The Sour Candy hitmaker then directed fans to her “finsta” account – a fake Instagram account – to hear all the latest about her future activities, adding: “P.S. Follow my finsta @vampirehollie to get quick updates and cute moments from the team!!! Go go go! (sic)”
Over on her finsta account, she wrote: “Hihi my number ones!!!!! Welcome to my finsta!!!! So my team will be sharing all upcoming news about my music and some cute moments here on this page! (I’ll chime in from time to time) Thank you all for waiting so patiently, but I am super excited to finally open this account. I hope we all have fun here.
