-I always love seeing you.
You know, I get, like, overly proud
every time you do something great.
'Cause I'm like, "She started on our show!"
-I know. I did. This is like kind of the next --
like, the intro to the next phase, too.
-Exactly. -Naturally come to you.
-I love you, pal. We're so happy for you.
And thank you so much. -Thank you.
-Grammy-winning. Come on. How exciting is that?
You won a Grammy for Best New Artist.
-Best New Artist, yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ] Thanks.
-I was freaking out! I was going nuts!
-Me too. -I was watching at home.
I was going crazy for you. I'm so proud of you.
-Thank you. -What did it feel like?
How did you know that you won and --
Is it surreal? I mean, does it --
-It is surreal. Yeah. I mean, like, of course,
like, when you're up there, you hope you'll win, I guess.
But, for me anyway, I never expect them to call my name.
I always just -- I'm ready --
I get ready for, like,
my "not sore loser" face, like, so supportive.
I'm like, "Aw, damn. Next time."
-"For a second, I thought..." Yeah.
Who were you with? -I was with my mom.
And, yeah, like, when I won, she kissed me.
Like, she had lipstick,
and she kissed me, like, right on the mouth.
And I went up there, and I had, like, lipstick all over my face.
But you couldn't see it on TV. -Yeah, yeah.
-But it was -- it was good. -And did you like your speech?
-Um, did I like my speech? -Yeah.
I mean, you never really like your own -- I mean --
'Cause you don't know what to -- Every time I get off stage,
I'm like, "Oh, I should have said, this, this, and this,
and I should have thanked this person."
-Yeah, because you probably dreamt in your head, like,
growing up, like, going like,
"Oh, I'm going to win one day, and I'm going to say this.
I'm gonna thank Quincy Jones." That's what I would have done.
-Yeah, exactly.
-Immediately I always just thank Quincy Jones.
-Of course. For whatever reason.
-Yeah, Michael won all those awards growing up,
so that's what I thought an award speech would be.
Because he just kept going, "I want to thank Quincy Jones."
Yeah, exactly. I go, "That's what you do."
When you win an award, you thank Quincy Jones.
-But, yeah, like, I would do that actually,
like, in my shower growing up,
like, thanking fake people, like, for fake songs
that hadn't come up yet.
-Like agents and managers that you don't have?
-Yeah, like, "Tim, I love you, man."
"Tim, I wouldn't have done it without you."
"Darcy, we had a rough spot, but we made it through."
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. -[ Laughs ]
-But just full-on. But it works apparently.
Like, we talked about last time speaking into existence.
That definitely worked.
-How are you dealing with the grind of it all now?
'Cause now it's not like you have just one single out.
Now you're touring. And now you're --
Dude, you toured with Coldplay. -I did!
-They're the nicest dudes in the world, right?
-They're the best. Oh, my gosh.
You know, they always say never meet your idols or whatever.
I just got really lucky with them.
Like, I've always loved them so, so much.
-Oh, good to hear that. 'Cause they are great.
And they're really caring, but so talented, too.
-They really are. Yeah, they really do care about you.
Like, they didn't have to talk to me,
and they didn't have to care, but they did.
-What went on with this Teddy bear?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
-Yeah, yeah.
-First of all, it's hilarious, and you're crazy.
But what went down? -Okay.
So, my crew and I got this, like --
I don't know where we found it. My sound tech, Leo, found it.
Shout-out to Leo. It was, like, this giant --
-Shout-out to you, Leo. Couldn't have done it without you.
Tim, Darcy, we had a rough spot,
but, you know, we made it through.
Leo! Leo, my man!
-Darcy. What a name.
-I know. I thought Darcy would be a fun name.
-That was funny.
But, yeah, we got this, like, giant, like, stuffed bear.
Not a bear costume. Let's keep this in mind.
Not a bear costume. -It's a toy.
-A toy bear.
And somehow, like, we opened it
and took all the stuffing out of it
and thought it would be fun to, like,
get inside and scare people and pretend to just be, like --
like a Teddy bear and then just jump out and scare people.
It was, like, last day of the tour.
We were all delusional, very tired.
-Wait. So you put on the bear -- -So, I put on the bear suit.
-You got inside a stuffed bear. Like a Teddy bear.
-I got inside a stuffed bear. -And you were gonna surprise.
-Yeah, and I decided to surprise Coldplay
and just, like, scare them.
So pretend that, like, I left a little note saying,
like, "I wanted to thank you guys for having me on tour.
And I left you this bear."
You know, like, planned it all. Got fake balloons, all of it.
And I was in there for what felt like three hours.
It was 30 minutes actually.
But the thing is with that, like, you want to make it seem
like you're not -- like you don't have bones.
'Cause you want it to look like you're, like, not a person.
So I had to be, like, limp, and then I couldn't see anything.
So I was like this.
And then I guess all of your remaining senses
just kind of are heightened.
So you just know when they're there.
-Yeah, it's just like a quiet place.
-Yeah, it's just -- -"I think I hear them."
-"I think I hear them."
-"Oh, I think I smell their cologne." Yeah, yeah.
-'Cause I know what it smelled like.
-Exactly, yeah. -And then I just jumped out.
And I scared them all. -I want to show a clip,
because you brought a video, which is really funny.
-Yeah, yeah. We have it.
-Here's Alessia in a bear suit scaring Coldplay.
Take a look at this.
-That's you in there. -Yeah.
[ Man whistles ]
-Aah! -Whoa!
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, my gosh!
-It was good. It was good. -They all jumped back!
-They all jumped back, yeah.
I knew when I felt someone pulling me.
-Dude, that was really good. You were really...
-You have to be like this. -You were under, like, a table.
That was unbelievable. -And then once you choose
the position, you have to stay like that the whole time.
-For 30 minutes. -So it's like I picked
the worst position, too.
I couldn't breathe. -Shoved under a table.
-It was bad. It was bad.
-Pal, "Growing Pains." Talk to me about this.
The new jam.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yes. -I love it.
-You like it? -I love it. I love it so much.
I actually watched you do a lyric-by-lyric thing on YouTube.
-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. -Talking about each line.
And I just -- I just love you, man.
You're the real deal. -Thank you.
You have such a great voice,
and you have such a great, uh, voice...
[ Laughter ]
A voice and then a voice. Yeah, yeah, okay.
And I really -- I love what the song is about.
And I love that you got the title from your brother.
-Oh, yeah.
-Yeah, and you give him props for that.
And also embarrassing him, as well.
But "Growing Pains." This is the new jam.
You're gonna debut it on our show tonight,
which is like -- You always do this to us.
-I know. Like, I'm just gonna keep coming back.
-You're the gift that keeps on giving.
We love you so much. -Thank you.
-Congrats on every single thing. -Thank you so much.
-We love you. Alessia Cara. "Growing Pains."
