00:00 How does it feel to be here this morning as one of our scholarship presenters?
00:03 Oh, I'm so touched to be here. I mean it's amazing.
00:06 We're giving away like
00:09 over a million dollars to high school seniors across all of LA
00:15 and I mean not just any high school seniors but the ones that have been
00:19 taking part in the Hollywood Reporter Mentorship Program,
00:21 the Women's Mentorship Program.
00:24 I'm so thrilled. I feel so lucky to be here around so many inspiring women and
00:29 to also be here to champion the new women in the entertainment
00:33 and see how they flourish and progress in this industry. It's amazing so I feel
00:37 very lucky to be here.
00:38 From Barbie, which you were in, to Beyonce and Taylor Swift, it's been a huge year
00:43 for women in entertainment.
00:44 What's your take on the way that women have dominated the industry this year?
00:47 I think it's incredible and it's about time.
00:51 Definitely. Now Adele is receiving a huge honor this morning.
00:54 What's one thing you love about Adele?
00:55 Well first of all she's our British Queen.
00:59 I just love her and I'm just such a fan of her music. She's got the most
01:03 unbelievable voice and her lyrics have always been very touching to me and
01:07 she's somebody I've always looked up to.
01:09 Something I love about Adele is that she's such a fangirl for other female
01:13 artists like Beyonce and the Spice Girls.
01:15 Who's one female artist that you've been fangirling over and just loving their
01:19 music lately?
01:19 I'm always fanning over Adele. That's just like, that's my queen.
01:23 Of course you released new music recently with Houdini. What is the fan
01:27 response been like to that song for you?
01:29 Oh it's been amazing. Unlike anything I've experienced, like
01:32 it was so intense and overwhelming when the song came out and I'm just, I'm so
01:38 so happy so I'm excited for more.
01:40 What can you tease about the more new music that's coming in 2024?
01:44 That there's more of it and we're gonna have a really good time and I'm just
01:47 gonna keep my cards close to my chest for now but I'll see you in the new year for sure.
01:51 We can't wait to hear it. Of course you also have Argyle coming out. So you've been
01:54 getting more into movies with Barbie, now Argyle.
01:57 Can we see more movie roles from you in the future and if so what kind of roles
02:00 would you love to take on?
02:01 Maybe. I think for now like music's my number one priority. I'm like
02:06 diving in head first into my new album. I've had the best,
02:10 most incredible experience working on both Barbie and Argyle
02:13 and I'm excited for everyone to see Argyle on February 2nd.
02:17 And in terms of what roles next, I don't know. We'll just see. We'll see.
