Misty Copeland

And so I thought that the lyrics and the, I don't know, it just kind of all worked and made sense.

And he just sat, you know, right next to the camera guy filming it.

He sat on a, what do you call it, an Apple box with his camera and was just taking pictures of me throughout the whole shoot.

What did that feel like?

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.

Thank you.

I'm excited to be here.

Yeah, it's so interesting to just kind of process all that I'm feeling.
