Growing up, Harlow developed a strong appreciation for music. She was an avid fan of rock and synth-pop, admiring bands such as Led Zeppelin, Queen, Rush, The Who, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, and The Beatles. Above all, she had a particular fondness for The Cure, whose music deeply resonated with her. In addition to rock, she cultivated a love for classical music and ballet, studying dance from a young age. Her early ballet training led many, including her parents, to believe she might pursue a professional dance career. Interestingly, she once dreamed of becoming an astronaut, though modeling ultimately became her chosen path.
