3:38

off then you come back my piece but I have a little dance usually my dance no okay well I did have a dance okay well show me the dots it's on Instagram okay okay sorry I say I do little dance right yes it's very disco and I want everyone

3:57

to learn it and then I want us to all dance together in Texas I love that I posted it Wow amazing so everyone kind of moves in motion left to right that would be gorge it's like there's a there's a couple moves it's not like beginner level but it's not like fully

4:11

well you a dancer at school or is it something you've had to learn no girl mmm-hmm I was not a dancer ever never once in my life that I have the rhythm but I do feel like I you know in becoming you know King princess and like touring and

4:26

doing all this new that is out of my comfort zone I've really learned how to like become kind of the woman I've always wanted to be which is ultimately are we all to a degree searching for a healthy sense of make-belief truly and I

4:38

think that dance for me was always so intimidating because it involved being feminine and being sexy and I didn't realize that like it there's so much humor and so much humility and movement and that you can if you can harness that

4:53

yeah and still be sexy like that's way cooler than just like being a hobbit but you're feminine and you're six yeah but I'm also not feminine at all and like in some ways like I exist in this weird intersection of people you know that are

5:11

like in between genders and I've with it I think it's amazing it's something I like have rejected at certain points in my life but really like as a whole I've just found to be such a plus side well it's like and then you feel like you

5:23

know you are like loved and admired for being this thing that isn't really definable and I love I love being on stage and seeing people get me like it feels good to be gotten I love it man I just love the way that the conversation

5:38

is moving and everyone is just accepting each other for who they are or makes music so much more interesting it really does yeah I guess she's now officially cut she's clocking Quincy I never god no it's cool this talk mean queen radio

5:58

though no I know that's what I'm saying is another live miss Nikki Oh huge I'm a huge Nicki Minaj san I I love everything she does I really do and I I feel like she has given me and so many young women so much confidence like seriously she is

6:16

a really special member of this industry it was an example specific example of how she moved to life well I mean like when roman Reloaded came out and i was like in high school like I would listen to it and it felt it felt biblical and

6:29

it also felt like it was just like she was playing characters there was story there was narrative and there like the composition was incredible like she would she would do different characters and the way that the way that

6:43

it was all compiled just felt like like a hundred acts of a play okay girl you think I'm trying to be big radio big like big mainstream radio big mainstream radio yeah because if you put nineteen fifty on the record it's like the the

7:05

purpose of that is to elevate it too late cause that's the most obvious thing you could have done yeah but I don't I'm not obvious I don't know Priya I'm inappropriate and I'm in a different chapter of my life and I'm tired of that song oh don't say

7:18

that I'm not amazing song I know I know I love that song I'm just it's not it doesn't go with this with the beautiful lesbian heartbreak album I've just you know engineered for you so I for me it's like I don't know I'm I'm that I always

7:32

like good I've ruined my you know there's such a thing as beautiful self-sabotage I mean you know what I'm working on it like there's parts there's things now that I'm like now starting to realize like I just can't like be so

7:48

picky about but that was something I was just like that song still exists it still listen to you every day a lot twenty-five million streams in the US alone on that song Grammys maybe just give me one I don't understand yeah I think you should be nominated you

8:14

should be nominated for Best New Artist I don't think that's gonna happen I think I miss my saying you should be probably like Dec maybe I mean if anything it would be like next year the year after I this here is I don't know

8:25

if it is no it's going to well I think we have a pretty good idea who's gonna you know whose odds on favorites all take it he's gonna take it he's gonna walk away with a big yeah big gone I think we know yeah I'm gonna sit this one out

8:39
