00:00
So hanging out with James Charles, who I like to also think of as like a king of Coachella.
00:04
Thank you!
00:05
And I mean, it's around the corner.
00:06
Are the outfits ready?
00:07
Are they planned?
00:08
Where are we?
00:09
I just had my first fitting yesterday, actually.
00:10
Okay, I have two of my three fits ready to go.
00:14
The third we're still working on, we're finessing, but they're going to be good this year.
00:18
Who's the set you're looking forward to seeing the most?
00:20
I know you've got a plan.
00:22
What is your favorite track on MAM?
00:24
I really like Blade of Grass, but I'm also obsessed with Abracadabra too.
00:28
Okay, I'm a Garden of Eden person.
00:31
Okay, okay, okay, that is a really good one as well.
00:34
All right, and I mean, she's being honored tonight, Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey.
00:37
How do you feel about seeing all those women get their flowers?
00:40
First of all, love it.
00:41
Women deserve flowers all the time, and I think that this is just such a special night
00:45
in music in general.
00:46
We're celebrating so many iconic people and so many genres that have shaped music and
00:49
the culture to be what it is today.
00:51
I mean, again, Gaga especially for me is somebody who literally raised me as a kid, so it's
00:55
so cool just to celebrate her every opportunity that we get.
00:58
And one thing I love about you is your consistency, right?
01:01
You are so great at pushing your music career and putting stuff out there.
01:04
What are you working on?
01:05
Okay, so I have new music coming.
01:07
It's going to be really, really fun.
01:08
I've had a couple of songs out already.
01:10
It's been really crazy just to see my fans' reaction.
01:12
Obviously, makeup has been my number one love and priority for so many years now.
01:16
But it's fun to do music.
01:17
It is, yeah.
01:18
And I think I'm not trying to rebrand myself to be some global pop star.
01:22
That's not my goal, although being on a Billboard chart would be great.
01:24
It would be nice.
01:25
It would be gorgeous.
01:26
But for me, it's just an opportunity to really retell a lot of the stories that have been
01:29
told for me online from my own perspective.
01:32
So it's taking back my power, telling stories about what it's like to be a queer man hoping
01:36
to find love one day like everybody deserves in the spotlight.
01:39
But at the same time, there's more to me than just being, you know, sad, gay, and single.
01:44
I'm still gay and single, but just not sad anymore.
01:46
I love that.
01:47
So there's more fun stuff coming.
01:48
Happy gay and single.
01:49
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
01:50
And then we have our Women in Music event at the end of this month.
01:52
We have Megan Moroney, Meghan Trainor, Money Long, Dolce, Gorillaz.
01:55
Who are those women you look up to or like?
01:57
Literally all of the above.
01:58
Hello.
01:59
I'm a really big Gorillaz fan right now.
02:01
Let me tell you, like, bitch, I'm from Memphis, but you know about me.
02:04
Big G-L-O and that G-L-A.
02:06
I'm excited.
02:07
I can't wait.
02:08
All right.
