I came up with the idea for [the fake relationship] last week, Lowndes tells EW.
I thought maybe it would get some traction but I wasnt expecting it to blow up like this.
Then on Monday afternoon, after trending on Twitter and Facebook, becoming the subject of the celebrity-focused podcastWho?
Weekly, and igniting cries of April Fools!
I know its still the last week of March, but it is too early to say April Fools?
she asked in anInstagram video.
I also wanted to do something funny and crazy for my fans.
So you knew how to keep a secret withA Deadly Adoption.
How did you keep this video under wraps?
I produced the video, bought all the props.
I also love pop-up videos.
Did you come up with the captions for those yourself?
Jon wrote his bubble that says, Has erectile dysfunction got you down?
I just wanted to come up with funny tongue-in-cheek things that would make people laugh.
I was shocked by the people in my life who believed me and were congratulating me.
I thought people were going to know it was a joke but no one did.
Were you surprised at the reaction?
The relationship blew up online.
It goes to show you how ridiculous the whole system is.
How about the backlash you received?
Have you spoken to Jon since the video came out?
I saw him this morning; were doing interviews together.
So I sent him the song and he was on board.
It was the best day ever on set.
Theres a power in being silly and not caring how silly you look.
Did you ever consider someone else for Jons role?
Together we came up with the treatment.
Initially, Jon was the first person I thought of.
It had to be him; his facial expressions make the video.
Hes a comedic genius.
Whats next for you musically?
My next single will drop in a few weeks.
Hopefully a full album will come towards the summer and then Id like to go on tour.
