00:00What's it like returning to the Grammys as a Grammy winner?
00:03You know what? I don't even know. I'm still beside myself that I won a Grammy.
00:08I gave it to my mom to put in her house because I just can't believe it's real sometimes
00:12to be nominated again and I haven't even put out my debut album.
00:15But it's coming though, this summer.
00:17What can you tease about it?
00:19Honestly, you know, I'll tell you the date. April 25th.
00:21It's really this authenticity that I'm trying to like translate through the music.
00:26I kept overthinking it and I was like, oh my God, my last one got nominated for a Grammy
00:30and now I have to compete with this.
00:32And I was like, you know what? Why don't I just be whoever I am right now?
00:35Because there will never be perfection. There's always more growth.
00:38So I'm just like, why not lean into whoever I am now?
00:40The highs, the lows, the ballads, of course, and the up-tempos, the sexy songs, the angry songs.
00:45Everything that it was is who I am. So I'm proud of it.
00:48We can't wait to hear it. I love that.
00:50It's a huge night tonight and there are so many big nominees, especially for Album of the Year.
00:54I'm going to put you on the spot.
00:56Who's your pick for Album of the Year?
00:58Girl, what do you want me to get canceled? Come on now. Don't get serious.
01:00It's super hard and I would never say one because they all have done amazing things.
01:04Beyonce has opened the door for so many country artists.
01:06Sabrina Carpenter, my fellow Disney girl, that long journey.
01:08I mean, I can't even choose, but I'm super proud of everyone.
01:12Everyone that votes deserves that vote and everyone that here is nominated deserves it.
01:16They work hard, these people, so really amazing room to be in.
01:19For you, you have the final season of Bel Air coming up.
01:22How excited are you to give fans of the show one more season?
01:25I'm super excited. I'm really curious to see what they do, actually, with Hillary.
01:29What shenanigans will she get into this time?
01:31Maybe she'll be pregnant or something. I'm like, I would like a fake belly.
01:34I would like to see that. Nope. Okay. Nope. Quiet in the room. We'll see.
01:38And so many amazing performances tonight. I'm going to put you on the spot again.
01:42Can you maybe show me a little dance move you might bust out in the audience during these performances?
01:46I mean, wow, putting me on the spot here.
01:48But you know what? I got this one leg, so I think I'm going to do a little hip twist.
01:53All right, now. Cut that out. Just kidding.
01:57Wasn't ready to dance. I hope that was satisfactory.
