00:00 Didn't you just hitch the train?
00:02 I just got married.
00:03 Congratulations!
00:04 Thank you so much.
00:05 Good for you.
00:06 Thank you so much.
00:07 It is in the top three best decisions I've ever made in my life.
00:09 I mean you got one heck of a bride.
00:11 Yeah, right?
00:12 I definitely scored.
00:13 I definitely married up.
00:15 Listen, congratulations.
00:17 Where do I begin?
00:19 What a whirlwind journey for you.
00:20 It has been so incredible to see your trajectory continue to rise.
00:26 This best new artist nomination.
00:29 What does it mean to you?
00:30 It means nothing short of everything.
00:33 This is a big deal.
00:34 They said don't get no bigger.
00:35 I was telling them I even felt almost a little out of place when my plane landed because
00:39 I was like this is big, big.
00:40 We ain't in Nashville no more, Toto.
00:42 This is huge.
00:43 You know?
00:44 And I came and I feel, I won being here.
00:48 Winning is just, I wouldn't know what to do.
00:50 I'd probably cry and give the worst speech ever.
00:52 But just being here for me is a W. This is a huge win.
00:55 You went from the BNA to the BNA, the best new artist.
00:59 You're not that far from home.
01:01 I like the Nashville reference, baby.
01:03 That's some Nashville talk.
01:04 You know, this journey has been a very emotional one for you.
01:09 You have not been afraid to shed some tears.
01:12 How are the waterworks right now?
01:13 Do you have tissues in your pocket?
01:16 How are we containing the emotions?
01:17 I'm worried about Sunday.
01:20 Up till then, we're just partying and enjoying it with everybody.
01:22 But I think Sunday's going to be a real thing for me.
01:24 Probably when I stand on that red carpet and I realize the magnitude of me actually
01:29 being at the Grammys.
01:31 And I have a rule in life, man.
01:33 You do everything the first time like you'll never do it again.
01:36 And that's how we're doing it this week.
01:37 Not only do you have the best new artist nomination, you also have a nomination with our girl,
01:42 Laini Wilson.
01:43 To share that together, what does that text thread look like between you two right now?
01:48 Man, we had the coolest text thread ever.
01:49 I landed, I was on my way and my manager said, "Man, we're on the way to the Grammys."
01:55 He said, "What was we doing a year ago?"
01:57 So I went in my calendar and one year ago on January the 30th, Laini Wilson laid her
02:03 verse for "Save Me."
02:04 All of this drinking and smoking is hopeless but feel like it's all that I need.
02:05 Something inside of me's broken.
02:06 I hold on to anything that sets me free.
02:07 I'm not afraid to shed some tears.
02:08 I'm not afraid to shed some tears.
02:09 I'm not afraid to shed some tears.
02:10 I'm not afraid to shed some tears.
02:11 I'm not afraid to shed some tears.
02:12 I'm not afraid to shed some tears.
02:13 I'm not afraid to shed some tears.
02:14 I'm not afraid to shed some tears.
02:15 I'm not afraid to shed some tears.
02:16 I'm not afraid to shed some tears.
02:21 So the day that me and her, and I text her, I go, "One year ago, we're flying to, we're
02:24 nominated for this song.
02:26 You laid vocals a year ago today."
02:27 She said, "You won't believe it.
02:28 I just landed in LA."
02:30 I said, "I'm two hours behind you."
02:32 If that is not a sign from the universe, my friend.
02:34 It was, because who goes looking at their calendars what they were doing a year ago?
02:38 So it was really cool.
02:39 Your stylist, Krista, is a dear friend of mine.
02:41 I know she's serving looks for y'all on Sunday.
02:44 What can you tease?
02:45 Are you going to do color?
02:46 Are you going to stick to black?
02:47 Are you going to do leather?
02:48 Are you going to, what can you tease?
02:49 I love that you said, "Are you going to stick to black?"
02:51 We are going to do color.
02:52 You're going to do color.
02:53 I love it.
02:54 I'm not going to do color.
02:55 I'm not a color guy, but I'm doing color.
02:57 It's the Grammys.
02:58 Go big or go home, baby.
03:00 I want to be one of the best dressed.
03:02 This way it'll make me lose and feel a little less painful.
03:04 You know what I'm saying?
03:05 You're going to be on all the best dressed lists.
03:07 I'm calling it right now.
03:08 Oh, I hope so.
03:09 I will either be writing a buzz you've never seen before or two emotional talkers.
03:13 I'm calling it.
03:14 I'm calling it.
03:15 I'm calling it.
03:15 I'm calling it.
