“I plan on keeping… this whole thing is just a mess… I plan on still making music so you don’t have to worry about that. I want to just to keep going where all musicians go, well where they aim to be,” she said. “I just want to explore and keep making music and doing what I love to do for the rest of my life. And meeting you guys, because you are all so sweet!”

“You can only go up from here,” she said in the video. “It’s amazing just to be on a show that’s shown around the entire nation … That’s so many people I’ve been able to sing to.”
