Julia Michaels explains the stories behind these photos with Billboard.

Julia Michaels:
Hi, I'm Julia Michaels and I'm going to be working behind the photo with Billboard.

Oh, this was truly a special day. I was on the cover of Billboard magazine because the three of us were nominated together for best new artist at the Grammys. Well actually, my manager Beka woke me up, we were in Australia. We were on tour with Shawn Mendes. She woke me up by jumping on me to tell me that we were nominated for song of the year and best new artist that year. Yes, this was a Billboard photo and I got to meet these two incredible people who are spectacular artists. It was a really special day.

Oh, guys! It's my mom. Is she not she is she beautiful? This is my mom, Julie. She is July. Im julia. If I had to guess, we were probably somewhere in Iowa, where I'm from. Yes, my mom and I still hold hands like that. To be honest, I just turned 30 this year and every time I go home to visit my mom, she always comes into my room and says, Can we cuddle and yeah? I'm 30 years old, I still cuddle with my mom.

Hey, oh! Many people who know me know that Hot Cheetos are my drug. I received this plaque from Spotify, that “Issues,” which was my first single, reached a billion streams. I wrote the song about a really, really, really shitty ex-boyfriend and it really worked for me. Thank you.

HA HA HA! This is Mr. Adam Levine. I was also on tour with him. I opened for him. We're still friends. I think it was 2018 and we still talk to each other like once every two weeks. He's basically like the brother I never wanted but somehow ended up with. I love him deeply. I love you even if you're an asshole in the best way possible.

Well then. Can we be a couple? I actually met Nicole several times because I was also on tour with her husband, Keith Urban. I've also written songs with him. I saw her that night which was so much fun and I got to meet him for the first time, Mr. Antoni, and he is so handsome. Very handsome. It was a beautiful night. Plus, Nashville was where all my family was, so I was able to have the best of both worlds. I was able to go see a lot of beautiful people and spend time with my family, who are also very beautiful people.
