00:00How are we holding up?
00:01I'm doing great. I feel so wonderful.
00:04Did you get a nice time off?
00:06I did. I spent time with family. It was nice.
00:09You have been working hard these past couple of months.
00:12Now that you had some time to decompress,
00:13like what is jumping out to you about this whole Amelia Perez run
00:18that you've had these past few months?
00:19These nominations, the awards?
00:22It's been wild, you know?
00:25I think we all signed on to do a project with Jack Odiard,
00:29who is known for making great films,
00:31and this was really resonating with people.
00:35So I'm very proud.
00:37I have to ask you about this woman standing to your right.
00:41You guys had a nice moment at Chanel,
00:43and then tonight she ran over.
00:44Tell me what this has been like
00:45to spend some extra time with Ariana Grande.
00:47It's just so crazy,
00:48because we're experiencing things at the same time.
00:52We never grew up together personally,
00:56but we feel like we have.
00:57So I think it's just really nice to be like,
01:00are you nervous? Yes. Are you nervous? Yes.
01:02But I'm proud of her, you know?
01:04Which is amazing to hear you say that,
01:06because of the stages that you've been on,
01:08the tens of thousands of people you perform in front of.
01:10Same for her, that you guys are still nervous
01:11stepping into these new experiences
01:13after all of the global stages you've been on.
01:17I totally respect, though,
01:19the choice to want to take your life in a new direction,
01:22and I think that's what I'm so grateful for.
01:25And the fact that you guys both did musicals.
01:28You're both singing.
01:29Random. I'm telling you, the whole thing's adorable.
01:33Did you see Wicked yet?
01:35I did, yes. What do you mean?
01:37I think it hasn't over?
01:38It should be a sin not to.
01:41Oh my God, are you kidding me?
01:44Breathtaking. I cried.
01:45I should have taken a picture,
01:46because I saw online those trends were happening,
01:49and I should have taken a picture,
01:50because I just sat there,
01:51and I was like, I don't even know what to do.
01:54But it was fantastic. Sorry, yes.
01:57Last fun question.
01:57Are you a New Year's resolution intentions kind of person?
02:00If so, did you set any?
02:03I just really want to continue to be with great people,
02:07be healthy, and just enjoy my 30s.
02:13And also enjoy your engagement.
