I was I played a big part in the creative and the sound and the visuals and everything so it was exciting for me.

Um, tonight particularly, Kelly Clarkson is pretty amazing but also I really really really love Kehlani. Like her music is some of my favorite and I think the way she talks about herself and her life on social media is is really really important for young people particularly young women to see so I'm really excited to hopefully meet her. I'm going to find her. I'm going to do it.

Ooh, um, this, this eyeliner right here. Dancing. Like I always wanted to be I always wanted to be a pop star and I always wanted to like do choreographed dances and do that for it was like the thing that I looked forward to the most and studied and watched for so long. So I am so excited to be doing it every night on stage. It's the coolest thing.

The most fun part about being a woman is that you get to just be whoever you want to be express our sexuality. We go out with your dance move right now. I know this dress isn't really forgiving but I'll give you a little yeah I can't I can't do a whole lot in this dress but I just think that we're in such a incredible time right now where women are just expressing themselves and being badasses in in the music industry and I think we're going to see a lot more of that and um I love being a woman and you get to just like dress up and do whatever you want. I mean girls just want to have fun, right?

Yeah exactly girls just want to have fun. How do you think music can change the world?

Music has been changing the world. It's the uh, freest form of art that we have. It frees your soul. It frees your nature. That's how we do.

Through music a lot of things are said and we are able to communicate um a lot that you know we're maybe not able to do through just speaking and talking. Um I think music is the universal language much like love is and uh I think it's just kind of one thing that we all can unite and um understand that everybody in the world has such an appreciation and love for music. And uh I think that it can heal the world because it's something that we all understand and something that we all really love.
