Sofia Carson Dances for WE Day

So here we are. We Day, empowering the youth. Absolutely. So, did you know there's a We Day dance?

No.

Pretend we have some music. Okay. Now, you're going to go right, left, and then cross, cross, cross, cross. Want to put it all together?

Yes.

Okay, are we ready? Let's go. We're ready. They're like, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, two, two, two, two. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Do, do airplane. Woo! Go. Up. Up. Up. Yes! Awesome. That was fun. Amazing. Did you choreograph this?

I did not.

Amazing. And at the end, they go, oh, the wee, the wee sign. What makes you passionate about this day?

You know, I've been a fan of the We movement for many years. I feel so honored to be here among so many empowered celebrities and artists and musicians, like Alicia Keys, Selena, Demi, and most importantly, the real rock stars today are the 15,000 kids out there who, you know, hopefully will walk out of this room today feeling so empowered, so inspired to follow their dreams, so that they can truly make a difference in the world by being beautiful human beings, by having beautiful hearts and, um, it's a really empowering day to be a part of.

Tell me what your passionate about.

You know, I feel very lucky that I get to do what I love every day, which is, I get to sing, I get to act, I get to perform, write songs. But I have a really beautiful responsibility that comes with the job, which is that, you know, there luckily, a lot of kids out there that I can hopefully impact in in a positive way. And growing up, I was raised by a really strong woman as a mother, and I was, I always admired women like Alicia Keys who were role models for girl power. So, for me, I I hope to be, um, that for a little girl, if possible, to teach her that she can do anything that she dreams of, that she can love herself and know that she's beautiful on the inside. That's what matters most, and that she's unstoppable.

Well, let's talk about your characters, Descendants 2.

Yes, is upon us. It's so soon. We're so thrilled. We're just honored to be able to continue to tell the story. It's such a beautiful message, you know, in tune with the We Day message is about four kids who were from the wrong side of town, who are the kids of villains, who were raised to be a certain way, to be evil, but they had the power to choose to be good, to change their world for the better. And I feel so lucky to be able to tell that story.

What also makes you lucky is, I'll say her name. Britney Spears. I mean, we have to talk about this coming up.

Yes, so, it's it's such a, I think it's probably going to be one of those moments in your career that you can't even believe are real. Like, those pinch me moments. I'll be hosting the RDMAs on Saturday, and I have the honor of honoring the icon Britney Spears by singing Hit Me Baby One More Time, which is my favorite of her songs. And, um, I'm very excited. I have butterflies in my stomach. She's going to be there watching, which is just like the ultimate. So, yeah.
