Talking about the end of the world in a chicken shop seems like a fitting way to end 2022.

That's exactly what gloom monarch Phoebe Bridgers did on Chicken Shop Date with Amelia Dimoldenberg, released on Christmas Eve.

"I think it’s ending now," says Bridgers. “There’s not going to be fireworks and people falling into the Earth’s centre, I think it’s going to be a long and painful death.”

The Punisher singer songwriter talks about everything from her biggest fears to liking all animals but cats to heartbreak and possibly selling tissues as merch.
