A Little Better

Lucy Hale sat down with iHeart Radio to talk about her “firsts”. Lucy revealed her first kiss, her first time hearing her song on the radio, first movie she was cast in, and so much more.

On the first movie she was cast in: It was Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. I played Effie, who was Alexis Bledel’s little sister, who loses the pants. That was really cool, and because I was 17 at the time, the only way for me to book the job was if I got emancipated, and we only had a week’s amount of time and were like, “well, that’s impossible.” But, my uncle was a judge in Mississippi and got me emancipated real quick, so I got the job and it’s because of that, that I got another show called Privileged, and because of Privileged I got PLL. So, if it wasn’t for my uncle getting me emancipated, I would not be on PLL”

On her first kiss: “A boy named David was my first kiss when I was like, 13, in Memphis. He lived down the street from me, and we’re still friends, so it’s pretty crazy!”

On first hearing her song on the radio: “[It was] actually in my car on the radio. I was driving on the 405, so if you’re familiar with LA, the 405 is just a madhouse. It’s a highway that’s so much traffic. So I was in back-to-back traffic, was just so annoyed, and I was listening to the radio, sure enough, I caught like the last thirty seconds of my song [“You Sound Good To Me”], and just was like … It was a bummer because I didn’t have anyone else there to share it with me, but I got it on my phone, like recorded it, and it was just really crazy. I mean, you’ll never hear that … You’ll never relive your first moment of hearing yourself on the radio for the first time.”
