“Treat Myself”.
Welcome Piper nice to have you here. It’s fun to be part of the Piperazzi. Yeah. Tell me about the song.
Piper Rockelle:
So “Treat Myself” itself is a very nice song. You know, I do work a lot. I do a lot. And I feel like you really need to treat yourself sometimes.
BEONDTV:
Treat yourself, pampering yourself. And that’s kind of the theme of that. Yeah. The boys notice. (laughter)
BEONDTV:
What is the way? I mean? Because, look, if people don’t know you have millions of subscribers on YouTube, you have Tick Tock fans, you have Instagram fans. So you’re working. I mean, you are working, you’re doing your videos, you’re acting, you’re doing all of these things. So what do you do to treat yourself for real?
Piper Rockelle:
I really like to hang out with my family and I am a cat lover. So I love to hang out with my cats.
BEONDTV:
Oh, I love my cat. Carlos loves his cat.
Piper Rockelle:
We have a lot of cats. We have many. So, in Georgia, we actually have like 15.
BEONDTV:
Wow, wow, that’s a lot of cats. Do you have a Maine Coon?
Piper Rockelle: No, I want it!
BEONDTV:
Maine Coon cats are just like dogs. I love talking about cat. You couldn’t talk about cats quite a bit.
Piper Rockelle:
Me and my mom, we love cats so much that we want to this like kind of rundown town. It’s called Bombay Beach. And my friends and I we really help this town out. We saved like all the cats because there was like really bad cat problem. So you had a lot of kittens at once.

How does that happen, though? Like, I mean, that doesn’t happen overnight. You know. And I think there’s a lot of kids, young people out there that have a pretty good substantial following. But how do you get to the million mark? How did that happen?
Piper Rockelle:
I really don’t know how it happened. Like, I don’t even like really when people ask me like, do you feel famous? I’m like, No, I don’t I don’t know famous but like, I guess I kind of am. But I really don’t know how it happened. So I was like, I started on this app called MusicLy. And then I got featured and then I got crowned and then I went on to YouTube and then Instagram. And I guess just I like to connect with people. And I don’t know really, I don’t really know how it happened.
