-I loved the video for "God Is a Woman."
-Oh, thank you. =I mean, it's unbelievable.
Every second was like -- -I had to say to my brother,
I go, "Work." Yeah, that's right.
Every single -- -Work.
That was him. "Work." [ Laughter ]
-Quacking. -He's quacking?
-He's quacking. [ Laughter ]
Is it "work" or "quirk"? -Work.
-Oh, work. -But it's kind of like --
-It's quacking. -It depends on how far you want
to go with it 'cause, like, depending on your tone
it can kind of get a little "Q" in there like -- quork.
You know? [ Light laughter ]
You know -- quork. -Quork.
-Quork. -Quork.
Every frame of the thing -- -I hate that.
-You hate that? -I hate that.
It's going to be a meme now. I don't want it to be a meme.
-Oh, why? Why can't it be a meme?
-Too tired to be a meme today. -No, you've got to be a meme.
[ Laughter and applause ]
Every time now, "I'm too tired to be a meme."
Dude, that's going to be the meme.
"I'm too tired to be a meme today," is going to the meme.
You just called your own meme.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I was going to say, every two seconds of the video,
something totally different, visually awesome, amazing,
well-directed. But then, you --
-Mm-hmm. -I hear Madonna...
-Oh, yeah. -...is the voice of God.
-Oh, yes. -And I go, "How did you get
Madonna to do that?" -Um, I -- um, I texted her.
[ Laughter ]
-You just texted Madonna?
-Yeah, I texted her, which is so cool.
I can text Madon-- isn't it so cool?
-Oh, my gosh. That's crazy, I can't --
She's been on the show, and she would never even
remotely offer any communications at all to me.
She tells me to stay away but you can just text and go,
"Hey, I'm doing this video"? -Well, like, I texted her,
of course, because, like, without Madonna,
I wouldn't be able to make a song like that.
You know what I mean? She paved the way for all of us,
and has been here fighting that fight way longer than any of us.
-She is awesome. -Yeah.
I mean, so I -- -She's one of the coolest
people I've ever met. -Ever, in the whole world.
But, I just -- you know, of course I immediately thought of
her to be involved somehow because without her,
I wouldn't be able to make that song.
And so I texted her, and I was like, "Hey, um -- my next single
is called 'God is a Woman.' I'd love to send it to you
and see what you think. And there's, like, a little part
in the video that would be perfect for you if you would,
like, even consider doing it."
I was like, "I hate myself for even asking you any favors.
But you'll see why it's fitting. Here you go."
And she was like, "Oh, yeah, I'll do it.
Like, "I'll get into the studio tomorrow.
I'm in Portugal, so it's, like, a weird time right now.
But, I'll jump in." And I was like, "Okay.
Like, thank you so much." [ Laughter ]
And she was like, "Do you need me to be there and, like,
be in the video or, like, on camera?"
And I was like, "Oh, my God, no. You just need to do
this voiceover, like, that's so nice to offer.
I'm so grateful that you'd even consider it."
Yeah, so she's the coolest. She's a bad bitch.
-And -- yeah. [ Laughter ]
You said it. Yeah, I can't say that, yeah.
I would be afraid of Madonna, yeah, if I said that but --
I wanna talk about the album.
And I want to talk about the upside-down of it.
I want to talk about everything.
I want to talk about "Wweetener."
I want to hear everything. I'm going to go through
track listings with you. -Okay, okay.
-I wanna hear everything 'cause people are excited.
Your fans are excited, and this is the first --
[ Cheers and applause ]
We've been waiting for this.
And by the way, you're so good to your fans.
I know that there are fans here tonight that --
[ Screaming ]
They were sleeping over. -Yes!
-They were out getting tickets. -They were outside.
like, sleeping on the thing. -Where are you guys?
-They're right there. Oh, thank God.
Hi! -You want to go give them a hug?
-Can I say "hi"? -Go give them a hug?
Let's go say hi to them.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, come on. Who does this?
-Whoa! -Who does this to say "hi?"
-Oh, my God, I was like, "Why are you out --"
-That's Ariana. -Hi!
-Who does that? Oh, my God.
Ariana Grande, everybody.
