"That's what's really cool about what Puma's been doing lately. It's all these pieces that you know are going to look good together, so it's just kind of throwing this on, throwing that on," the singer said.

"I mean, at this point, my boyfriend and I share closets, and [we're] just kind of throwing different ideas around," she added. "Sometimes I'll throw on his Puma stuff and just go out with my shoes. I'll just wear that as a little cute date-night dress or something to the movies. You want to feel confident in it."
