00:00 So it's the first live show of the season.
00:01 Who do you think is the coach to beat right now?
00:03 Ooh, gosh.
00:04 You know, this has been one of those epic seasons
00:07 where everybody has incredible people.
00:10 It sounds generic to say that, but I swear.
00:12 Like, we had so many four-chair turns.
00:14 It was like-- it was kind of insane this season.
00:17 Everyone's so good.
00:18 Everyone here deserves to be here.
00:20 So I think we're all the coaches are just like, we have no idea.
00:24 I mean, I have a couple in my mind that just blow my mind
00:28 because of certain things, like maybe their age
00:30 or-- you know what I'm saying?
00:33 But it is going to be an epic lives.
00:36 It's just going to be an amazing concert.
00:38 So Chance the Rapper, he's back as a top 12 mentor.
00:41 So what makes him the perfect mentor?
00:43 Well, Chance and I got to hang one day.
00:46 And I actually met him with Blake
00:49 on his rap of the voice, like graduation of the voice.
00:53 I don't know what you want to call it.
00:55 That night, and that was my first time meeting him.
00:58 But he is just a really creative guy.
01:01 You know, he hears everything.
01:02 He sees everything.
01:03 He's got production kind of like clout
01:08 at the same time as a songwriter.
01:10 And I just think he is just really great to give advice,
01:13 you know, mostly because he's just a creative guy.
01:17 OK, now another former mentor you've worked with
01:20 is Taylor Swift.
01:22 Do you have a particular favorite memory
01:24 when you worked with her?
01:25 Yes, I remember the first time working with her,
01:28 being such a fan, because she's just such an amazing songwriter.
01:31 It's weird to be in the future now.
01:33 She's like ruling the whole planet.
01:35 And I'm so happy for you.
01:38 But it was just cool to get to know her.
01:41 I didn't know her at all.
01:43 You know what I mean?
01:43 I just knew her from her songs.
01:45 And then from that first season of working with her
01:47 to the second season, it was like even more growth
01:50 had happened.
01:51 So just amazed by her as a songwriter,
01:54 amazed now by her as a live performer
01:56 to be able to do what she's done around the world.
01:58 It's insane.
02:00 And I listen to folklore all the time.
02:03 It's an amazing record.
02:05 OK, so recently-- I'm not sure if you've seen the video--
02:07 but Cher surprised Julia Roberts with a hug during an interview.
02:12 And we have deja vu, because it reminds us of when Julia was
02:16 starstruck by you back in 2001 on the red carpet.
02:20 So looking back, what do you remember about this moment?
02:23 I'll show it to you.
02:25 You don't even have to show me that picture.
02:27 That will be always imprinted in my brain.
02:29 I don't have a lot of memory, but that one is there.
02:32 Julia Roberts at that time was already a legend for us.
02:37 I think that was one of my first red carpets.
02:40 So just being out there and having her hugging me--
02:44 and I remember I was looking at the camera going,
02:47 dad, it's Julia Roberts.
02:50 And just being like, wow, this is happening right now.
02:52 Because still, even to this day, she's such an incredible actress
02:57 and just seems like such a beautiful person.
02:59 And yeah, that happened to me, guys.
03:02 That happened to me.
03:03 And you're in such good hands with Cher,
03:05 her fangirling over both of you.
03:07 How does that feel?
03:08 Well, I actually got to present an award to Cher at one point.
03:11 I don't know exactly what it was.
03:12 Probably some kind of I'm the greatest person in the world
03:15 artist, everything award.
03:17 And so I got to meet her then.
03:19 I was really nervous, because I'm not really--
03:21 I'm so honored to be able to do those things.
03:23 But it's not my favorite to speak.
03:27 I'm like, here I am.
03:29 But it was incredible to meet her.
03:31 And then I got to see her again perform at the Met Ball.
03:35 And that was incredible, because she was just right there.
03:37 And she was just so her.
03:39 It's like, she's such an icon.
03:41 It sounds generic to say that.
03:42 But she is the true definition of that.
03:45 Thank you so much.
03:46 Oh, I think you are an icon.
03:48 Thank you so much.
