00:39It feels amazing, you know. I'm very happy to be here because my mom has always been behind the scenes
00:44and she was always my momager. She was like helping me since I was very little with my dress and stuff.
00:48So cute.
00:49And they're honoring her tonight as well.
00:50Oh my gosh, how amazing.
00:51It's like the first award ceremony that they honor me and my mom and she deserves it more than I.

01:16My question for you is, who do you give flowers to for getting you where you are now?
01:20My mom. And I take flowers to my grandmother's grave all the time. It definitely was my inspiration.
01:26Amazing. And so who do you give flowers to for inspiring your music?
01:30My husband. I always take him flowers. I don't know. I think it's kind of men deserve it too.
01:35Love. You're a lover girl.

01:39That's so sweet. Okay. So what do you give flowers to your fans for?
