00:00It's a huge night for you with this Album of the Year nomination with Beyoncé.
00:04Why do you think Beyoncé deserves to win Album of the Year finally this year?
00:08I think she's always deserved it.
00:11She always, 11 out of 10, everything she does.
00:14And I think she's like, she tells us where the future of music is going.
00:20And sometimes I think it's hard for everybody to fully acknowledge it in the present.
00:24But I feel like people really understood it.
00:27I mean I cried when I listened to this album for the first time.
00:29I'm so proud of it. I think she did the most fantastic job.
00:33I think, I can't state it enough how perfect it is.
00:39What was the highlight of working on Cowboy Carter with her?
00:42Oh my god, I mean, now? This is pretty great.
00:47When I got the call for this, I actually was like, had just given birth,
00:51was in the pandemic, and I was like in my own, you know, working by myself in a studio
00:56and just had no more F's to give about anything.
00:58I'm not making anything for anyone else's, you know, expectations anymore.
01:02I'm doing it myself.
01:03And right at that time was when I got hooked up with this whole project
01:07and I feel like the energy fits, you know.
01:10This is art for art's sake.
01:12And I'm just, yeah, it feels unreal.
01:16Even you telling it to me right now, you're like, what's it like tonight?
01:19I'm like, how is this real? Yeah.
01:21She just announced she's going on the Cowboy Carter tour.
01:24I know! Are we going?
01:25Obviously, we have to be there.
01:26Yes, we do. I have outfits to buy.
01:29I mean, you definitely have to be there.
01:31I will. Oh, I will.
01:32It was amazing seeing her sing those songs during the Beyonce Bowl.
01:36For you, what was it like seeing this album brought to life on stage?
01:39My daughter, because Blue was there, right?
01:42And so I go, oh my gosh, this is her daughter up there?
01:45And my daughter Lucy goes, I wish Beyonce was my mom.
01:49Wait a second.
01:51Me, me, no.
01:53I think our jaws, we had to lift them off the floor after watching it.
01:56It's just exquisite.
01:59Her performance abilities, I don't think we can even fully appreciate
02:04how ahead of almost everyone she is, you know.
02:07For you, you've collaborated with so many amazing artists,
02:10but who's maybe a Grammy nominee
02:12or just anybody that you'd love to collaborate with next?
02:15Oh, you know, I love St. Vincent,
02:17and I saw she's going to be performing, so I'm excited for that, yeah.
02:20And what else is coming up for you?
02:22What are you excited about with your own music career?
02:24So like I was saying, the stuff that I started working on
02:26kind of around the same time as this,
02:28later this year or soon is what I'm supposed to be saying,
02:31I'm going to put that out.
02:33And I feel like having a kid, my brain literally changed.
02:36So what I put into this upcoming record, I can't wait to share.
02:42And finally, it's music's biggest night,
02:44and music biopics are having a major moment right now
02:47with The Complete Unknown.
02:49Who's someone you'd love to see a music biopic about next?
02:52Oh, first I have to say, I watched that SNL performance.
02:55Unreal, unreal.
02:58I love Bob Dylan, I was not ready to like that,
03:00and that was so good.
03:02I feel like they've done biopics about her,
03:04but I love Patsy Cline.
03:06I could watch biopics about Patsy Cline all day long.
