“Roommates” comes off Duff’s new LP, Luck …or Something. The track was co-written by Duff, her husband, musician Matthew Koma, and Brian Phillips, and reflects on losing the spark in a relationship. Luck …or Something is Duff’s first new album since 2015’s Breathe In. Breathe Out. Her Small Rooms, Big Nerves tour kicked off on Jan. 19 in support of the album.
Duff sat down with Fallon to discuss the album and her tour, as well as growing up as Lizzie Maguire. She shared that her kids are fans of her music. “They love my music,” she said. “It’s very sweet.”
Fallon professed his love for The Lizzie Maguire Show and then asked Duff, “Who was your Lizzie Maguire? Who were you superfans of when you were growing up?”
“The Olsen twins,” she said. “Brother For Sale! When they were spies. They were like twin sister spies. I had it on video, my VHS, and I was obsessed with the Olsen twins. I’m about to drop a lot of names here: I met the Olsen twins at Aaron Carter’s birthday party, pre-us dating. I was like, ‘I have arrived. I’ve made it. Both of the Olsen twins are here.’ It was crazy.”
Duff also answered a series of questions from fans, including her favorite onscreen love interest and her favorite 2000s Hilary Duff commercial.
Hilary Duff admits she had 'zero education' as child star
During an interview for the Table Manners podcast this week, the actress-singer explained that she was home-schooled from the age of eight
didn't get much formal education once she hit stardom after landing the titular role in the early 2000s comedy series, Lizzie McGuire. (Music-News)
"(I received) zero education, but I know a lot about a lot of things," she told co-hosts Jessie and Lennie Ware.
While Hilary didn't get her General Educational Development (GED), she maintained that she is "happy" with her level of knowledge.
"I feel like I educated myself on my own (on) different things I was interested in," the 38-year-old continued. "I love to read. I mean, I don't have as much time as I would like to read, but I really enjoy reading."
And when Lennie asked Hilary whether she would contemplate going to college as an adult, the pop star indicated that she probably wouldn't pursue a degree.
"I think I'm past the window of caring that my education wasn't great because I feel like I got strengths in other areas, and it kind of helps," she smiled. "And I'm not shy to ask a question about something. I know that my life was different than most, and I don't need to be embarrassed that I don't know when, like, a certain war took place. There's Google for that and ChatGPT. Honestly, something that's been so cool is connecting to my kid and having him teach me stuff that I didn't know about because he is getting a really great education."
