Tetris Kelly:
Hanging out with KATSEYE at Wango Tango. How are you doing, ladies?
KATSEYE:
I’m good!
All right, you know what I gotta start talking about right now: “GNARLY.” I mean, you guys, I feel like you did something. You got the Internet a little bit shook right now. So how was it to put the song out and see everything that happened once it was out in the world?
It was definitely a gag for everybody. And this is like what we felt the moment that we first heard the song. So we were so happy when we saw everybody’s reactions, especially after our first performance. We just got back from Korea doing all this promotion. So we’re excited because today is our first performance here in the U.S. So we’re here to gag.
Yeah, no. And, I mean, that’s what it did. Because I love seeing people, like, watch the performance and be like, Oh, the girls that get it, clearly get it, you know what I mean? So how was it just like, get the choreography and see that that was what changed everybody’s opinion about the song.
I mean, it looks amazing.
She’s like the choreography is good. She’s like gang, gang, gang.
No, literally, like we’re shaking ass. We’re having fun. And I feel like the crowd really, like, just saw us being confident and selling it. And so we’re just super excited. And we 100% stand behind the song. We love it, and we mostly love performing it. So we’re really excited.

Tetris Kelly:
‘Nah nah nah gnarly, everything’s gnarly.’ I love that you know that song, and love it already.
Meghan Trainor:
I love it. I’ve seen it 100 times.
At first I didn’t get it, and then I got it.
The ones that get it, get it. That’s how I get it.
Work with KATSEYE. I feel like that is two of my faves together. That’s something we should make happen.
Yeah, except like, how do I perform next to them yo? They’re the best dancers I’ve ever seen.
You got the moves. I think you can keep up.
Hi, I love you.
I love you, too. Speaking of collaborations-
Do you like the dress?
The dress looks amazing. I love the pink. Bringing it to Wango Tango. New song, Mimi Webb.
Do you like it?
I do love it. Tell me about the song and how it was to work with her.
She’s on my label, and so they called me and were like, would you ever work with Mimi Webb? And I was like, I love Mimi Webb. The biggest Mimi Webb fan there is, is my husband, Daryl [Sabara]. So he was like, “Please work with her.” And then we met, we fell in love. And then I wrote this chorus the night before because I wanted Daryl to be able to read my mind.
