0:00Kelsey Ballerini here at the Grammy's. Hi, sweetheart.
0:07Look how pretty was.
0:08This is Taylor.
0:08Hi.
0:09You look like a vision in green.
0:10This is stunning. I know I know that you always think extra like you you like to take fashion opportunities and and have intention with them for every red carpet. What was the inspiration behind tonight's look?
0:21We wanted to have a dress that felt very like patterned because we're nominated for patterns tonight.
0:26Um, but I also just put out an EP that has like kind of this like emerald theme to it. So it's like a marriage of the two.
0:35And E made this custom, they've been working on it since November.
0:39And I'm I'm obsessed with it.
0:41Look at the back of it.
0:42Give the booty.
0:43Get the booty.
0:43Get the booty.
0:44You know you work hard for that in the gym, show it off, babe.
0:47Exactly.
0:49This body of work patterns. You and I spoke at lengths about it when it just came out and I know how much that this body of work means to you.
1:01So to have it recognized in this way.
1:06What does that mean to you?
1:08How does that sit with you?
1:09Well, I mean, it's incredible, but also it's the first year that country album is split between traditional and contemporary and, you know, I think the beautiful thing about country music is the evolution it's continued to have and I I love traditional country music, but I am definitely contemporary and someone who really um I my my truth is to blend.
1:58But also like my passion is to push it forward in as many ways as I can and so um to be nominated in this category for the first time is it's a big deal.
2:14To represent as well is a huge deal.
2:18The magnitude of that for you, I mean, you're already smiling as I say that.
2:22I know, I know, I'm I have anxious energy right now.
2:26So I'm trying to just get grounded and be present and enjoy it.
2:30Well, let's focus on the fun, the Grammy's is like a giant party, right?
2:33It is.
2:34I think.
2:35It is.
2:36Is there wine in there?
2:37I'm sure.
2:37Please.
2:38I know you'll find it.
2:40I will find it, you know, I'll find it.
2:42I'll come to you.
2:43You'll find it. I also think you're sitting, I believe that you're sitting near Laney Wilson.
2:46Are you two going to be trouble?
2:47Together.
2:48And then I think Noah is right beside us.
2:50So I'm good.
2:51Don't worry about me.
2:53I got.
2:54Yeah, me and Laney.
2:55I mean, I I love her so much.
2:56And we've had.
2:59We've had nights where like me and Carly.
3:01Actually went to her house.
3:02Maybe like five months ago and just like spent like six hours with her and her fiance and just like sat outside and drank wine.
3:10And just really actually got to know each other offline and she's such a wonderful woman.
3:14And and deserves all the good things and um.
3:18I I don't know how she does everything she's doing.
3:21I'm like.
3:23Can can you take a nap?
3:24I will guard the door.
3:26I'll guard the door for you to take a nap.
3:29Um, but she's just such a bad ass and um I I'm.
