Aerie holds a certain nostalgia for Mark, who said she would frequently visit New York City’s Broadway location as a teenager. She said the brand reminds her of the freedom she felt at the time, when she would explore the city with her friends.
The “Lose My Cool” singer has since taken on bigger adventures, such as touring her albumThree Dimensions Deepin the US, Canada and Europe. Mark, whose love for performing can be traced back to a high school after-school program, took the stage at Coachella in 2022.

“I think Sade just exudes this effortless beauty and her voice and her appearance, her style. So I think she’s probably the number one person,” Mark said.
The singer is closing out the year with big plans. She said her fans can “definitely” expect new music next year.
“I have so many songs that I’ve just been queuing up and ready to go,” Mark added.
And as far as a holiday album is concerned, Mark said she’s already been brainstorming for years to come: “I would love to.”
