NOW STREAMING: “Huntin’ Season”
The holidays are often a time when families get together, and more and more often, they gather in a room together and don’t talk to one another because they’re all pre-occupied with their cell phones. In fact, Mackenzie Carpenter has become so aware of it that she likes to sort of make a game out of seeing how long it takes people to realize they could be having a conversation instead of mindlessly scrolling or doing whatever it is they’re doing on their phones.
Mackenzie Carpenter – in room people on phones :18
“I’ve been having this social experiment lately where, like, I’ll be sitting in a room of people that I might know or I might not know, and I’ll look around and everybody is sitting there looking down on their phone. And so, I’ll just set my phone down and look up and just wait to see if anybody else will like look up or have a conversation.”
So, if you’re ever in a room with Mackenzie Carpenter, and she busts you for staring at your phone and ignoring everybody, maybe tell her you were watching her video for her debut single, “Huntin’ Season,” and she might let you off the hook.
