-Let's go back to earlier this year.
-
Do you remember that? The Grammy --
-
At the Grammy Awards,
-
you guys took home 11 Grammys between both of you
-
for "When We All Fall Asleep."
-
What do -- That's what I call it.
-
I abbreviate it now. -[ Laughs ] It's okay.
-
-I say "When We" now.
-
When you guys recorded "When We"...
-
-[ Laughs ] "When We."
-
-No, but what do you remember about that night?
-
-It was amazing.
-
It was, like, one of the best nights ever for me.
-
I -- Uh, yeah, it was pretty peak, I would say.
-
-[ Laughs ] -You know?
-
-Yeah. Yeah. I would say so.
-
-But it was also, like, not because we won.
-
It was just because... -We were there.
-
-...that we were there. Like, you know, just being there --
-
Just being nominated is so amazing and rare,
-
so, you know, that was -- that was --
-
We were already happy.
-
I remember when we got there that morning,
-
me and Finneas were like, "We're good.
-
We don't need to win. -Yeah. Exactly.
-
-We don't need -- Like, we're already here.
-
You know, we're not worried.
-
If we win or if we don't win,
-
it's just amazing that we get to be here."
-
And, crazily... -[ Laughs ]
-
-Yeah.
-
You wouldn't even guess it.
-
Crazily, you kept winning. Yeah.
-
-Yep.
-
-I loved -- They cut to you, Billie,
-
right before I think it was
-
Album of the Year, Record of the Year.
-
And they cut to you, and you were mouthing,
-
"Please don't be me."
-
-[ Laughs ]
-
-I was like, "That is so you." Like, "Please don't be me."
-
And I think I know why you were doing it.
-
'Cause I -- Not like we're best friends or anything,
-
but I feel like, knowing you, you're going like, "I'm good.
-
I had a good night. I'm good. Let's end this now."
-
Is that what you were thinking, or what were you...?
-
-You know, I don't know what I --
-
I was very overwhelmed, but only in a way of...
-
it's so amazing, I can't believe it.
-
Not like, "I don't want..." You know what I mean?
-
-Yeah. No. Yeah. -It's like --
-
how can you feel like you deserve that kind of thing?
-
But I will say, though, that the next day,
-
we were over here, and Alicia Keys called me,
-
and she wanted to congratulate me.
-
And she basically said on the phone,
-
which is something that I, like, hold so dear to me, which is --
-
'Cause, you know, she won a billion Grammys
-
when she was really young -- her first Grammys I think.
-
And she called me, and she was like,
-
"I just wanted to say don't be embarrassed for being dope."
-
-[ Laughs ]
-
That is so her, by the way.
-
-So good. -That is so her.
-
-It's true. Yeah. -Are you guys --
-
You were on tour or like three dates into it,
-
and then you had to cancel?
-
-Yep. -Yeah.
-
-Bummer? Or were you a little bit like,
-
"Oh, yeah, maybe I needed a little break"?
-
Or I don't know.
-
-Kind of both.
-
I was really looking forward to that tour for like months.
-
Um, but, you know... [Laughs] at the time,
-
we were like, "Well, we could use two weeks off."
-
-[ Laughs ] Yeah. Cut to six months off.
-
You're like, "Okay." -Yeah. Yeah.
-
So, yeah, it was great
-
for like the first couple weeks, first month,
-
and then it was like, "Okay.
-
You know. When can this be done?"
-
But we have made the best of it, I would say.
-
I think we've really done what we should've done in this time,
-
and we've made a lot of music,
-
and I don't think we would have made it otherwise
-
if we hadn't have gotten this time.
-
So as much as it's been terrible to have, you know,
-
this going on in the world, I think it has...
-
-We've been really lucky. -...birthed some things.
-
We have been really lucky with it, I think.
-
-And you're happy with the songs you wrote?
-
-Yeah, we're writing a lot.
-
-Yeah, I love them. -It's really fun.
