Yes! Yes! That makes me honestly even more excited than the Queen of Coachella because Halloween is my favorite holiday.

Oh, I know. I'm not over-exaggerating. I actually have a little rapid-fire game going back to that.

Oh. I got really excited.

I'm very excited. Oh. So, okay. Here we go. Favorite Halloween costume you've ever worn.

Costumes don't really do it for me. It's more about like I I love throwing parties. I It's like if I was an actress, I always say I would be an event planner because I love creating environments for parties.

Oh, I love that.

Um so, I would have to say, honestly, I think my favorite costume that I've done was when I was really young, I would dress up as Catwoman because I saw saw Michelle Pfeiffer do it. So, I think this year I'm going to try to find a legit like full-body latex Catwoman costume.

Oh, I love that idea.

Trying to find it. So if anyone knows a place or can make it for me, I'm searching for you. Meow.

Okay, favorite Halloween costume you've seen on someone else. So, would it be the Catwoman costume? I mean Has anything stuck out to you over the years?

Yeah. I do want to congratulate you on the show because this is our first time hanging out with you this whole time that you've been um a guest judge. So, are you just loving it? Is it just like so much fun?

I am. I mean, I grew up dancing. I was one of those kids who my mom would drop me off at the dance studio at like 3:00 p. m. and then pick me up at 9:00 p. m. because I would spend all day there taking all different styles of dance and it's something that I hold very close to my heart and I love being able to be here and be able to give these amazing dancers some helpful information as to what I think will help improve their careers.

Yeah, for sure. So would you say that's like your favorite part? Being able to give back to the dancers, you see?

Yeah. I mean, to be able to make someone's dreams come true is like That's so cool. What more could you want? Like that's That's amazing. For sure. Um but no one told me about the fact that after an elimination, I would go home and cry about it.

What does a winner look like to you? What does a winner embody?

Um someone who is extremely diverse, someone who can do it all, and um someone who has extreme joy in what they do and uh can convey a story without any words.

This happened such a long time ago, but I do have to ask, Vanessa, we saw a fan created a High School Musical 4. Like with a reunion video. What was your reaction? Can we just ask you, please?

I was like

You're like, did I sign on to this and not know?

I was like, what? What? No, I saw it on Monique's Instagram, actually, and I kind of died. I loved it.
