00:00Hi, how are you? Good to see you.
00:02When I tell you we've been talking about you non-stop for the past 20 minutes, you are our top pick tonight.
00:09What a year you have had.
00:1119 weeks, by the way, at number one on the Hot 100. That's us, Billboard.
00:15You got it right.
00:1619 weeks, man. So tell me, I mean, you're tied up there with Lil Nas X.
00:19How does it feel to have a song that now is history?
00:22It's amazing, honestly. Hopefully we can walk away with a Grammy, but just if not, you know, it's been a crazy year.
00:28You know, that was a song I just had an idea in my head, and I was allowed to manifest it with my producers,
00:33and look at all the things that have happened since then.
00:36So any way it goes, man, I feel like a winner, you know?
00:39I need to touch on something. Last time I spoke to you, it was before the Super Bowl.
00:43Before the finals of the Super Bowl, I asked you who you wanted to win.
00:47The Commanders were still in the game.
00:49Oh, my God.
00:50Unfortunately, they have been kicked out. His hometown team has been kicked out.
00:53It was hard to watch.
00:54Are you rooting for someone now, or are you letting it go?
00:56I can't really speak, but I will be in New Orleans, and I will be celebrating with the team.
01:01That sounds good.
01:03And then let's talk about your music coming up.
01:05Good news, by the way, amazing song, so motivational.
01:08How do you feel about the next music you've got coming?
01:10I'm so excited about it. I feel like I'm now coming into my own.
01:13So this is just an extra treat on top of everything I've done so far in my career.
01:19I can't wait to keep it going.
01:20And then, of course, I do want to talk to you a little bit.
01:22I didn't get to see you after the CMAs.
01:23Obviously, you didn't take any gold home there.
01:25But to be here at the Grammys and still be nominated in country categories and regular Grammy categories, like the top four, what's that accolade feel?
01:32It's amazing, honestly, to be in the big four after just one year of really figuring out the type of music I wanted to make,
01:39the sound I wanted to give, the type of songs I wanted to write.
01:42It's amazing.
01:43Honestly, I just hope that I keep coming, and this isn't just the only year I get to do this.
01:48Okay, man, I believe in you.
01:50We talked about Morgan Waller last time.
01:51I still need you all on the track together.
01:54Stuff's coming, man.
01:55Stuff's coming, man.
01:56He sent me a text the other day, and it's just good that he's doing good, taking care of himself,
02:00putting out some new music that I feel like the world's excited and ready for.
