Florence Welch can’t remember having “one of the best conversations of [her] life” with Beyoncé Knowles.
The singer has recalled hanging out with the global R&B sensation and her husband Jay-Z and explained that spending time with one of her musical icons felt surreal.
The 25-year-old would love to know what exactly they chatted about, hinting she may have had a little too much to drink at the time.
“One of the best nights of my life was with Beyoncé and Jay-Z - but I can't quite remember it all. I think we ended up at Jay-Z's gig at the The Yankee stadium, which was so amazing. Jay-Z invited us and we met him as he was going to the stage in his own golf buggy. He said to me, 'I'm going to put on a good show because you're here'. I was like, 'Oh my God! You're Jay-Z'. It was amazing,” she told British newspaper The Sun. "Beyoncé was just really, really sweet as well. I think I vaguely remember tequila and then apparently me and Beyoncé were talking for an hour or two in this place. I'm such a huge fan, I think it would have been one of the best conversations of my life, but I can't remember what it was about, because when she met my sister at another event, she was so polite and friendly. Beyoncé said to her, 'Oh, hi Grace, I've heard so much about you'. I wonder exactly what I was saying."
Florence is still living at home with her mother – and masses of clothes.
Despite her incredible success she has found it hard to fly the nest and admits she feels sorry for her family, who have to put up with her extensive wardrobe.
A muse to Chanel and Gucci, the 25-year-old described her garments as “invading armies” but said living with her family keeps her grounded.
"All this stuff has happened but I am still at home. I feel bad for my mum, especially because of my clothes. It's like a constant battle between me and my wardrobe. It's like invading armies of vintage clothes,” she said.
"I think about moving out constantly, but then again I'm never there. I'm always in a hotel. Also, I think it has been a slightly unstable time, especially touring. It's a nerve-racking process putting out a new record, travelling all the time, so having the stability of home is a really good thing…. It keeps me grounded. I'm 25 and I've got to move out before I'm 26. That's my goal now."
