00:00Album of the Year is set to be the biggest award of the night.
00:04I know you're a musician, a music fan, who's your pick for Album of the Year?
00:09I have to go with short and sweet, Sabrina, no skips.
00:14I love that and so many big performances tonight like Sabrina, Chapel, who are you most excited to see perform?
00:20I'm excited for Charlie and of course Sabrina, I think what I love about her is that
00:26there's always something different with each performance and she just knows how to put on a good show.
00:32As a dancer, I'm going to put you on the spot, can you show me any dance moves you might be busting out during these performances in the crowd?
00:39Girl, let me think, I don't know, I feel just like a little side to side, you can never go wrong,
00:45and I feel like in these heels I'm a little limited with what I can do, but I'll hit that one for sure.
00:51I've been seeing clips of your music video for If I Were a Boy for a day and your moves in that are amazing,
00:57so talk to me about that song and just the new music you have coming out.
01:01Oh my gosh, well I think that's the perfect little sneak peek to what fans can expect from my debut EP
01:07and I'm super inspired by the 90s, 2000s and I just wanted to bring that energy to life
01:14and kind of introduce that to the girlies in 2025.
01:19So many of the nominees tonight like Chapel, Sabrina Charlie really dominated the cultural conversation last year online,
01:25who were you listening to last year?
01:28Ooh, I mean a lot of Sabrina, this year it's been a lot of Dochi, I'm so proud of her as well and so excited for her,
01:36I know she's nominated for Best New Artist, but it's just an incredible time to be a female in music
01:42and there's so many role models to look up to who are just killing it.
01:46Now last year it was Bratz Summer, then we had Jameerah Fall, I'm asking you because I feel like you're going to help me out with this,
01:52what's the vibe for Spring 2025, what are we feeling?
01:55Ooh, I feel like it's like classy springtime, like I don't know, maybe we got to pull back a little bit.
02:03Yeah, I don't know, I mean the vibes could change, I feel like we're back in our classy vibe though.
02:09And for you, you're getting ready to head out on tour right, with the Descendants cast.
02:13Yes, I'm so excited, my first tour, we're actually going to be playing Crypto here in LA in the summer,
02:20also like Madison Square Garden, which is like unreal, but I'm so ready,
02:25I feel like this is the project of a lifetime that I've been preparing my whole life for,
02:30so it feels so exciting and I'm so grateful.
02:33Well we can't wait to see that and hear your new music because I feel like you being here tonight at the Grammys
02:37is like manifesting Best New Artist coming up for you, Grammy nominations right?
02:42100%, that's exactly, I'm soaking it all in and I feel very inspired,
02:48but yeah, maybe I'll be looking back at this as like, oh my gosh, like little did she know, so I'm excited.
