00:00And this is a midnight sun dress? Is that why it's all yellow and beautiful?
00:05I'm trying to embody the sun, the golden light, and a little bit of summer, mermaid-y, just like a warm, beautiful day.
00:15Well, you are giving warm and beautiful, which I always love.
00:18And I love that you say you have been dreaming about a Grammy since eight years old.
00:22You're here. The day is here. You're not just the t-shirt, I'm Grammy nominated, and you are.
00:28What's the feeling like today? How did you wake up this morning?
00:30So calm. I thought I would be very anxious and stressed and nervous.
00:36But I feel like the closer to today that I've been coming, the more calm I've been feeling.
00:44And now I just feel happy. I had a really fun performance on stage.
00:49And then my category got announced, and Lady Gaga took it, so she served that.
00:54We love Lady Gaga.
00:55Okay, we can live with that.
00:56Lady Gaga. But I just feel, I feel like if I would have won, I would have been ecstatic.
01:02And now that I didn't, I just feel kind of indifferent in the best way.
01:06Like, I just feel like, okay, you know, it's not meant to happen now.
01:09It will happen some other time.
01:11Yeah, because you're just getting started, girl. You got a lot coming.
01:14And now I just feel, thank you.
01:15And now I just feel really grounded, and I feel present, and I feel like I'm in the moment.
01:20And this is really fun. Like, all this is just fun. Like, while we're dressing up.
01:26But you know what?
01:26In the midnight sun.
01:28Like, it's a great day.
01:30What will upgrade you more than winning a Grammy tonight? What if Beyonce wasn't there?
01:35I would be scared.
01:36See, I knew it. I knew it. I was like, she walks up to you right now.
01:40No, I don't know.
01:42You can't handle it?
01:43No, I would, I would, I would, um, I don't know.
01:49What I really want is just those white flowers.
01:51Okay.
01:52Like, that will do.
01:53And then the last thing I want to ask you about is, of course, your performance.
01:57Like, we did the dance the other night, Love's Life.
01:59And then Midnight Sun has a viral dance.
02:01And, like, even when you get lifted up in the air, like, people love you performing.
02:03So how much thought do you put into your performance when you're preparing?
02:06So much.
02:06I feel like that's where my, this is, like, that's what I love.
02:10I love to create.
02:11I love to write songs.
02:12I actually love this.
02:13I love press and promo.
02:15But, like, performing.
02:15Nobody ever says that.
02:17You are that rare.
02:17It's funny to me because I love that.
02:19Yes.
02:19But I get to just wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, like, about my music and, like, my dress.
02:23I think it's fun.
02:24But I really love performing.
02:26That's, like, where I come to life.
02:28And I think it just also develops over time and the people that I work with.
02:34Because now, I mean, I've done the European leg of my Midnight Sun tour.
02:38Now we're moving on to the U.S.
02:40And I just want to, like, tweak it a bit.
02:41Like, make it better.
02:43Make what I can, how I can be in those venues now, which are very different from the European ones.
02:47And, like, just elevate it.
02:49Like, tweak it, tweak it, tweak it, tweak it.
02:51Because it can always develop and evolve.
02:53Yes, it can.
02:54Wonderful.
02:54Well, we can't wait to see you here in the States, girl.
02:56Zara, congrats again.
02:56Thank you so much.
02:57Have fun tonight.
02:58Go have fun.
02:59I'll see you in the States.
03:00You
