We were first introduced to Alessia Cara back in 2014, with her massive hit "Here" — which has now been streamed hundreds of millions of times. Since then, Alessia has put out many more bops. From "Scars to Your Beautiful" to "Stay," she's climbed up the charts — all while staying true to herself and the values that made her famous in the first place.

Alessia, whose new album The Pains of Growing is out now, sat down and answered fan questions while playing with puppies. Check out our interview to hear her talk about her best/worst celeb encounter, how she keeps her hair so perfect, and what it was like hangin' with Taylor Swift:
