We’re with Mr. Khalid, one of my favorites and I know that I say that all the time
but I genuinely mean that, you know that, right?
Thank you so much, you’re the sweetest
Your album, your newest album
You like it?
I love it, I’m obsessed with it I've been listening to it non-stop
It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200
Crazy, right? It’s unbelievable
and see, what does that mean to you?
I mean, being in this industry now for a few years
You’re still new, but having such success how does that feel?
I mean, it’s a dream, right?
It’s a dream that you put into existence and you kind of hope for it
but the fact that it all gets to pay off and
the fact that Free Spirit went number one, that’s bigger than me and it’s awesome
and it’s an unbelievable experience, and it's just the start of 2019, so it’s gonna be
a lot better
I can’t wait
I’m stoked, i'm excited
Your friend Billie Eilish also debuted at number one on the Billboard 200
Oh my god
How does it feel to have someone, I mean you guys are buds
We gotta give it up for Billie Eilish ‘cause she is killing it and she’s handling herself so well
and I’m just so proud of her because I know
how hard it is, her mom and her dad how hard they work
and so it’s really good to see everything pay off in her favor and she’s a rockstar
and I mean, I can’t wait to see her here next year
sweeping every single thing, sweeping it all
and maybe you guys performing together
cause by that time you’ll have another song out together
Oh my, yeah let’s put that out there, she already knows what’s up so
She knows I would love to work with her again
That’s like- I love her so much
I felt so over-protective of you this week ’cause there was some drama in your life
and there’s never drama in your life, but you called out a troll on social media
because they were saying something about your hometown
but I loved your response and I love that you called him out
yeah
I guess a question for you is what’s your least favorite part about being famous
and like how do you kind of handle that?
Because I know that was quite-
was it difficult for you or were you
There's so many things in life
especially, even
to compare, you know like
being famous and not being famous
there’s so many things that other people look in and don’t really understand
or don’t get because they don't
know, but it's okay for them to not know
you know, I feel like a lot of people
you know, not a lot of people, but there's certain people who can be negative
and they want to tear people down with their words
I hate that, I only want to be about positivity, but
it’s harder than you think
negativity can come out of no where, and then
you’re like covered with this cloud
and you’re down about yourself
and to the world and that’s something that I never want to be, so
You’re not
To see that, I’m like
look, you know, the fact that someone would think
whatever anybody thinks
I feel for them, and I hope to never feel that way about anybody else
I love you and I love your positivity
Thank you
One collaboration that I feel very positive that’s gonna happen in the future
that you’ve been teasing forever or talking about
is BTS
Oh my god
Do you see yourself - have you guys had conversations about working together?
What can you tell me?
There’s definitely been conversations
I would love to, it’s all about finding that perfect song
and just you know
enjoying that energy for what it is
every time I see them
it’s nothing but love, it’s hugs
and everything I love them so much
and I’m just so happy for their success, so
even if it didn’t work out, I would still be a fan
and I love them
don't even say it
if even if it didn't
’cause it’s going to
and my question would you get in on the choreography?
oh my god
can we see you try
okay, definitely J-Hope is gonna have to teach me something
they’re gonna have to teach me some moves or whatever because
I’m a little rough right now, I could be bad at it
What’s like you go to move right now?
umm
I’m like, with the like, you know
you know, the woah
the woah, that’s like the go to
okay
something light, just something light, you know
You got it, I can see you totally keeping up with that
You got this
No, I’m trash. I’m so bad at dancing
Also, another collaboration that people are
that I want to know about
'cause obviously Taylor Swift was
Oh yeah
dancing along singing talk
and I want to know if you guys have had any conversation about collabing together
or would you like to?
We didn’t have any conversations about collaborating
I feel like our conversation was definitely
you know
beginning the friendship and she’s super genuine and
so it was awesome talking to her and, you know
I can’t tell the future, so
if it happens, it happens
That’s what I believe in everything
if it happens, it happens
If it didn't, she would still be a great person
that’s awesome
and you know what, I’m putting out positive vibes that today
it’s gonna happen here at the BBMAs
Maybe that’s a conversation backstage
I know, I know
I’m just putting that out there in the universe
hopefully, we’ll see right?
our last question
Mariah Carey’s being honored here tonight with the icon award
What is your favorite Mariah Carey song?
Can you give us a little
Oh my god
for us?
I would sing
oh my god
I love Obsessed, but I don't
Can you hit that high note
That’s about it
I don’t want to embarrass myself
You’re my favorite so much, I love you
Ah, thank you
Thank you, Khalid
Good to see you
