00:00B96, it's Sonic backstage right here, Lollapalooza 2026 with the one and only Bella Kay.
00:06That's me.
00:07Hello.
00:07I just saw your set, man.
00:08You tore up the BMI stage.
00:10Yeah, that was awesome.
00:11I did not realize that your fan army is crazy.
00:16Can I be honest?
00:16I didn't realize it either.
00:17I got on stage, I was like, oh my god.
00:19That's what I was going to ask you next.
00:21When did you realize that your fan base was at the moment?
00:24Or were you scrolling in bed and you're like, yo?
00:26Oh, well, I just like when I, I mean, I knew like I had a good chunk of fans, but
00:32when
00:32I got on the stage, I was like, oh my god, I didn't know this many people were going to
00:35show up.
00:35Yeah, so I showed up a little bit late, no disrespect, but I couldn't find the stage.
00:39That's just me being messy.
00:40And so when I finally got up there, I couldn't even get up to see you, but I was on
00:44the side
00:44a little bit and you were rocking it.
00:46So congrats on all your success.
00:47You just dropped the new album too.
00:49Yeah.
00:51Are all those songs still relevant to you?
00:54I mean, it's a long process for the album.
00:55You know, it's a lot of big projects.
00:57So honestly, yes, I think all I'm still going through the situation.
01:02That's what I heard.
01:03Like when you're on stage, you're like, oh, yeah, you're so Gen Z.
01:08I love it, man.
01:09No, you're awesome.
01:10You're like the face of Gen Z.
01:12And I just like, I can't relate.
01:13I'm so old.
01:14Gen Z princess.
01:14My city's out here sweating.
01:16I'm like, yo, what's going on?
01:17But yeah, man, if you haven't picked up the album, My Reckless Abandoned, you got to get
01:21it.
01:22The lead single.
01:23I love it.
01:24I love it.
01:24I love it.
01:24I'm on a bunch of stations.
01:26We're playing it in New Orleans like crazy.
01:29B-97 out there.
01:30But it's just blowing up.
01:32So congrats on all your success.
01:34You're on the cover of Billboard.
01:36I was.
01:37Yeah.
01:37I saw your post.
01:38And you put Rihanna's talk that talk to that.
01:42Do you run your Instagram?
01:43I do.
01:43All me, baby.
01:45Okay.
01:45There you go.
01:46So yeah.
01:47Huge Rihanna girl.
01:49Yeah.
01:49I love her down.
01:50If you ever stand, did you stand, used to stand over Rihanna?
01:53I always stand with her.
01:55Me too.
01:56I will never switch up on my girl.
01:58Have you ever met Rihanna?
01:59No.
02:00That would be crazy for me.
02:01That would be big.
02:02I bet she listens to your music.
02:03You're everywhere.
02:04She might have heard it in a store somewhere, maybe.
02:07Hell yeah.
02:07That's dope.
02:08No, you're crushing it.
02:09So I was going to say, what's next for you?
02:12I mean, Lollapalooza, you got that out of the way.
02:14You performed.
02:14You're relieved now?
02:15Yeah, I'm good.
02:16Okay, cool.
02:17I mean, do you get nervous?
02:19Not nervous, but like.
02:20I wasn't too nervous for this, but I don't really get that nervous.
02:23I'm kind of just like, nobody wants to see me be nervous on stage.
02:26No, but you're so comfortable up there.
02:28That was the first time I've seen you.
02:30And man, I was impressed.
02:31So what's next for you after this?
02:34After this, I'm going home.
02:36Where are you from?
02:37Well, I'm from Texas.
02:38Okay.
02:39But yeah, I'm just going to kind of go back to my place, hang out with my parents.
02:43Kind of a lame vibe, to be honest.
02:45No, that's not lame at all, man.
02:46You got to protect your energy sometimes, you know, especially if you're going through a situation shit.
02:51Sneaky link type shit.
02:52Right?
02:53I mean, it must be so hard for you to date, like with all your success right now and blowing
02:58up.
02:58And then.
02:59It's a weird vibe.
03:00The internet.
03:01The internet always gets in the way, no matter who you are.
03:03Yeah, I'm like, yeah.
03:04So freaking, man.
03:05Yeah.
03:06So you're going through something?
03:08Oh, always.
03:09I am always going through something.
03:11Don't you worry about that.
03:13Right on.
03:14Well, shoot.
03:14Bella Kay, you're always welcome at B96.
03:16Thanks for coming through.
03:17Congrats on everything.
03:18That performance was awesome.
03:20If you guys have a chance to see Bella Kay, do not miss out on telling you right now.
03:23Appreciate you.
03:27You
