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.
