During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Willow talked about her admiration for Beyoncé, after rumors about a possible rock album. "If Queen Bey hits me up, you know I’m coming," Willow told the publication.

"That’s really the only stipulation. Queen Bey could be like, 'Hey, could you pick up some chips from the store and bring it over? I’m in Milan,' and I’d be like, 'I’m in L.A., but guess what? I’ll be there in a few hours. What kind of chips?' So honestly, yeah, I hope."
