00:00 We're here with our visionary, Maren Morris.

00:03 What does being a visionary mean to you?

00:06 I don't quite feel like I can hold the title,

00:09 but I have a lot of visions and delusions.

00:12 So I'm glad that I'm being honored for them tonight.

00:15 Have you ever heard the phrase being

00:17 de lulu is the solulu?

00:18 Solulu.

00:19 We're leaning hard into it.

00:22 Yeah, I love it.

00:23 Also performing tonight.

00:25 Are you excited?

00:26 What can we expect?

00:27 I'm doing a sort of laid back version,

00:30 because it's the five year anniversary of my single girl.

00:32 And it just felt like, I don't know,

00:34 it's the Billboard Women's event.

00:35 Let's do girl and honor this anniversary.

00:38 And it just really encapsulates what this evening is about,

00:42 which is like female empowerment.

00:44 We're badass bitches.

00:45 That's what's up.

00:46 Yeah.

00:46 Yes.

00:47 And you've said that the phrase that's really resonating

00:49 with you lately is letting go.

00:51 And that's something that I'm trying to learn in my own life.

00:54 What advice do you have for letting go of expectations,

00:57 letting go of attachments, things like that?

01:00 I think-- I don't know if I can give that advice,

01:03 because I'm still letting go of a lot of stuff.

01:05 But I would just say, it can't get worse.

01:09 So you might as well drop that dead weight.

01:13 It can only get better.

01:14 It only goes up from there, 100%.

01:15 You just released a video for Dancing With Myself,

01:18 which I loved.

01:18 It was so much fun.

01:19 Let me ask you this.

01:20 You're getting ready for an event like this.

01:21 You've got music on.

01:22 You're dancing by yourself.

01:23 What's your go to song when you're dancing by yourself?

01:25 Actually, getting ready tonight, it was Texas Hold 'Em, Beyonce.

01:29 Come on now.

01:30 Yeah.

01:31 Got to represent Texas in the house.

01:34 Yeah, that one gets me moving.

01:35 Simply nothing Beyonce can't do.

01:38 Just going into country so casually and killing it.

01:40 So good.

01:41 I know.

01:41 And she just knows how to bring it to 11 every single time.

01:45 I'm just-- I'm so proud.

01:47 I know her.

01:47 I'm so proud of her.

01:48 Should we just do that together?

01:49 We're so proud of you, Beyonce.

01:50 We're so proud of you, Beyonce.

01:51 As your personal close friend.

01:52 I know that means a lot.

01:54 No, but I think-- and I've said this in an interview before,

01:58 but her really, in a very purposeful way,

02:01 reclaiming country music to black people

02:04 because they invented the genre is

02:07 so astounding and important.

02:09 So, I mean, Sleigh.

02:11 Sleigh.

02:12 Well, thank you so much, Maren.

02:13 You're a major Sleigh, always.

02:14 Thank you.

02:15 Thank you so much.

02:15 Have a great night.

02:16 We'll be cheering you on.

02:17 Yes, congratulations.
