She looks like she's surprised and about to cry. Are you sure about her feeling empty?

Moments later she would tell her close friend just offstage, "This is all so boring without drugs".

Maybe empty is not the perfect word, but I'd say it's pretty accurate given what we now know.

Yeah it has probably more to do with dopamine immunity.

She felt it at that moment, and 2 seconds later it faded away because her brain is just so used to, not only it, but even bigger hits. The down would have been even worse by being reinforced by the fact that she was "supposed" to feel the high of fame/success, so you think about it not fulfilling you and it's just that even more depressing.

"Oh hey, this is nic-- and it's gone. Well that fucking sucks."

Shes trying to act surprised in the clip. If you watch her face it just doesnt seem genuine. Could be the hindsight but she looks to me like shes opening a present that she didnt want/already knew about and is trying to appear "grateful"
