00:00We're at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards and we're here with Julia Michaels. Welcome to Carpet TN.
00:04Hi, thank you so much.
00:05We're so glad to have you. Now, one thing I love about you is you are, and you were, a
00:09songwriter,
00:09but you've now transitioned to being on the front end of the scenes.
00:12What's the most surprising thing you've learned about yourself now being in front of the camera?
00:16I think the most surprising thing is that I have learned to face so many fears.
00:21You know, things that I was so scared of and now are sort of becoming easier and easier to me
00:26every single day.
00:27Oh, I love it. And we're talking a lot about getting more women in the music industry.
00:30Are there any artists that you would love to tell our viewers at home about?
00:35Yeah, I mean, one in particular that I don't know if a lot of people know about but should is
00:40Billie Eilish.
00:41She is really good and really special.
00:45I love that.
00:46I'm such a huge fan of your EP. Pink is one of my favorite songs, by the way.
00:49It's so fun.
00:51And I think your music resonates so well because it's so real and it feels like it comes from a
00:55very real place.
00:55What is your songwriting process?
00:58A lot of my, I guess, inspiration comes from relationships or kind of the darker side of myself or the
01:07sexual side of myself.
01:09So a lot of it, yeah, a lot of it comes from that.
01:12So writing process is either me like on a voice note or on a piano or listening to chords or
01:18just shouting stuff out on the microphone.
01:20It just depends on the day and how I feel.
01:22So I'm here for it.
01:23I love it.
01:24We're all about the music tonight.
01:26Do you remember what your very first concert ever was?
01:28Yes, I do actually.
01:30It was Britney Spears when she did Oops, I Did It Again.
01:33What a great first concert.
01:34I'm so jealous.
01:35I missed that tour.
01:36Oh my God.
01:37So parents.
01:38So awesome.
01:39Yeah, cool.
01:39So what's one song that's just been on repeat for you right now?
01:44Right now?
01:45I mean, This Is America, Childish Gambino.
01:49Oh my God, it's so good.
01:50It's on repeat.
01:51It's such an amazing, and the video is unbelievable.
01:54I love it.
01:55So that's awesome.
01:56Yes, there's so many amazing artists performing tonight.
01:58Who are you most excited to see?
01:59I'm excited for Shawn Mendes and Khalid.
02:02I'm excited for J-Lo.
02:04I'm excited for some Peppa.
02:06Christina, of course.
02:07You know, all of them.
02:09All of them.
02:09Yes, amazing.
02:10Well, thank you so much for joining us.
02:12We gotta go, but have so much fun.
02:14Enjoy.
02:15Did you see how sad it was when you had to go?
02:17I was like, does Julia have to go inside?
02:19Julia, you're the best.
02:20Enjoy tonight.
02:21And thank you guys for watching at home.
