00:00 Joining me now is one of tonight's big nominees, the one and only Coco Jones.
00:12 Now Coco, you've had a wild couple of years from starring on Bel Air on Peacock and celebrating
00:20 five Grammy nominations.
00:22 What emotions are running through you right now as you stand here on the Grammy red carpet,
00:26 a Best New Artist nominee?
00:29 Honestly, um, so many emotions.
00:32 I really am trying to keep it together.
00:34 I think I'm just reflecting on everything that got me here and it makes me emotional.
00:41 I just want to continue to inspire the girls who look like me to just keep pursuing because
00:47 all of this wouldn't have happened if I gave up and I'm just grateful I did not.
00:52 Are you having fun?
00:53 Absolutely.
00:54 I'm having fun.
00:55 I mean, it's crazy, but I'm having fun.
00:58 I'm laughing.
00:59 I'm trying to like stay jokey and goofy, but I'm also just like, this is such a moment
01:04 in my life that I will tell my children about one day.
01:06 So some, it's a mix of emotions, but it's so fun.
01:10 It's so beautiful.
01:11 It can be overwhelming, especially the first time.
01:14 And if you can take a breath and just look around and say thank you to higher power,
01:20 whatever, whoever it is that you, you know, look to now, there's so many huge stars here.
01:28 Their biggest song so far is ICU.
01:31 Who is going to be here tonight with that?
01:34 If you ran into them, you need to go to the ICU because you beat the star strike.
01:38 That is hilarious.
01:39 You know what?
01:40 I see so many talented people because I'm an artist, but I'm also a fan.
01:44 I love great music.
01:46 I love hard workers.
01:47 I love good people.
01:48 And so when I see other people that I support, it makes me feel like I might pass out.
01:54 I saw Victoria Monet.
01:55 She looks beautiful.
01:56 I just, I just saw Jelly Roll.
01:58 He's so fire.
01:59 I just, everyone, honestly, they work hard to get here too, you know, and I'm a fan of
02:05 people who don't give up on their dreams, who do their big one and who just make a moment
02:10 in time with their creativity.
02:12 So I'm, I'm passing out a lot today.
02:14 Everybody who got here didn't give up on their dreams.
02:17 Don't ever give up on your dreams.
02:18 Congratulations.
02:19 You're so insanely talented.
