00:07What's up guys it's Emily Curl here with Refinery29 and we are backstage at Nissan
00:11Stadium and I'm here with Bebe Rexha. Hi Bebe. Hi, how are you? Good, how are you?
00:15Nice to see you again. It's so good to see you. I know I always love seeing you on Red
00:17Carbets,
00:18it's like my favorite thing. So you come from the pop world. Yes. You have an amazing country
00:21collaboration with Florida Georgia Line called Meant to Be. Yes. How does the pop community
00:26differ from the country community? In the country community there's more of a sense of family and
00:30love and there's not much ego. Not that there's not that in the pop world it's just a little bit
00:34more it feels a little bit more distant in a sense whereas like in the country world everybody really
00:38wants to see a lot of people win and I don't know it's just it's just a smart you feel
00:42the love more.
00:43Yeah. It's like more of like a family and like it feels more like connected you know. Yeah I can
00:48totally see that. So how do you think the country community can continue to make strides to incorporate
00:52more women or support more women whether they're artists or behind the scenes? I'm really a really
00:57big advocate in women in the music business and I think the way that we do that is like I'm
01:01through
01:01a dinner called Women in Harmony in LA and women in harmony get it like we're in harmony and we
01:06make
01:06you know you're literally in harmony. Yeah so I think it's really important to do things like that and to
01:11really show support and I think it's about uplifting each other so that we can succeed and then we can
01:16make more room at the table for women. I think that's really important. Totally. 82% of songs on the
01:21radio
01:22in the last year we're all men and the rest were female so it sucks but. So many of the
01:27ladies that
01:27we talked to this week have just all said nothing but amazing things about other female artists too so
01:31I think there is this sort of love and admiration. I think there's like you know after all the movements
01:35that have been happening I think there's like you know there's like a strength coming out and it feels
01:39really good. Yeah I think so too and kind of going on that same note we you know we have
01:43there's a lot
01:44of community and a lot of uplifting but we're all human and we're all gonna have bad days. On your
01:49bad days
01:49how do you bounce back and what is your self-care routine look like? The real answer or the fake
01:55answer no just joking. You know I have a really strong team around me and if I have bad days
02:00they are actually like my team will like all the girls will come to my room and we'll order like
02:04ice cream and brownies and eat really bad and watch Harry Potter and like love movies so I have a
02:11really strong team of people around me that I love. What's one piece of advice that stuck with you
02:14that you wish every woman every every member of our audience could hear? One thing my mom told me
02:18is you know when I just hit my 20s because I was like oh my god I'm 20 in the
02:23music business I'm
02:24getting old blah blah blah because you know they put this thing in your head. I wish I would have
02:27loved the way that I looked and at the at that moment because you know my mom said you never
02:33want to
02:33look back and be like wow I was so beautiful and I didn't know that so I was looking at
02:37pictures
02:38recently of me when I was like younger and I thought I was fat and not perfect and I looked
02:42like I was like
02:42wow I look so good. What I can tell girls out there and women is just really love yourself at
02:47the moment
02:48because you'll look back and be like I was really beautiful and I'm just getting older and fatter
02:53that's what I feel like happening with me but no like so I think it's just about like loving yourself
02:57in that moment and just with all your imperfections and everything. Totally. Well Bibi thank you so much.
03:01Thank you. You look amazing. Have so much fun tonight. Thank you so much. I love your cowboy hat.
03:04Thank you. Thanks Bibi. Bye guys.
