Misty Copeland

Yeah, it was kind of strange, right?

I mean, we would chat in between takes, but I was just improvising.

I mean, I had pointe shoes on, and I was just kind of making things up, and he didn't really give me much direction.

He just was like, I just wanted you to be in it.

Like, I envisioned you in this, and that was that.

Yeah, I don't know.

I thought the song made sense, especially for that time in our lives, like coming together and not really knowing each other and getting to know each other.

I thought it was cool.

He had said to me many times that he actually filmed the whole video with another dancer, and he was not satisfied.

And so that's when he started to look for me again.

There's like a line in the song that's like, I've been waiting to know her or something like that, that I feel like just kind of sums up that time and that moment of just him really wanting me in his life and making that happen.

And I think it changed my life in so many incredible ways.

And so it was like, you know, meant to be.

You know, Misty...

There's so much.

And I feel like I've never been someone that kind of like...

has a list or like, I have to do this.

I really try and let things play out and happen organically.

And if it makes sense that I'm like, okay, yes, this is, this is what we're doing, you know, but I'm open, you know, I'm open to just creating and, and,

Being able to be an artist in a different way now, to have more say in the stories that I'm telling.
