I believe you have a reference to Anna Wintour. Do you remember that? Yes. She's right there if you'd like to call her out. Well, and that's the one I was like, hey, Anna, Anna. Say it, say it. I was like, hey, Anna, Anna, it's your girl, Nikki and I, oh, I'm going to need that cover, baby girl. That's what I said. That's what I said to the queen. I said, I'm going to eat that cover, baby girl. And I remember being in the studio cracking up laughing. I definitely didn't think she would ever hear it either. Well, she just did. She's right there. At that time, that was my first album. So I didn't even think anybody was going to buy my first album. It ended up, yeah, it broke huge records. And I was thinking, oh, no, no one knows me. It's not going to sell. No one's going to hear it. But yeah. Well, in like about a decade later, you did end up on the cover of Vogue and a full circle moment. And first of all, I think on your speed dial, you should change Anna's name to baby girl.
