- Hangin' out with Madison Beer-
- Hey.
- on the red carpet.
- Yeah.
- How're you doing?
How's it feel to be here?
- Good, it feels good.
It feels hot, it feels muggy,
but it feels exciting.
- But you look gorgeous, you're glowing.
- Thank you, you too, thank you.
- I'm so excited for you
and your music career.
Obviously you've been
kicking butt for a long time,
really working hard.
What are you most looking forward to
the end of 2018, come 2019?
- My album to come out
and go on another tour.
I only got off of my tour a few months ago
and I'm having withdrawals.
I miss it so much.
So I'm excited to get back on the road
and just keep on pumping out music.
- I think pop music is in
such a cool place right now
where the genres are so bending.
Who would you love to
collaborate with, maybe,
that's someone that we
wouldn't guess you'd
maybe wanna work with?
- Daft Punk. So if you guys
are watching, hook me up.
- You heard it here first.
- Yeah, absolutely.
- And are you planning a new
tour coming up here soon?
- Yeah, so when the album's out I'm gonna
go on another world tour
which I'm super pumped about
and I just wanna hit all the spots,
go everywhere that I didn't go last time,
and I'm just-
I'm excited.
I'm really, really excited.
- Who are you in the
studio with right now?
Any producers you can talk about?
- Yeah, I mean I'm in the
studio with so many people.
When I get back I'm gonna go in with Savan
and Max Martin and that whole crew
that has done a lot of stuff
for people like Ariana,
who's performing tonight.
I'm excited to see.
I'm excited, for just so many people.
And the guy who did my
single, Home With You
is someone that I am very close with now
so he's done a lot of stuff with me.
- Well you have an incredible fan base.
For you though, who is
someone you fan girl over?
Like if you saw here tonight
you would wholeheartedly
need to take a selfie
with and fan girl over.
- Rihanna.
I would be on the floor unconscious.
- Have you ever been in
the same vicinity as her?
- I have.
At Coachella, she was at
an after-party I was at
and she walked by me and
at the top of my lungs
I shouted her name and
my friends were like,
"We don't know you. You're scaring us."
And it was just really embarrassing.
I don't think she'll
ever be friends with me
because she'll probably hear that story
and I'm telling you on a
live interview about this.
- We won't tell anyone.
What is it about her music
or her that inspires you?
- She's just an icon.
There's no one like her, I don't think,
so I just am obsessed with her.
- Aretha Franklin obviously
passed away this past week.
She is, speaking of an icon,
how has she maybe influenced your music
and what you're about?
- Everyone always said when I was younger
that I was so soulful and I feel like
she's soul queen obviously.
So one of my first covers ever
was Outlast by Etta James.
And Respect my Aretha
was just something I sang
all the time, I kid you not.
I feel like her music and her legacy
will live on for all of time.
Yeah, she left her mark in the world.
- Absolutely, well have fun tonight.
