Laufey Prank Calls Conan Gray, Reneé Rapp, Lukas Gage & Her Sister | Phoning It In

Laufey’s worked her whole life to not give off prank caller energy, which means her friends and family are in for a big surprise. In this episode of “Phoning It In,” the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter dials up the drama (and her acting skills) as she attempts to convince Reneé Rapp she owes $1 million in ransom for a lost cello, asks Lukas Gage to help cover up a food poisoning “scandal” she caused, and tries to talk her sister into secretly impersonating her at a photoshoot. She even pitches Conan Gray a co-headlining spot at a revamped Fyre Fest—because if anyone could make that work, it’s them.

00:00I've just been signing all day and I've been looking at photos of myself. I can't look at

00:04myself anymore. Hi, I'm Leve and this is Phoning It In with Elle. I am so unbelievably nervous.

00:15This is like a people pleaser's worst nightmare. If I'm pranking you, I love you so much and I'm

00:21so sorry. Okay, say you left your cello in a cab and they're asking for a million dollar ransom.

00:29So I'm going to call Renee Rapp.

00:35Hi sweetie, what's up? Honestly, I'm a little stressed and I just like wanted to call for

00:39advice. I feel like you always like know what to say. Yeah, what's wrong? Well, I left my cello

00:44in a taxi and I'm sorry, my heart is beating so fast. They're asking me for like, wait,

00:51I'm so sorry. I'm like, I'm like at a station right now. They're asking me for a million

00:55dollar ransom. You fucking bitch! I know you! I know you! I know this game! I know this

01:03goddamn game! You can't get me. I know, I know. I love you so much. That's why I called you.

01:10I love you. Go on, you're funny. That's beautiful. Okay, bye, you too. Bye.

01:14I definitely see a pattern of people calling people who've done it before because they're

01:18like the least scary options. Okay. Say you were approached to revamp Fyre Fest and ask if

01:26they'll headline with you. I'm going to call Conan Bray.

01:33Hey!

01:35Hey Queen, what's up?

01:36I have a super weird question.

01:39Huh?

01:40Okay, don't judge me though that I even like took this call, but do you remember Fyre Fest?

01:45Yes. Yes.

01:48Okay, so they're like doing a new version of it, but it's like, it seems kind of more cool. I think

01:54they're like looking to tap into like a Gen Z audience and they actually asked me to headline

02:03and they were like, do you know anyone who would want to do it too? And I was like, well,

02:07I feel like Conan would be down. So it would be like a double headline. I feel like they would pay

02:14like a lot.

02:16This is the Fyre Fest that like had the huge scandal, right?

02:19Yes. But like, I think it's like new management. They're like younger and cooler. I was like-

02:25Have they ever like done a successful Fyre Fest though? There was just the one that had like

02:29the documentary about it, right?

02:31No, they haven't, but they're like trying a new one. I don't know. They put me on like a Zoom call

02:35and they're all like, they're all Asian. So I think they're like looking to tap into like,

02:40I don't know, like some Weisians and stuff.

02:42Wait, I'm spooked.

02:44Kind of sold.

02:45You're so pranking me right now.

02:47No, I'm not.

02:48No.

02:50No, absolutely.

02:52There's no way.

02:55Okay, fine. I am pranking you.

02:59Tapping into the Weisians, I was like, what are we talking about right now?

03:03I don't know. I thought, I thought you'd be down, but I guess you are, you fake bitch.

03:08No, honestly, sign me up.

03:10Oh my God. Okay, bye.

03:15Weisian was such a good touch.

03:17Apparently that's where we lost him.

03:21Say your Leve caked up event caused a foodborne outbreak.

03:26I'm going to call Lucas Gage.

03:28Hello.

03:33Hello.

03:33Hi.

03:34How are you?

03:35I'm good.

03:36How are you?

03:37I'm actually not that good though.

03:39I have kind of a crazy, it's like, so I had this like fan event.

03:45It was like kind of, basically I baked a ton of cakes for it.

03:48And it's caught, like everyone's DMing me now and saying that they're like having diarrhea

03:54and like throwing up.

03:55And I'm really scared that I like accidentally spread something.

03:59And I'm like, no, I called Charlie and he's not picking up.

04:02He's at like, I don't know.

04:03He's like driving home from work or something.

04:05And I honestly, I do know.

04:06Like what did you spread?

04:07Like salmonella or?

04:08I don't know.

04:08Like maybe norovirus.

04:11I don't know.

04:11But everyone's like throwing up and shitting themselves.

04:14Should I like do a statement or something?

04:17I would deny, deny, deny.

04:19Would you do a live stream with me and be like, because you like have followers.

04:22Like would you be like, I was at the event and I didn't get sick.

04:25Just like so we can make it seem really like believable.

04:32I mean, I don't really have that many.

04:36Why are you laughing?

04:38No, if you need me to.

04:41I would do it for you.

04:42Is this one of these like, wait, hold on, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

04:46Is this one of these like L like prank phone call things?

04:49Wait, what's that?

04:52No, I'm kidding.

04:54I am.

04:54I'm doing one of them.

04:56Sorry.

04:58It's so fake.

05:00I would have done it.

05:02I knew you would have done it.

05:03I was just going down my contact list and I was like, who's not going to hate me afterwards?

05:08Oh my God.

05:08I did never hate you.

05:09Yeah.

05:10I love you.

05:10Bye.

05:11That was, that was good.

05:13I think I've worked my whole life to give the energy of not being a prank caller.

05:18So the prank call comes as like a really sweet, succulent surprise.

05:23Oh, oh, oh, oh.

05:25It's my sister.

05:28Hello.

05:29Hi.

05:30Wait, are you here?

05:32Wait, I, sorry, you are not in my headphone.

05:35How up for like the day are you?

05:37What are the options?

05:39I have a shoot and I like, I don't think I can make it because I have all these meetings

05:43in between and like, do you think you can do it?

05:46Like, do you think people would notice?

05:48Like if you come home and like take a shower and go straight and we can just like get you

05:52a car to the shoot.

05:53What?

05:53Wait, you can see it's in my schedule.

05:55What?

05:55Why would it?

05:56What?

05:57I don't know.

05:59No, we can't because someone flew in from New York to do it.

06:02And I just feel so disgusted.

06:05Yunya.

06:05Oh, no, no, no.

06:07I've just been signing all day and I've been looking at photos of myself.

06:11I can't look at myself anymore.

06:13Oh, no, no, no, babe.

06:14Where's this coming from?

06:16Can you just take the photos for me?

06:19I don't know.

06:20I can take the photos for you.

06:22No, but we can just do it.

06:24No, they won't.

06:24Because it's just like, it's meant to be like, like me in LA.

06:29Like, it's like my new city.

06:30And I feel like if the photographer just like gets you from the back or the side,

06:34like no one will notice.

06:35All right, would you be willing to talk to Max about this?

06:38Yeah, can you put me on the phone with Max?

06:41Yeah.

06:42One second.

06:43Hi.

06:44Hi.

06:45I'm sorry.

06:46I feel really bad.

06:47What's going on?

06:48I feel really bad to be doing this.

06:51But I just, I don't know, with all the promo today, and just, I signed like, probably like

06:5710,000 records.

06:59I don't want to take any more photos.

07:02Are you there right now?

07:04Not, not yet.

07:05I'm still, I'm still like in the car.

07:07Okay.

07:08Yeah.

07:08Let me, let me.

07:10Wait, Max, I feel really bad.

07:11I'm pranking you.

07:11I'm so sorry.

07:13I'm so sorry.

07:14I know.

07:14I see where you were, but I really couldn't go there.

07:18I know, and that's why it was an awesome prank.

07:20You were about to email someone, were you?

07:23Yeah.

07:24Oh.

07:25It was a good prank.

07:26Actually, Brian, it sounded like you were.

07:29It's because I'm an actress.

07:31I guess you are.

07:32Yeah.

07:33All right, bye.

07:36That actually went pretty well.

07:38I definitely got both of them.

07:40I wasn't even expecting to get my manager, but I did.

07:44Thank you so much for watching.

07:46Be sure to check out my new album, A Matter of Time, out August 22nd.
