00:00You have been all over my tik-tok FYP either at the heiress to her or doing a heiress to her recreation
00:06I need to know more about these backyard performances with this adorable young swifty
00:10I found this boy Kellen on Instagram actually his neighbor who puts up his stuff
00:16Saw me on Jimmy Kimmel talking about my love for Taylor Swift
00:18So she tagged me in it and I saw this little boy and I'm like, he's amazing. He's nailing all of her moves
00:22He has a really good voice
00:24like he's a really great talent and I don't have another heiress tour to go to for a really long time and they were like
00:29A couple hours away from this gig I was doing and they invited me to go see him and I was like
00:33I'll go hang out in your backyard
00:34So I was one of five people that was like in this kid's backyard watching him do a three-hour heiress tour with added songs
00:40And like nailing it all and was so impressive
00:44it was so fun and so wholesome and like as
00:46Someone who doesn't have kids like it made me feel like oh, it's nice to just make friends with the like
00:51I'll I'll I hopefully will watch that kid grow up and he'll be a part of my life and like I'm just it's just nice
00:57To meet Swifties. That's really what it's about
00:59I just like being around people that care about her as much as I do and he does I love that so much
01:03I'm also a Swiftie. That's how I've been seeing these videos. What's the next show you're going to on the heiress tour?
01:08I will be going to Miami. I'll be going I have a wedding there on in Florida on Saturday
01:13So I'm going Friday and Sunday, but like I would go Saturday, too
01:16If I could but my best friend's getting married, so I guess I have to go that what's your favorite surprise song that you've seen?
01:22um
01:24It would probably have to be I mean you're on your own kid
01:27I mean just singing that with everyone was just so emotional and then I think
01:33The first the first time I ever really hurt, you know
01:36when you like hear a Taylor Swift song the first time you may have heard it, but you're like I
01:40Hear it like it sinks in she played the lucky one when I was front row and it wasn't a song that I was that
01:45Familiar with because her catalog is so expansive and I kind of got on
01:491989 and forward I hadn't gone back and really gotten into it and that song just like
01:54Reminds me of my own experience in Hollywood and how it's like a
01:58Struggle and how you sometimes want to run away from it all and maybe you will and what would that be like and I that
02:03That song really sunk in for me that night. Yeah, you're in an amazing era of your career right now
02:08What Taylor Swift era would you say describes this era of your career in life? Oh, that's such a great question
02:14I think I am in
02:17I'm probably in lover because like I really love my
02:21Boyfriend right now, and I really love my life and I feel like
02:26This things are just going really well for me
02:29And I'm just like when's the other shoe gonna drop kind of thing and like I just it's not that I'm listening that album is
02:34I mean, I'm always listening that every album
02:36but that's just what I just I feel sunny about life and excited and um
02:40And I really feel like in love in my relationship and I've been in relation to sit with the same person for 11 years
02:46But I'm just now desperately in love with him
02:49It's just all dawned on me fine. I finally understand. I told him I was like
02:53I don't know the way I feel about you recently like I hear the song lover and it like makes more sense to me than
02:58It ever did and he's like we've been together 10 years like I don't know something else has changed
03:03I love that and we're celebrating the Emmys this weekend, but coming up you're hosting the Golden Globes
03:08What did you think when they brought that job to you?
03:10Oh, I thought they made a good decision because I am just I know what to do to make it great
03:16I know the amount of work that goes into it. I take it very seriously the job at hand
03:21I think I can strike the right tone of making fun of Hollywood by while also just completely
03:27Being sycophantic over it and being like I want you to like me, but also like what are we doing here?
03:31I think there's a good mix of that and um
03:34And I think enough people that will be there will recognize me but not really so it's a nice
03:39They'll be familiar enough that I'm not a totally fresh face
03:42I just think it's the perfect timing and although it scares me and it's like oh my god
03:45It's live and it's in front of all these famous people and it's you know a notoriously like hard room to do comedy in I
03:51just feel like
03:52My 21 year career has prepared me for this like just I've done tough rooms
03:57I can do this and it's I just feel really ready
03:59I love that have you reached out to anybody for advice to name any previous hosts?
04:03Yeah, you know what actually some have reached out to me Jimmy Kimmel reached out to me and just offered
04:08For me to reach out to him when the time is right he and his wife Molly and that was so nice
04:11so I will definitely be doing that Seth Meyers reached out to me and
04:15I'll be reaching out to Conan. I'm gonna reach out to probably Ricky Gervais
04:18I'm gonna reach out to seriously anyone who's ever done anything like this because it's just Chris Rock
04:23I mean like just anyone who's hosted things that I could possibly
04:27Get any advice from because I just know when I'm in positions to give advice
04:31It's just so nice when someone asked me for it and and these guys
04:35They've all killed so and hopefully I can find some way to get Tina Fey's email and ask her about it to her and Amy
04:41Yeah, that would be nice. But yeah, everyone's so nice
04:44It's been great. I love that. Thank you so much for talking to me
