. But I have a little NARS blusher and I love her, she’s teeny-tiny and she comes everywhere with me.

9. The best gift I ever received:

I played Hammersmith Apollo a few months ago and Ed Sheeran very kindly sent me a broomstick as a present for playing Hammersmith. It was like an actual broomstick with a little bow around it.

10.The best place in Ireland is:

Dublin. Has to be Dublin!

11. The person who makes me feel my best is:

Probably my friends. I have lovely friends. I’ll give it to any of them, they can all take it.

12. One of the best things that ever happened to me was:

That’s such a cute question. Probably when I borrowed my friend Olive’s guitar when I was twelve, I feel like that has done me pretty well. I’m going to say that.

Maisie Peter’s album The Good Witch is out now. She plays Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on October 25^th and 26^th.
