00:51 Grammy week is approaching
00:53 and one of the biggest events of the year
00:54 is their Best New Artist Party.
00:57 That always brings the biggest performers
00:59 and the brightest talent.
01:01 With this year's lineup on February 1st
01:03 including performers like Jelly Roll,
01:05 Victoria Monet and more.
01:08 And speaking of the party,
01:10 I have some very talented friends
01:12 I haven't hung out with in a while here to talk with us.
01:15 Hey, Warren Treaty, what's going on?
01:17 - Hey, Tetris.
01:18 - I am so excited to hear you guys are performing
01:22 at this event.
01:23 But I mean, I've been watching you guys just grow,
01:25 grow, grow and now Best New Artist at the Grammys.
01:29 How are you feeling?
01:30 - Yeah, this is insane.
01:31 I mean, the whole journey has been one big,
01:34 insane experience.
01:37 - Wow. - Yeah.
01:38 - I mean, where were you when you got the news?
01:40 - In the airport.
01:43 We were literally sitting down, eating breakfast,
01:45 waiting on our flight.
01:46 And I started immediately just crying.
01:48 And Ty was like, "Who died?
01:50 Who died?"
01:51 - I was like, "Who died?"
01:51 'Cause someone's always dying.
01:53 He always knows who's dead before I do.
01:55 And I'm like, "Who died now?"
01:56 You know?
01:57 And no one died.
01:58 - Well, luckily it was really good news.
02:00 And the good news keeps on coming.
02:02 Obviously we know how important streaming is to music.
02:05 Spotify throws, if not one of,
02:07 the biggest Grammy party every year
02:09 with the Best New Artist party.
02:10 And you're performing.
02:12 So how does it feel to be involved with them?
02:14 - Woo!
02:15 It's amazing.
02:16 I mean, we watched a huge jump in Spotify for us this year.
02:20 And we just wanna thank all the Spotify fans
02:22 for listening to the music
02:24 and for connecting with us in that way.
02:26 - But to perform live at the party?
02:28 - Sensei.
02:29 - Like, let's do it.
02:30 - I gotta tell you, I have a blast every year.

02:36 I know you're gonna take us to church.
02:38 - Oh, we're gonna do what we do.
02:40 You know, we-
02:41 - We're gonna take you to church?
02:42 We gonna rock and roll you out?
02:44 You know, we gonna do some lovey-dub-dub stuff?
02:47 - Yeah.

02:49 - I can't wait to see it all.
02:51 It was also amazing to see you guys at the Emmys.
02:54 You guys got to participate in that tribute,
02:56 which was amazing.
02:57 So tell me about how that felt.
02:59 - That was so surreal.
03:00 I mean, we were in a room full of people
03:01 that we'd watched growing up, you know,
03:03 and people were still watching on different shows.
03:05 So it was amazing.
03:06 And we were like kids in the candy store
03:07 to be out of our musical element and be in their element.
03:11 - It just felt really special.
03:13 It felt purposed.
03:16 And we were so honored to be a part of the 75th Emmys.
03:20 - And I mean, you have to take that emotion and energy
03:22 and keep pushing through this season because,
03:25 okay, you had the Emmys, you got the Spotify party,
03:27 you got the Grammys, and then February 2nd,

05:36 and they had to get to work early.
05:38 Uh, please don't blame the millennials on this one.
05:41 Madonna is facing a federal class action lawsuit
05:44 because she allegedly started
05:45 three New York City concerts two hours later than scheduled.
05:49 And a complaint filed Wednesday in Brooklyn Federal Court,
05:52 ticket buyers claim the material girl breached her contract
05:55 with lawyers saying fans were left stranded
05:57 in the middle of the night.
05:59 Ticket time was 8.30 and the show began at 10.30.
06:02 My thoughts, no show starts at ticket time.
06:05 Heiress tour tickets stayed at 6.30
06:07 and Taylor wouldn't go on 'til around eight after openers.
06:10 Plus, aren't these guys supposed to be fans?

06:42 I was very jealous when Ronya got to chat
06:45 with someone who wrote some of my favorite songs
06:47 from "Wish," Julia Michaels.
06:49 - I also was in a room every week
06:52 with the same people making this movie,
06:55 the directors, the writers, the producers,
06:58 and we would talk about all the songs
07:00 and talk about all the characters
07:02 and what we want them to be like
07:04 and sound like and feel like.
07:05 And, you know, anytime I would go
07:08 to show them anything, I'd be, "Taylor."
07:11 - Right.
07:12 - I was so scared.
07:13 - 'Cause it's so vulnerable.
07:14 - So vulnerable.
07:15 - Yeah.
07:15 - You don't know if they're gonna like it or not.
07:16 And I always felt very validated
07:19 when I would see Jennifer Lee cry
07:22 or she would laugh or something.
07:23 I was like, "Oh my God, I can breathe."
07:25 When I write for myself, it's just very unapologetic.
07:30 It's just coming from me, my psyche,
07:33 and my thoughts and feelings.
07:34 And I can say whatever I want in whatever way I want.
07:39 - Right.

07:54 - But, you know, it's very catered to them.
07:57 It is entirely an act of service for them.
