Isabela Merced Confesses to Having a Secret Stan Account on IG

I don't know if you remember but I interviewed you for let it snow when you were in the studio.

Yeah, I remember. I remember yeah. It was a good time.

Oh, you look so good. I like your shirt.

Oh, thanks. I don't remember where I got it. I just I like the graphics on it.

Do you find that you're going through your closet while you're at home and you're like, oh, I didn't even know I own this.

Oh yeah. And I also like I've kind of been cleaning up around the house, but I also have been ordering more like online clothing than ever and just online everything. I'm just addicted to the shopping. It's bad. I also got a wig that glows in the dark. Like why would I need a wig that glows in the dark? Why would why would anyone need that?

When you go back to like doing things at night and everything. You're going to be prepared. You're going to be like, oh, I I was I stocked up.

Maybe yeah, maybe I'll use it for like a music video if I'm like

You filmed a music video for your recent single in your room.

I did. I did in my house. Yeah, in my backyard too at the end of the video the wedding. That's my backyard.

That the video is sick. It turned out really really good.

Thank you. Yeah. I know it was my like it was me and it was my friend Chaz who actually did Nickelodeon's like 100 things to do before high school with He played my crush in the show. Um we're like really good friends in real life and we have been for maybe six years now. And I've always loved his just work in general. So I trusted him to kind of take such a limited just opportunities you know, because you don't have a lot of freedom and kind of make something amazing out of it.

When you're chilling out around the house. Are do you play your own songs? You don't hardly ever play yours?

Um well, I'm always hearing my brother's cuz he's a producer and he's in the studio and he blasts it so loud I feel so bad for our neighbors. But um, I only ever I'm like very quiet and shy with my songs and it's still hard for me to play them for people like I have to leave the room if I play it for them. But I'll um, I'll just like have my air pods on I'll be like playing it and I'll be kind of whispering the song into my phone or my laptop. Whereas he's just like out in my brother's just out in the open just blasting it. I don't even know how he does it. So.

Isn't it weird though like how you're like low key and everything but you know thousands of people are streaming your songs once you put it

That is it's so weird and I don't like to like for that reason I don't like to keep track of the streaming. I mean it's good. My label will reach out to me when it's hitting some cool like records and numbers and and what not. Um but other than that, I don't watch it every day. I don't try to like watch the numbers go up because it really makes me so nervous. But um, Yeah other than that it is it's just like Yeah, I kind of feels intrusive a little bit like releasing this project and and kind of knowing that I it's all you know, 100% what I feel and what I've experienced is definitely a weird feeling, you know.

What is one song that you want to write about?

I feel like the topic so it's going to sound really weird and it might be a little controversial but I want to write about um daddy issues. I want to write a song called Daddy Issues. Um, because I feel like there's no one that really talks about it. And if they do it's like one line in the song and it's sassy and it's cute. But I want to like expand on it and kind of make a joke about it because all of us have it in some way like men, women. So, yeah.

Who is one person that you'd want to collab with or that you'd want to write a song with?

I mean, okay. I've always wanted to collaborate with Eva Iyon. She's like a famous Afro-Peruvian singer. Rosalia, I would love to collaborate with Rosalia. She just did one with Travis Scott, right? Yeah, she did. I feel like she I feel like she also like collaborated with Frank Ocean on this song I am though. I don't know if that's confirmed. But I think she wrote the lyrics for that too. So she's like kind of kind of going into the American music route. So that's that's cool. I mean, I I like that she's still speak or sings in Spanish, you know, she stays true to her roots.

And then real quick. We saw on your IG that you did that you you were like singing to Rihanna with a taser.

Oh my God. So yeah, I have this really good.

You got a taser.

So I got a taser because I like realized that I don't have anything really to defend myself within my house. And I have been sleeping with like a big knife next to my bed. Okay. It's a long story. I basically had like really creepy stalkers and I was really worried and I just I mean we have a good security system. But just in case I wanted something to defend myself with so I got a taser and then all of a sudden I was like I was learning how to use it and I have this really crazy side of me that comes out only at night and she's I don't even know who she is. I just know that she's this she's like I call her She's got like this crack head energy and she's there all the time like bubbling at the surface. But she only comes out at night. And that's like kind of kind of you got a little taste of her in that video. So she's my she's my Sasha Fierce.

I love it. Well this is a day with Isabella. Okay. A day with Isabella. Okay. So, the very first thing you do when you wake up?

Um, I'm not proud of this, but I usually go on Instagram or I'll start listening to my podcast about crime. That's

start the day with some crime. Got it. Okay. Yeah. Good to good energy. Good energy for the day. Okay, once you get out of bed, where do you go in the house?

Straight to the Oh, no, no, no, I'll go to my dogs. Well, I get a cup of water and I'll take my dogs and I'll take them out to pee and then I'll go inside and I'll like beg my mom for dinner to make me dinner cuz I don't want to I don't want to eat cereal.

You mean she makes you mean breakfast.

At breakfast, breakfast, that's what I meant. I meant to say breakfast. Um, I eat breakfast for dinner. That's probably why I said that.

Then after you do that after you eat your breakfast leading into that, do you work out? Do you make music? What do you do?

Um, I'll usually get started on like something music related. Uh, definitely um, I'll avoid if I don't have to do like formal things, maybe take videos. I'll just keep my makeup off for the rest of the day. Yeah. I'll start working on maybe promo or planning my posts for the week or even just like writing. Um, and then I'll probably yeah, that's that's pretty much it. Work. Plenty to do.

What's one thing that you always try to do or maybe you realize you don't realize it, but you always do before noon.

Quarantine's got me real crazy. Um and not my days are not really kind of solidified. They used to be when I had a workout schedule and I wanted to be kind of solidified. Oh, I'll do what I do and I plan on doing this every day because my doctor told me that I have a vitamin D deficiency. So I'll just like go out in the sun and I'll lay there for like 15 minutes front and back and my dogs will do it with me. My dogs will go with me and they'll like tan with me basically and they'll get the vitamin D that I need.

Well, that's good. Tanning's good anyways.

Yeah, well, I mean not too much cuz then like skin cancer but but just 15 minutes each side, 20 minutes each side, maybe vitamin D get back in the house. I don't know. I might start gardening.

Probably a good idea. You can get your vitamin D while you're planting the garden.

Exactly. Exactly. But I won't like I don't want to get any weird tan, so I'm going to wear like a crop. I'll wear one of those like tube tops, I don't get a weird tan line.

How many times a day do you think you open the Instagram app?

Oh, way too many times. I have five accounts on Instagram.

Why have five?

Well, if you consider my dogs and then you can consider like my two other, like I have a spam account and then I have like a Finsta and then I have my real one. So yeah, that's five.

How many followers do you have on your Finsta?

Um, not too many. I don't want to say the exact number because then they can find it.

You don't have to you don't have to say but

But I don't really like not too many, but I follow the people I follow my Finsta. I follow like 2000 people. I follow a lot of people cuz it's it's kind of your main IG too.

Yeah, I do.

But my main IG I like never go through my feet. I just like cuz then when strangers come up to me that I just met at a party or something. They're like, can you follow me on Instagram? I don't have to be rude about it and say like no, I don't I won't want to because I never go through that feed so I can. I just like follow them and they it makes their day. And it's not a weird interaction. And then I can go back to my Finsta feed where it's like catered to me. And it's like

Look at you. You're living in 2030. Just kidding.

I don't even know if Instagram will be around still in 2030. Who knows?

I know. Who knows? Who will reign supreme?

Post sunset activity.

Ah, nothing good. Um, not. That's when the taser comes out. No, okay. Well, she comes out like after midnight. Maybe maybe maybe 11 is kind of like early bird. Yeah, I call her Yolanda. Um, but no, it's like post sunset is kind of where I chill. I start relaxing because that's when I eat my dinner. Um, I eat my dinner really late. I don't know why I do that. I probably shouldn't. But um, when I eat my dinner, ooh, it's usually Peruvian food like last night. I had ceviche. So bomb. Like I just eat. I love eating and it's like my favorite part of the day. Um, so I'll just do that and then I'll watch like a show with my mom. We have a few shows that we're watching right now and we'll the dogs will be on the couch too. Remember the dogs. Um, and then and then the night begins. And nothing good happens. But yeah.

Very last thing you do usually before you go to bed.

Oh, very last thing that I do. Oh, I'll like it's probably really bad for you. It's so bad for you. I don't do anything productive in quarantine. But I'll like watch an episode of something or maybe I'll listen to my crime podcast, which loves which definitely guarantees a good night's sleep. No nightmares at all. I swear. I promise. And Yeah, and um, but like my lately my go-to has been an episode of Avatar to like go to bed and have some crazy dreams about movies and like having powers and stuff. A lot of my dreams depend on what I do right before I go to bed. Yeah.

Well, you start your day with the crime and you end up with the crime and have a taser in between. That's pretty much what I got from all of that.

Yes. And I yeah, I have a taser and then I eat a lot with your puppies. Yes. And tan with that. Yeah, that's my whole day.
