00:00 How does it feel to be here this morning,

00:01 surrounded by so many other powerful women?

00:03 - Oh my God, I love being in the presence

00:05 of powerful women.

00:06 We're everywhere.

00:07 And I'm just so glad that we're getting the recognition

00:09 that everybody deserves.

00:11 So this event means a lot to me personally,

00:13 just because it's time, you know, it's about time.

00:16 So I'm happy to be here.

00:18 - Women in general had a huge year in entertainment in 2023

00:21 and you especially did with so many Grammy nominations.

00:24 I love the video of you finding out

00:26 about those Grammy nominations.

00:27 - Thank you so much.

00:28 It was such an emotional rollercoaster

00:30 and I'm still kind of doing it.

00:31 Every time I see someone for the first time

00:33 since that video, they're like,

00:34 they remind me a little bit, like you, you know,

00:36 saying congratulations.

00:37 So it always feels like another bit of emotion

00:40 and surprise for me.

00:41 So I'm having a great time

00:43 and this year has been so special.

00:45 I know my grandma, she's an angel watching out

00:48 and making all of these things happen.

00:49 She's up there formulating things.

00:51 So I'm just super happy.

00:53 - I love that so much.

00:54 And now that you've had some time

00:55 to let those nominations sink in, you know,

00:57 what do they mean to you?

00:58 How does it feel?

00:59 - Oh my God, it's been a lifelong dream.

01:01 As a little girl and as you wish to do anything,

01:05 you want to be at the top of that craft

01:07 and Grammys is, you know,

01:09 one of the most prestigious awards you can win in music.

01:11 And so to be even considered is just a really crazy dream

01:16 that has come to fruition.

01:18 So I feel like I've already won in a lot of ways.

01:21 - Have you started figuring out your Grammys outfit yet?

01:24 Like, are we in Grammys prep mode yet?

01:26 - Yes, well the first thought was my daughter's outfit

01:29 because she's also Grammy nominated as a two year old.

01:32 So I thought about her and like how she'll react

01:34 on the carpet and like trying to get her ready for this.

01:38 And then now we're onto mommy's outfit.

01:41 So yeah, we're planning already.

01:43 - That's amazing.

01:44 And like I said, we're celebrating women

01:46 in entertainment this morning.

01:47 Another singer songwriter, Adele,

01:49 is receiving a huge honor.

01:50 What's one thing you love about Adele?

01:51 - You know what?

01:52 I really love her ability to be the biggest superstar,

01:56 one of the biggest superstars in the world,

01:57 but also be so personable.

01:58 I feel like I know her even though I haven't met her.

02:01 And I think that's a special ability

02:03 to be able to touch the world,

02:04 but also have the world be able to feel

02:06 like they can touch you.

02:07 So I'm happy that she's getting her flowers today.

02:10 - And you've collaborated with so many amazing female artists

02:13 but who's someone you haven't gotten the chance

02:14 to collaborate with yet that you would love to?

02:17 - Adele.

02:18 (laughs)

02:19 Also another Grammy nominee, SZA.

02:22 I've been kind of trying to manifest this

02:25 but I'm a huge fan of SZA as well

02:26 and I think I would love to collaborate with her in any way.

02:30 - I always see the videos from your concerts

02:32 where you are singing "Stop"

02:33 and you say the things that we're gonna stop doing.

02:35 So I wanna know, what are we gonna stop doing in 2024?

02:38 - Stop self-sabotage.

02:40 You know, I think that some of our biggest enemies

02:43 live in our own heads.

02:44 And so we gotta look in that mirror in the morning

02:46 and be like, you got this, girl.

02:47 And you know, stop whatever fear-based actions

02:51 that would follow that.

02:51 So just live in confidence and trust in yourself, you know?
