00:00Oh my gosh, you look incredible. You look like the Moon Man.

00:03Oh my god, maybe I'm going to win tonight. I am nominated. Just kidding, no I'm not.

00:07When someone wins, you get to come out.

00:09I just kind of jump into their arms, and that's always been my goal from day one.

00:14I heard you say that this is your third VMAs.

00:17My third.

00:18What's it like to be back?

00:20It feels strange that I've been here three times now.

00:24I don't feel like, I feel like I've snuck in three times, that's the truth.

00:27Except there's so much security outside that you can't really sneak in here,

00:31but I feel very honored, I feel very grateful, and excited to watch

00:35all of the incredible performances that are going to be shown tonight.

00:38Oh my god.

00:39It's going to be crazy. This is 40 years of the VMAs, can you believe?

00:44So I wanted to ask, what was one of your earliest memories of either watching

00:47or maybe your first time that you were here?

00:49Lady Gaga, Bleeding on Stage, VMA 2009, She Sings Paparazzi.

00:53One of the most iconic VMA performances of all time, I will never forget it.

00:56MTV just put it back on YouTube, and I've watched it 12 times since that day.

01:01Obsessed.

01:02Well, that's what I was going to ask.

01:03I was going to ask your most iconic MTV performance that you've seen,

01:06so you would say that one.

01:08I also wanted to say another new category is Best Trending Video.

01:11So I was wondering if you had a trending song or video for the summer

01:16that you've been loving.

01:17Well, it's very new, but tastes Sabrina Carpenter.

01:20I mean, come on.

01:21I know that's kind of end of summer moment, but it's been a Sabrina summer, let's be real.

01:26And I'm so happy for her.

01:27Are you going to her concert?

01:29Probably.

01:30Jesus.

01:31I'm sure I'll be at 12 of them or something like that.

01:34Yeah.

01:35Finally, I wanted to ask, I know you had opened up a little bit about just being vulnerable

01:39more on social media and kind of like all the haters out there.

01:42So what advice would you give for other people that are also kind of in the same boat?

01:45Like, how do you just like not let it get to you and just kind of keep pushing?

01:49Oh, baby, I let it get to me every time.

01:51My advice to you is cry about it and post your tears, but also let yourself be vulnerable.

01:56That's really the truth of all of it is I don't think trying to ignore it or pretending

02:01like it doesn't hurt you is ever really effective.

02:04And that's why I decided to be vulnerable and show people how I was feeling about all

02:08of it.

02:08And now I'm at the VMAs.

02:10So things are going okay.

02:11Shout out to the haters because they're kind of just fans, right?

02:13Yeah, they're the reason I'm here.

02:16Where am I?

02:16Where are you?

02:17But also, I am here because so many people continue to love me and show support.

02:22And that's what matters to me.
