00:00Congratulations, nominee, for your Broadway debut.
00:03What was your reaction when you found out about this nomination?
00:06I couldn't really believe it because when you look at the list of names that are
00:10also nominated for the category, I was like, how am I here?
00:14It's crazy. No, it's really, really amazing.
00:17What's coming up for you that you're excited about? I feel like you have been
00:21so booked and busy.
00:22So we have a new season of Love Island coming up. I'm so excited to go back for
00:26that.
00:27I absolutely love the show. I think it's such an incredible study in
00:31sociology and relationships and it's such a successful dating show. You look
00:36at these people who met last year, they're still together and they have
00:39these loving, beautiful, amazing relationships and I'm very proud of it.
00:44I'm very excited to go back.
00:45I've been asking people today, Brat Summer is coming up. Brat Summer was last
00:50summer, but what kind of vibes are we manifesting for this summer coming up?
00:53I do like Brat Summer.
00:58No, this is Mayhem Summer.
01:01Oh, yes, Lady Gaga.
01:03Gaga Mayhem Summer.
01:04That's what it is.
01:05Of course, she's receiving the Innovator Award today.
01:08What's your favorite Lady Gaga song?
01:10Oh my God, Summer Boy, Heavy Metal Lover.
01:16I've been a huge Gaga fan for a very, very long time.
01:22Judas, Alejandro, the list goes on and obviously on the new album,
01:27Abracadabra is incredible.
01:29I love, love, love the song, but I think that Disease, listen, I love Lady
01:35Gaga.
01:36We can't pick just one.
01:37If ever wants to be friends, I'll throw her my number.
01:42I don't know.
01:43She's the most incredible.
01:44I love her so much.
01:45Tonight might be the night to make it happen.
01:46You'll see me just creeping around.
01:50It'll be a video of Lady Gaga doing something important, and I'm just in
01:53the background waiting in the wings.
