Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his wife Hailee Steinfeld are busy being new parents to a baby girl, but Steinfeld is also keeping up with her newsletter, the “Beau Society.” In the Wednesday, April 15 edition of the newsletter, Steinfeld reflected on something from the past amid motherhood.
Steinfeld is known for being an award-winning actress, but there was a time when she was also a pop singer. Her most recent EP, “Half Written Story,” dropped back in 2020, so it’s been a minute since she’s hit the studio.
Now, Steinfeld is opening up about how much she misses doing not just music but, specifically, music videos. Nearly anyone who makes music will say that doing music videos can really add to the creative process and bring a single to life for listeners.
Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen’s Wife Hailee Steinfeld Shares Nostalgic Music Video and Says She Misses Doing Them
In her newsletter, Steinfeld discusses how much she misses doing music videos.
“Boy, do I miss making music videos,” she says in the post, with two exclamation marks. “I’ve always seen them as these perfect mini movies that combine my two passions: music and film. As an artist, I care deeply about every aspect of telling a story.”
She adds that with every song, she always had to do a music video, even though it got expensive, “chaotic to shoot” and often meant “making six different outfit changes in a tiny trailer parked in the middle of nowhere.”
“Execs at my label would tell me, ‘No one cares about music videos anymore,'” she added. “I quickly gathered what they were really saying: There’s no budget. Well, there’s always budget… and I’ve always cared! I still care today — so many people do.”
Will Hailee Steinfeld Go Back Into Music? The Wife of Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen Answers
So, will Steinfeld ever get back to the studio and make a new album or even single? In February, she answered this question in her “Beau Society” newsletter.
Steinfeld was asked if she has any plans to release new music in the future. “While I have no plans to make music right at this exact moment, do I think about it? All the time,” she said at the time. “Music has always been a huge part of my life, and if it makes sense to get back in a studio, it’s an easy yes.”
But, the actress also said that the music industry has evolved in the past few years and that it doesn’t fulfill her as much today. At least, that’s what she’s saying for now.
“But the music industry has changed quite a bit over the last few years,” she said. “I don’t feel as creatively fulfilled by music as much as I used to. I love the way Charli XCX writes about this.”
Frankly, you have to admit that a Hailee Steinfeld and Taylor Swift collaboration would be pretty cool at some point. Never say never to this superstar idea.
