And I remember … I think that at the time, it was an album, which is Camp by Donald Glover [Childish Gambino]. I remember sitting at the corner of my bed and "Heartbeat" appeared and I was like Whoa. I gaped in front of me and felt like I had completely missed a world, you see? I was really like, Oh, shit. That's what I missed. That's what I like.

Congratulations to Billie and Lil Nas X for their success.
