00:00Hanging with Slater, what's been my favorite thing lately is like how often I just get to see you perform.
00:04Whether it's a party, it's an event, a festival, you're a tour.
00:07I'm everywhere.
00:08You're everywhere.
00:09So how has that felt to go in front of all these different audiences and experience them experiencing you?
00:13It's been really fun.
00:15I feel like it's been a very busy spring and summer.
00:18I love performing.
00:19I just, I'm like fresh off of tour right now.
00:21I just flew in from my Boston show last night.
00:23Amazing.
00:24Yeah.
00:24They're journaling pumping.
00:25Yeah, it's been really fun.
00:26And I feel like your visuals are so good.
00:28When you think about your tour and when you think about the music videos.
00:30So how much thought do you put into the music videos since we're here at the VMAs?
00:33Oh, so much.
00:34So much, so much.
00:36I feel like whether it's like the costumes, the color choices, like props, everything.
00:42I really think about it really heavily.
00:44I feel like I use a lot of symbolism in my videos.
00:46And yeah, they take a long time to come together.
00:50But I feel like my visuals are kind of something I'm the most proud of with this album and in
00:54my project.
00:54Just because we put so much time and work into it.
00:56And down to like on the color grading calls, like every hue of lavender and teal.
01:03Like it's so, so specific and so, you know.
01:06Yeah.
01:06Yeah.
01:07I'm like really nitpicky, but it works out.
01:09It works out.
01:10And as fans are discovering you, what's been one of your favorite things that people have discovered about you that
01:14you're like, really?
01:15That's what's sticking?
01:16Yeah.
01:16Maybe that I feel like my performances are like resonating a lot with people.
01:20Or they're like, whoa, she can really sing.
01:22And I'm like, well, yeah, that's my job.
01:24I'm a singer, I guess.
01:25But yeah, I feel like my music has always been very kind of, you know, electronic and like pop leaning.
01:30So it's fun when people come to shows and to like do my annoying, like flex my vocals thing.
01:36And I love, yeah, I love, I love it.
01:37Yes, Green.
01:38And I feel like you celebrated a birthday recently.
01:39I did.

01:41In Texas with my family.
01:43My mom and sister came and it was really beautiful.
01:46But yeah, me and my whole touring team, we all went out and had fun.
01:50We were, it was a really, really fun show.
01:51They like brought a cake out also, which was really cute.
01:54Yeah.
01:55And then what's your favorite VMA moment?
01:57Favorite VMA moment?
01:59Probably Britney Spears' Slay For You performance.
02:01Come on, the snake?
02:02I feel like that, every time I think of the VMAs, that is like the, at the number one spot
02:06in my brain.
02:07I love that for Britney because she's my favorite artist.
02:09Yeah.
02:09And then if you could be in any music video, what would it be?
02:12Oh my gosh.
02:17Maybe, I don't know.
02:18One of my own, I don't know.
02:20Yes.
02:20I feel like I would, I don't know.
02:23What about a Britney one?
02:24I feel like there's got to be a Britney one you're like, I wish I could have done.
02:26I would love to be one of the sweaty, slave for you, sexy dancers.
02:29There you go.
02:29Done.
