00:00You look so good, as always.

00:01You look so good, as always.

00:03I really love, I've been loving a sequin moment recently.

00:06I was almost going to do one, but I went for silk.

00:08I went a little silky.

00:10Well, thank you. I appreciate that.

00:12I'm always inspired by, you know, our sequin heirs to her queen, Taylor Swift.

00:17Of course, you're kind of giving midnights.

00:19Stop it. That's so nice.

00:21Yeah, an homage to the last one to see then what she shows up in tonight.

00:25I mean, she didn't wear, she wore Tortured Poets vibe last year.

00:29Before we knew it was coming, and then she announced it for all of us on her 13th Grammy

00:33when she won for Best Pop Vocal Album.

00:35I remember it like it was yesterday.

00:37And here we are now, a year later, and I mean,

00:39Album of the Year is going to be just the biggest category of the night.

00:42God, I want all of them to win.

00:44Truly, every one of them I have streamed.

00:47Now, I don't mean to put you on the spot, but I got to know,

00:50who is your pick for Album of the Year, if you had to pick?

00:52Oh my God, that is really, really hard.

00:55I was just pressured to answer that before, too,

00:58because I wanted to say I would commit voter fraud and cast multiple votes.

01:02But I think based on just my streaming numbers,

01:05it was probably Billy's album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.

01:08I love all of the others as well,

01:12but I was listening to Hit Me Hard and Soft top to bottom over and over again.

01:17It really was, it just spoke to me in a beautiful way

01:20and it reached me at a time that I needed that kind of album.

01:23I mean, it's a stacked category.

01:25It's going to be crazy to see what happens tonight.

01:27Best New Artist is also stacked.

01:29Do you have a pick for Best New Artist?

01:31It's got to be my girl Sabrina,

01:32just because I met her during the emails I can't send era

01:37and she was so incredibly, like, warm and welcoming for such a huge star

01:45and she's only gotten bigger and I think her work ethic has gone underappreciated for so long

01:53and people are finally seeing it.

01:54And so while she's not necessarily, like, a new artist,

01:57her breakthrough has happened in such a beautiful way this year

02:01and I would love to see her take that one home.

02:03There's so many big performances tonight, too, like Sabrina.

02:07Can you show me maybe the little go-to dance move

02:09you're going to bust out in the audience during Sabrina and these other performances?

02:13I'm not a good dancer and I can't let this fall off,

02:16so it would just be a little, ooh, okay.

02:19If you want forever, I bet you do.

02:23Just know you'll face me too.

02:25I hope she kisses an alien again or something, you know?

02:28I feel like she's going to bring it for this performance.

02:30She has to.

02:31A hundred percent.

02:31She brings it for everything.

02:32I made a TikTok about how the Short and Sweet tour

02:35was one of my favorite tours I've ever seen

02:37because of the storyline of it all.

02:39She brought out the theater kid in me.

02:41Speaking of tours, Beyonce just announced the Cowboy Carter tour.

02:44Will you be in the audience for that?

02:46Absolutely.

02:47I screenshotted it five minutes after it was posted,

02:49texted it to my friends who I went to Renaissance with

02:51and said, let's go again.

02:53I know Beyonce announced her tour.

02:54I announced my tour.

02:56We're all touring this year, I guess, you know what I mean?

02:58And we're kind of doing the same venues, I'm pretty sure.

03:01So, yeah.

03:02Stadiums, obviously.

03:03But so tell me about this tour that you have coming up.

03:05I'm going on the Club Chris tour where I'm going to sing some theater for the people.

03:09We're going to sing some pop girls.

03:11We're going to have a really good time.

03:12It was kind of put together after I opened for Megan.

03:15And the people who put together Megan's tour said, do you want to do one?

03:21And I was like, yeah.

03:22What do you mean do I want to do one?

03:24Of course.

03:25And I've never really had a moment where I've been able to meet all the incredible people

03:28who have been in my life through my screen for four and a half years now.

03:33So almost five, actually.

03:35So I'm really excited to be able to do that.

03:38That's amazing.

03:38I need to be in the audience for that one.

03:40I can't wait to go.

03:41Let me know.

03:41I'll give you tickets.

03:43Of course.

03:44Anytime.

03:45And final question.

03:46Since we're at the Grammys, it's music's biggest night.

03:49So many biopics right now.

03:50Like our guy Timmy, you know, Complete Unknown.

03:53Who's a star you'd love to see a music biopic about next?

03:58I want to know about Gaga's early life.

04:00Like she's still young and like in her prime.

04:03But I want to know about like what led her to the fame monster.

04:06I mean, we have Five Foot Two.

04:08We have that documentary.

04:09We have a lot of good content about her speaking about the start of her life.

04:12But I want to see like a biopic of her like going to school and feeling like she was the odd one out and making music because of it.

04:19I love that.

04:19I want to see that, too.

04:20I mean, she's already such an icon.

04:22So I feel like it's not too early for a biopic.

04:24No.

04:24Well, let's have multiple.

04:25One of every year of her life.

04:27I would watch.

04:28100%.

04:28What have you been up to?

04:33What have you seen?
