And yeah, I mean, so much 32 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: has happened. Okay, let's talk a little bit about it. 33 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: Like I said, I VF. I tried it, and I 34 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: don't want to get into it too much right now, 35 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have like a full episode on that 36 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: because I think it's important to really just explain certain things. 37 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: So I did start it, but I didn't finish it, 38 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: so I'll tell you about that in another episode. Anyways. Okay, 39 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: So my own's anniversary ten years. I can't say it enough, 40 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: you guys. I can't believe it's already been ten years. 41 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: I can't believe I've lived this long without my mother, 42 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: Like I just don't know how it happened, when it happened. 43 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: I just feel like it's the grace of God that 44 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: poured upon my siblings and I to like help us 45 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: get through everything. But let me tell you, I have 46 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: felt her more than ever, starting like with the Grammys, 47 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: I always start feeling her a lot, like October, November, December, 48 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: going into the new year. So it's like I've been 49 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: feeling her, you know, these past few months, and so 50 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: much has happened. Two was very, very emotionally draining, I think, 51 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: and I've explained this to you guys in past episodes 52 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: for my siblings and I and everything that's happened. But 53 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: I feel like towards the end of the year, my 54 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: mom really showed up and showed off in all of 55 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: our lives. And it was just beautiful to be able 56 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: to celebrate her life because for her tenth ye anniversary, 57 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: we did not want to mourn her. Although December nine 58 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: is a sad day for us, we didn't want to 59 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: mourn her. We wanted to celebrate her life. So that 60 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: was a beautiful, beautiful moment. I had my siblings over 61 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: my nieces and nephews, and we just wanted to spend 62 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: time together and and celebrate the woman. So that was nice. 63 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: So let's go back a little bit before that though, 64 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: because we have the Latin Grammys. Oh my god. Okay, 65 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: So I won my second Latin Grammy, you guys, and 66 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: the Tuesday before the Latin Grammys, I found out that 67 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: I was nominated for the American Grammy. Dude, that was 68 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: something I hadn't even expected. I wasn't waiting for it. 69 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: I was at the gym working out, getting ready and 70 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: super zoned in on my first performs at the Latin 71 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: Grammys um My nomination. So I was just like so 72 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: engulfed in that. So when I got the call from 73 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: my manager, Mr. Bull Richard Bull, he calls me. He 74 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: never really calls me. We're not like, I'm not a 75 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: phone person anymore of like just text me sort of 76 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: thing or voice note me. So when he called me, 77 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, what's going on? So I answered 78 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: and he was like crying, He's probably gonna be super 79 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: bad at me for saying this, but it's the truth. 80 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: He was kind of like, and I'm like, oh my god, 81 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: I swear to you. I thought something happened. I thought 82 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: because Johnny drove to Vegas, so I thought, oh my god, 83 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: did something happened to Johnny? Like right away, my syblies 84 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: came to mind and I'm like, no, it's not. Jennica 85 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: was here, because she was in Vegas with me. I 86 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: was like Jackie, I just spoke to her. I was like, 87 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: it has to be Johnny. But then I'm like no, 88 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: like you know, and he's like and I'm like, what 89 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: what happened?

I felt to 96 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: my knees. I felt so weak, my legs were trembling 97 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: because I had forgot or maybe I just I didn't 98 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: even know what day I was living in you guys, 99 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: I was just so focused and it was just a beautiful, 100 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,559 Speaker 1: beautiful surprise, and I was just like, Wow, this week, 101 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: I could not get any better, and then it did. 102 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: We won. We performed, we killed it, that song that 103 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: I sang or my song, and then the song it 104 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: came out beautiful. They were so respectful, they are so nice, 105 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: they're so talented. Shout out to them. So the morning 106 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: of November seventeen, the day of the Latin Grammys, we 107 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: had rehearsals. So I went to rehearsals early in the morning, 108 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: and I'm so glad we did rehearsals because I wanted 109 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: it to be like you know, I was singing live 110 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: and I wanted it to be perfect, So that was awesome. 111 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: It went great. Then from there, Um, I don't even 112 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: think I ate much that day, you guys, not because 113 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: I didn't want to eat or feel like I was 114 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: gonna feel bloated. I just wasn't really hungry. I was 115 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: just so excited, so focused that I probably picked out 116 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: a few things. But anyways, I went into hair and 117 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: makeup fairly early because after rehearsals we had I think 118 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: hair and makeup was at one and we stopped rehearsals 119 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: at twelve thirty. We finished rehearsals at twelve thirty, So anyways, 120 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: everything was kind of running a little late, and I 121 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: wanted to be at they have like a pre show 122 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: where my category was a part of.

I'm not gonna 125 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: lie because I was like, oh, I wish it was 126 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: like part of the big show. But I'm so happy 127 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: that it turned out that way because it worked out 128 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: so perfectly. So while I was getting ready, I wanted 129 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,559 Speaker 1: to get ready really quick so that I could be 130 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: at the pre show too, maybe hopefully you know, get 131 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: my award and have it their physic glee and be 132 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: able to give my you know, my acceptance speech. But 133 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: everything was running behind, so I was like, you know what, 134 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna relax. I'm gonna watch it on the 135 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: laptop because it was live, and then that's how we 136 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: found out. And it was perfect because my whole team 137 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: was there. I didn't even know that everyone was recording 138 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: until afterwards. Everyone had their phones on, like and I think, 139 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: I think, oh, it's it's on Instagram, you guys. You 140 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: guys could go check it out, like the actual video 141 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: where I'm like, you know what, it's okay, it's okay, 142 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: but anyways, we won, and it was awesome because then 143 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: I just finished getting ready for the Red carpet, which 144 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: I wore that beautiful gold dress, and I think it's 145 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: the best freaking dress that I wore in my life. 146 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: It's the best Red carpet that I've ever experienced, because 147 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: that pressure of am I gonna win or not was 148 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: completely off because I had already won. So everyone was 149 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: congratulating me and I was just chilling on the red carpet. 150 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, the questions, We're gonna 151 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: just be super chill.

Hey, shout out to Ricky, my stylists, and 154 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: also the designer Ray Ortiz. My glam team was on 155 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: point that day. The entire look for the Latin Grammys, 156 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: I feel like, was just top tier. I felt so beautiful. 157 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's conceited to say, but I 158 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: felt so beautiful. I felt like it was just so 159 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,239 Speaker 1: different for me. Everything the hair, even the makeup, the dress, 160 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: but that's how I pictured it. I wanted to be 161 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: the Grammy. I was like, you know what, even if 162 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: we don't take it home, I am still an award. 163 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: I am still a trophy. So I want to look 164 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: like a Grammy. So that was my inspiration.
