Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are turning loss into creativity.
The couple, who first found fame on the reality series The Hills, lost their home in the Pacific Palisades wildfire. Amid the tragedy, the pair turned to social media to share their journey and encourage fans to stream Montag’s previous music as a way to help them rebuild.
Since then, Montag’s 2010 album Superficial surged to No. 1 on social media and iTunes. To celebrate, the couple joined Billboard‘s Tetris Kelly during a TikTok livestream to discuss what they have in store in the upcoming months, including some more new music. “We just actually had one of the most famous writers and producers reach out to us, and I recorded it yesterday,” Montag revealed. “They asked us not to specify who they are […] We’re really excited, and there’s a lot of stuff in the works. We really want to focus on getting a portion back to the community too, so we’re trying to figure out how to incorporate charities into everything we’re doing.”

Montag also thanked fans for their support in a video posted to TikTok and Instagram on Saturday night, “Thank you so much to everyone, No. 1 on iTunes charts, oh my gosh. Thank you for the overwhelming love and support of my music and really rallying behind us in this devastating time and making it such a blessing.”
“Thank you for helping support us, helping build us back up, helping to encourage us, give us that hope and faith and excitement in such a dark, dark time,” she added, noting the “crazy” timing of it being the album’s 15-year anniversary.
