Okay, what's your favorite part? You like the feathers? Like the glasses?
Truthfully, I like the zipper that's broke right now that I can't touch because this whole thing will just come unraveled. Um, I really enjoy the pants. I'm not a bell bottom girl, but I'm going to rip them again. But it's giving Bellbottoms today, which I love. Um, the wings, the shirt and the glass, the head if the head thing was more comfortable and probably my favorite part.

I did just see, forgive me if I say her name on Brandi Carlile. Right. Brandi Carlile, isn't that her name? Yeah, I just, Okay. I'm gonna sound like I didn't know who she was until like two weeks ago. I saw her on instagram and I was like, this chick seems cool and then I started following her now. I think she's awesome and she's right there and I might have hit her with your father. I'm not gonna lie. I did. I probably everyone's getting everyone's getting one of these tonight.
Okay. And thanksgiving is come. So, if you could have five people, I know that's a lot. But five people dead or alive at thanksgiving dinner. Besides your family. Who would it be? No family, no friends. So don't get offended if you're not included in this

Well, congratulations on everything you're doing and thank you so much and welcome back to young Hollywood red carpet. We were at the High School Musical premiere since then, lovely. Just lovely, busy.
Yeah, I'm working on some more. So, it's fun.
Are you filming right now, are you?
I think I can say that. I I've said it three times now. So I hope I don't get in trouble for saying that, but I think it's announced that we're like a Madelyn cline Remember she gave away the date of Outer Banks a new season. That's you right now. Like giving away
No, no, no, no, no.
It's known that we're filming. I mean if it's not, you know that people are going to see that we're in Utah So connect the thoughts.
Wait, so you got, did you fly in for this?
I've got to be here for thanksgiving. So I'm here for yeah.
Are you looking for thanksgiving?
I'm so excited for thanksgiving. I'm always excited for a good thanksgiving meal. A good thanksgiving dinner. I'm not going to get to be with the family this year. So I'm gonna have a good friends giving
my gosh. Okay. Who is your friends giving um
some zombies people, zombies three. Uh, my best friend in the entire world, Anthony's chapel with, he's on love victor on hulu. But that's Disney property. I can say that. Yeah, I'm probably going to spend some time with him and the Disney kids are friends.
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I feel like it's one big happy family. Okay. Are you a fan of Elton john?
Of course I'm a fan of Elton john If anyone is not a fan of Elton john I need to speak with you and make you a fan of Elton john know his music is so wonderful and beautiful and everything about him is just extraordinary.
Have you met him?
No. And for some reason there was a part of me. I thought that that might happen tonight and I don't think it's going to, but I hope it does. But no, I've never met him.
He was standing right here. What would you say to him?
You know? I hoped I could meet him. But I didn't think about that question. I would just ask him to sing for me. Like that's, that's all I just asked him. If I could hear him start serenading you, could you sing right now? Right now? The entire show for me personally,
are you a fan of?
I am. I am. And you know what's actually uh so bad is I was, I was trying, I was talking to my friend about this that I came with and I was like, what's my favorite song? And then I couldn't name anything. Sorry. You know, if you're watching this, I'm so sorry, but I do love your work. You're, you're so wonderful.
Okay. And if you could have Elton john on an episode of High School Musical, what song would you want to sing with him?
Oh my goodness, Your song absolutely. Your song. That's one of my favorite songs ever. I mean, I feel like singing any song with Elton john would be iconic. But yeah, your song.
Okay, well, we need that immediately immediately. Ellen High School Musical because E J E J. Name stands for Elton john. His nickname and season three is Rocketman totally butchered that. Did. It should have been that one. Can we read? No. Okay, thank you so much, enjoy the show.
Thank you so much. You look so good. You look so good. The skirt. I honestly had no idea that sparkles was going to be a thing and I bought this and it would be cute and everyone was like, I did good.
I had a bit of a heads up because I've had friends who would like this will be their third night and they're like, it's sequence and its feathers galore. So I was like, alright, what's my sparkly ist stress? Let's go. How long did it take you to get ready?
Two hours? 2. 5 Half hours. I did it myself tonight. So I'm slower than the pros obviously because I'm just doing this with my liner. But yeah, probably get 2. 5 hours.
You have the national treasures here in this series coming up about that. We're so excited, so excited.
I know it's been a long time in the making from movies were 15 years later. This has been in the works for a long, long time. So to get to finally bring it to life and show it to people and expand this world. We're all so excited
when you got casted. How did you feel?
I mean nervous? Like it's a big legacy, right? There's like a weight on your shoulders and you really want to do the fans service and they've had to wait so long for any type of expansion. So there's definitely pressure, but also to kind of get to make it your own because we're expanding. We're not rebooting. That was really exciting and cool. Like I didn't have to follow a blueprint. I kind of just got to go in and make my own character and how big of an Elton john fan or you mean like everybody grew up singing him like when I four years old and on, I was rocking out to him in the car. Obviously today I would say a pretty big fan, I'm really big into musical theater and he has such a footprint in the musical theater world as well. So yeah, a man's a legend. He's a national treasure.
What's your favorite Ellen johnson?
No, I just, I knew I was gonna get this question. Um, I want to plead the fifth cause I don't think you can choose. But I want love is really good written in the stars from Aida breaks my heart every time I hear it. Obviously your love, all of them, all of this goes on. He could sing to me what he had for breakfast and it would be in contention for my family. That's the new one. I'm gonna be belting at the top of your lungs.
Are you do leave a fan?
I am though. I have to admit, I don't know, a ton of her music, but I've heard that she's gonna be here tonight, so I just can't wait to see her dancing alongside Elton because that girl can move Tiktok. She's cute. Dancing was always well, yeah. She's insane. Like you watch her on. Just repeat. So, yeah, I'm really excited to see her. And then who else all the other surprise guests are? I don't even know. The doctor said he's probably bringing out something. I know. I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind like seven or eight times tonight. So if you find it anywhere, let me know. Yeah. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.
