“I’m so grateful that I somehow managed to feel like a professional singer,” she said on Diversity‘with Prize giving round podcast in June 2023. “I mean, we had so much time to rehearse and we had a great team of people helping us… we had so much time together, and so much time to rehearse, that’s not typical. It was really extremely efficient and was the only way we could feel, in my opinion, like we knew what we were doing.”
