What's up, guys? Nicki Novac here for Young Hollywood. I've got a crush and it's on Ciara. So good to see you again.

It's great to see you too.

The last time I saw you in our studio you had these short shorts on, and these hot thigh-high boots, and I was like this is the most gorgeous girl. I mean, because we play a loop of interviews that happened in our studio, and people will stop during an interview when your ad comes on.

Oh my gosh, that's so sweet. Thank you. I've been awesome. How about you?

I've been good. I've been good. Awesome. So, um, first of all, we were just talking about hair. You inspired me to get highlights. Thank you. Gotta ask you about what you're loving right now in fashion and everything.

Um, in fashion, honestly, um, I felt 90s was a theme last year where you know we, fashion was being inspired by the 90s and kind of going back to that. I still feel like that's a theme, and I feel like um, fashion is in a very expressive time right now, where everyone's just kind of like expressing themselves and like celebrating themselves, like really finding true individuality. And um, I think that's where fashion is right now. So it's kind of like you can't even say it's one particular thing. It's just like a time where everyone's being like very expressive. And it's really fun to see.

I love that you're rocking like a casual jacket, a leather jacket. And is that okay to do like at a black tie or something like that?

At this event, um, for me because I was on the jelly, jelly mode dance floor.

I saw you on the jelly mode dance floor.

Ah, this was appropriate, you know, um, but at a black tie, if I was just having to just be there and dress up, I would definitely put on a dress, but this is more fitting for the floor.

Speaking of which, Yes. I saw your jellylicious move. Jelly, shake that jelly, shake that jelly. All right. Will you stand up and teach it to me?

No, no, listen, let me tell you, don't put me on blast. Um, you know, it was really fun, you know, the um, the new Candy Crush Jelly Saga is super exciting. Um, and being on that cool LED floor that that they'd created to bring it to life is super awesome. Um, I feel like I need one in my house.

I know, right? Don't we all? Yeah. What is your dance floor style? Are you going out there and you're like the center of the, center of the floor?

No, I get very shy.

Do you?

You know, sometimes I get more bold when it's like a group of me and my friends and we kinda been hanging for a while and then I'm like, you know what? Let's just go and have fun, because I feel like sometimes people always anticipate me to go on the dance floor.

So, this is Grammy Week. Yes. You've won a Grammy. What does that feel like?

It's um, it's really cool. It's um, definitely a feeling that you want to feel again and again and again. It's like eating candy. You can't have this one, you want to have more.

Exactly. You can never get enough of those. Who are you listening to right now?

Sade, Teddy Pendergrass, Luther Vandross, some good old Whitney Houston throwback. And if I would say like what's happening right now in music, I love Drake. I love Adele's music. I think she's incredible. Kendrick Lamar. I mean, I I honestly listen to all kinds of music. I love Taylor Swift too, so um, I just love good music.

Who is on that list would you like to collaborate with?

I've always wanted to work with Drake. It'd be cool to do something together. And Kendrick too.

And 'cause we're talking about Candy Crush tonight. Yes. Girl crush, who's your girl crush?

I'll just say one of my girl crushes for years would probably be Janet Jackson. Actually, I know, I just thought about her. My other girl crush is Angelina Jolie.

How could it not be, though, right?

And Halle Berry. I feel like she's kinda like, oh my gosh. All three. All three of them together. Those are awesome. They're really beautiful ladies.

How how did this collaboration come about?

Um, well, King Digital reached out to me. And um, you know, they it was super exciting because they had this whole new Candy Crush Jelly Saga and I'm sure you have to be aware of how fun and exciting this game is. And um, my dad actually was a fan of the game um. It's very addictive. It's it's so much fun. You know what? You Honestly, once you start playing it, you can't stop. It's fun too, like even if you're sitting in glam, you know, and just um.

What is what is glam? Define glam.

Okay, with my hair and makeup, when they're doing my hair and makeup.

Okay, thank you. That's what I thought you meant. Needed it defined. Okay. Yeah.

Um, when I'm sitting in glam getting ready, you know, I play it. And you know, when I'm in the airport. It doesn't matter where I am. I can play the game, which is really fun.

Have you had a celebrity encounter, 'cause I'm sure you've turned people to jelly, that you met somebody that was like your idol and you went, I'm jelly.

You know, the one person that I I think would have done that to me that I never got to meet was Michael. I talked to him on the phone before and that was super cool. But I know if I if I, he's the only person I think if I met, I would have just frozen.

Talked to him on the phone?

Yeah, I did. Yeah. He wanted to me wanted me to be a part of a song he was doing with like many of us artists. And I missed the first phone call from Michael Jackson. How funny is that?

I would have missed it. Did you know he was gonna call?

I deliberately was playing my music loud to get myself like relaxed and calm, like speak to my idol. And then I missed the phone call. And his assistant left a message. And then I actually made sure not to miss the next call.

Okay, real quick, one beauty tip. One secret beauty tip that you've learned.

Um, drink tons of water. I think water is good for your body all the way around. Highlights in your hair, make your outfits, you know, make you, you don't have to try as hard with the outfits when you have like a cool highlight in your hair. Just everything works.

You're amazing. Great to see you. Congratulations on the Grammys. I'm gonna go hit the dance floor now.

Thank you so much.

All right. Go get your go shake your jelly. I'm gonna go do that move that you did before that I probably won't do as well, but I'm gonna try.
