00:00Oh my gosh. Lauren Jauregui. Hello. Hi. Nice to meet you. Oh my gosh. I love this monochromatic
00:08moment. I mean what color do you feel most beautiful in? I mean this one's a top contender
00:14for me. I like this one a lot. I love greens. I love like gemstone colors. Yeah or black. I love
00:20black. Classic. A classic. I mean Billboard recently released our top women of the 21st
00:26century. Yeah. Fifth Harmony made the list. I know. I mean so surprised to me. You and the
00:31girls have been such an impact on music and people following you. How does it feel to be
00:36part of that list and being recognized in that way? I mean what an incredible honor. I remember
00:40when I was little going on Billboard 100 to look up all of the songs that I wanted to put on my
00:44iPod. So to be included on that list is an honor for real. Yeah I'm so grateful to the girls and
00:51just the kinds of waves that we've been able to make in this world through music. It's really
00:55with music in that way. It's so beautiful. It's really special. I'm grateful. And what else is in
01:01store for you in 2025? Like what are you working on that we can all get excited about? I'm working
01:05on an album. Yes I am. I have an album coming. Yeah it's pretty much almost done and I'm just
01:13kind of putting some final touches on her and like making her weave a little better. But yeah
01:18it's coming. I'm excited. I'm excited too. And I think you always really, especially now with your
01:24solo era, you've cracked your heart open for your fans. I do. I'm an emotional shawty. So
01:31who's the girl's name? I'm a cancer. Oh you are. That explains it. You know what I mean? It's the
01:37water in me. Okay okay. Who's the Lauren now? Who's the Lauren you're introducing now with this album?
01:43Oh you know you guys get a little more of my angsty side in this album. Yeah I'm going for
01:48like an alternative vibe. The pinchers on the crab. The pinchers of the crab. The pinchers in the
01:54shell. But you still get, you still get plenty of tenderness. I love that. Yeah. And who are you most
02:01excited to see perform tonight? Is Dochi performing tonight? I don't think so but she'll be honored.

02:28Incredible is an understatement. Yeah no I saw that lineup. It looks crazy. Yes and lastly I mean
02:34Jazzy's 14 and I mean like she's killing it. What advice do you have for a younger woman kind of
02:39making their way in the entertainment industry? Yes please talk to me please. Yeah I mean I would
02:43just say to stick to yourself. Like stay true to yourself. I'm sure you've heard that a lot but
02:49keeping your your light on and no matter what kind of pushback you get from people around you
02:55especially as a young woman like I think just make sure that you stay true to your your essence
