-Let´s talk about when you first started to perform.
Do you remember your first performance?
-My first performance. I remember I was in fifth grade
and I auditioned for "The Little Mermaid" in school.
-Okay. -Anybody ever heard of it?
-Yeah, yeah, of course. [ Cheers and applause ]
-And I auditioned for "The Little Mermaid."
And basically we had to audition as part of the grade.
Because when I was younger, I actually -- I was very shy.
Like, I didn´t even sing in front of my family.
I didn´t want to -- you know, I didn´t want to do any of that.
But I had music class. And so as part of the grade,
you had to audition. And so I auditioned,
gave it my all, and I got shark number two.
[ Laughter ] Whoo!
-Shark number two. Not even shark number one.
-Not even number one, man! -I don´t even remember
shark number one. Shark number two is the star.
-And so -- I know! And so then I go to do the thing and I even,
like, I came out at the wrong time.
Like Eric and Ariel were, like, giving each other the little...
[ Blows kiss ] The little kiss. -Yeah.
And I came out at the wrong time.
And I just hear everybody going, "No! Stop! Go back! Go back!"
-"Shark number two, not yet!" -Oops.
But of course my family was super proud of me.
They were like, "yeah, that´s my shark number two
that messed up!" [ Cheers and applause ]
-:...that messed up. That was our girl. That´s our girl!"
Explain, this is a Halloween photo.
-Oh, yeah. Halloween is coming up, right?
-Yes, it is. But explain this -- -Oh, yeah. This photo.
-So this is at -- so this is Taylor Swift as Deadpool, right?
-Yep. Killin´ it. Just killin´ it.
-And these are just people being like, what? Like sexy cowboy.
-Just left to right. Just, like, models.
-Sexy cat. Yeah, And then -- -This was last year,
and so I just -- I always -- -But then here´s you.
-Yep. [ Laughter ]
Yep. -And what were -- what were you?
-I was basically a fat grandma that couldn´t find her cat
because she sat on it. [ Laughter ]
And I made it myself.
-♫ One of these things is not like the other ♫
-♫ Yeah ♫ -That is fantastic.
-And so I got the stuffed animal and my mom helped me
tape it to my butt. Um... -Yeah.
-When you were doing this, did you leave it on
for the whole party? -Actually, I didn´t.
Because -- so basically I walk in and it was like Gigi Hadid,
Martha Hunt, like, these, like models,
and I just walk in like -- -I sat on a cat. I sat on a cat.
-[ Laughs ] Yeah. And so then this, like, really --
these two, like, attractive guys come in, and so I just went
to the bathroom and I had this, like, black turtleneck and pants
under it, and I just, like, went to the bathroom
and I just like, took it off. -Right.
-Then I came back, and I was like, it was really hot.
-"I´m a hot mime. Yeah. Hi, guys. That´s my outfit now."
-But I have to be a fat grandma because I really wanted
to be, salmon nigiri, and I couldn´t find that costume.
You know they make salmon nigiri costumes?
-What is salmon nigiri? -It´s like the sushi.
Like the salmon and the rice. -Oh, salmon nigiri.
Oh, yeah, yeah. -Yeah.
I thought it was like a show on Disney.
I go, wait a minute. "Salmon Nigiri,"
I´ve heard of it. Yeah. -Hi. I´m Salmon Nigiri.
-Salmon Nigiri. Yeah. Oh, yeah. -So yeah. That´s what I --
that´s what I did. -So that could be
a costume this year? -I could be or tamago.
-Yeah. How is a... what is tamago?
-Tamago is the egg. The omelet. The egg with the rice.
You´re not a big sushi fan are you, Jimmy?
-I am, but I´ve never -- You´ve said two things I never --
-What kind of sushi do you have?
-California roll! No, I, uh... [ Laughter ]
I´m sorry. I´m going to start crying.
-Shrimp tempura. -[ Laughs ]
-How is -- how is your grandma, by the way?
´Cause I know she´s a big supporter of you.
-She´s great. She´s probably watching right now.
Hi. Hi, Mami. -Hi, Grandma.
[ Cheers and applause ] -She´s great,
and she is going to be so excited about this performance.
Because obviously, you know, she loves this song.
My mom´s side of the family is Cuban.
I was born in Cuba, and my dad is Mexican.
-[ Woman cheers ] -Whoo!
Any Latinos in the house?
-Yeah, we have Latinos in the house.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah, of course.
-And so -- yeah, so this song was really special
to play for her, because, you know, it had such
a big part of her culture, and for me to kind of integrate
it with, you know, the current things that I listen to
was really cool. I remember I played it for her.
My mom had -- my grandma has this really, like, visceral way
of listening to music. Like, she, like, you know,
she´s, like, a Cuban lady. She feels it -- she feels it
with, like, her whole body, and I played her "Havana,"
and then there´s, like, this part where, like,
the beat drops, and she was like,
Like, she was, like...
-That´s exactly -- yeah. -Oh, really?
-You should just start saying that now.
-Ay, Dios! -Yes.
[ Cheers and applause ] -It fits you.
-Yeah. Is grandma on Twitter? -Dude, oh, my God. She...
-She is? -She got a Twitter,
and she basically -- you know she streams the song
all the time. Like, literally, I just look at her laptop,
and the song is on constant play to the point where we´ll be,
like, having a conversation and I hear like...
[ Softly ] ♫ Havana ♫
[ Normal voice ] Like super quietly.
-"Grandma, are you streaming the song again?"
-Yeah. -And she´s doing it because
she wants you built... -Yes, she´s just --
she´s super supportive, and you know, her getting
a Twitter is a -- it gives me complicated emotions.
-[ Laughing ] -Because sometimes --
like, one day she accidentally tweeted my mom´s phone number.
I don´t know how. -Oh, my gosh.
[ Laughter ] -And -- yeah.
It was pretty funny.
-Ay, Dios.
worked because "Havana" has been streamed
over, like, 100 million times. So congratulations on that.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you.
-How... -Thank you.
-First of many -- Now please talk to me all the time
when you come on. -Oh, my gosh, yes, absolutely.
-We love you here. Oh, my gosh, guys. Camila Cabello.
