Was it surreal to be on the set of your own music video?
Oh my gosh, yes. I was in the best mood ever the entire day. We went through the ringer; it was a 19 hour day pretty much, 18-19 hours on set, but completely and utterly worth it. I was just so pumped the whole time, and then by the end of it when they were finally like, “It’s a wrap!” I just like cried a little, I’m not gonna lie. And everybody around was just clapping, and they were all, “Oh my gosh, that’s so sweet!” I mean, I had a perfect team around me that I was working with and it just came together. Literally, I could walk through the gym of my high school and imagine videos. It’s just been a dream come true. I can’t even tell you.
Last question – how would you sum up the last year or so of your life?
Well before this last year and a half or so, I didn’t even know what the word “whirlwind” and that’s definitely a word I could use to describe it. It’s been incredible to be able to accomplish my goals at this young of an age. I’m 21-years-young. I’ve had my aspirations, knew I had to make this dream come true, and believed in myself. And knowing that every single aspect of my life has changed in the midst of one year, it’s just incredible. I’m taking it to the fullest and soaking up each moment.

I see Haley hitting it big in her young career based on who she is and how she'd driven to share all of that phenominal talent and soul.
