You also are nominated for a Grammy this year for Best New Artist. Congratulations. Thank you. It is like your career is incredible and watching you grow has just been so fucking cool. But I know you from when we met at the Baby to Baby Gala.

60.882 - 82.654 Alex Cooper

yeah i need to hear what your favorite moment is from that event because i i know we met like briefly but we were sitting next to each other i was dying you are so funny you're so charismatic you have such a personality what do you remember from that event i think our table was so fun we had like very fun people with us and we had fun just talking about things that

82.634 - 105.773 Alex Cooper

people would never talk in a fancy table of auction you know dinner I don't think yes Anita and I are like we meet and two seconds later Anita's like so like how does your vagina smell and I was like oh hey girl what's up we're like let's talk about our buttholes and our vaginas as like a corporate Spotify person is sitting directly to our left my favorite was also when

105.753 - 116.809 Alex Cooper

they not that like everyone knows the baby to baby gala but so there's like angels that work at the event so oh my god

Chapter 2: What makes Anitta one of the most successful Brazilian artists?

117.278 - 134.424 Alex Cooper

So Anita is like chilling. And like now it's like towards the end of the night, like people have left, but like people are saying, so Anita's like, no girl, like I got an early morning, like I'm going to dip out. And I'm like, totally get it. I'll be leaving soon. So everyone in the crowd is sitting and they're like, hey, can all the angels stand up?

0

134.725 - 152.813 Alex Cooper

To give people context, it's about 11 women in a crowd of 300. And they go, everyone, all the angels stand up. Anita... Just starts standing up. She's like, bye everyone. I got to go. And it's dead silent room. And she was like, wait. And I'm like, Anita, it's only the angels. It's worse than that.

0

153.033 - 161.427 Anitta

It's worse than that. Tell us. In my mind, I thought she was telling, she was calling all the women angels.

0

161.407 - 187.026 Alex Cooper

stand up all the women and i thought all the women was gonna stand out that's why i stood up and you're like this is the perfect moment for me to like sneak out the back door only 11 people of like 300 and anita literally sits back down she's like mother that was terrible it was it was a great moment let's kind of go back through like your life a little bit to get to know you better what was life like where you grew up outside of rio de janeiro

0

187.006 - 208.744 Anitta

So people don't think when they see me or they see like my songs and whatever, they don't imagine that I come from like the communities. It could be called the ghetto a little bit. It's like the favelas. When you go to Brazil, there's like communities, places that like the houses are really close to each other. It's a really like humble place, simple place.

208.724 - 226.581 Anitta

i come from a place like that i was born and raised in a place like that my mom used to do the best she could to fake the danger and the bad size of it for me and my brother so we all see everything with like this beauty and playing in the streets things like that very like

226.561 - 248.639 Anitta

very like in the hood you know yeah and uh and but she always told us that a way for us to leave there it's not that we don't like there but we all want to leave because we want a better life so she always said that the only way to get out would be studying and we always did the best we could like studying and doing like all we could and um I always loved music.

248.999 - 262.305 Anitta

So I started doing music, but also like studying everything. I was my own manager for like 10 years. Me and my brother were partners. So it was a whole job, not only from arts, but also like business.

262.505 - 267.011 Alex Cooper

When and at what age did you realize your love for performing?

Chapter 3: How did Anitta's upbringing influence her music career?

868.556 - 904.125 Anitta

Snoop Dogg. That is... For sure. Because I think him and Cardi B. Because they are so funny. Snoop Dogg is very simple, humble, and he's like... Everything for him is a vibe. It's all about if he likes you, if he likes your energy. He has something kind of, I don't know, he sees someone and he feels the energy and then he decides if he likes or not. I feel, I think so.

0

904.345 - 929.925 Anitta

That's what I think from him. because i just feel like i can hug him and be there like safe forever i think he's one of the coolest guys and cardi b should just funny but good energy like best energy like high level i love that i was reading the list i'm like pharrell missy elliott snoop dogg rita aura cardi b saweetie becky g i'm like Back is one of my best friends.

935.413 - 956.442 Alex Cooper

Okay. Anita, you're also known for your dancing. Okay. The Anita challenge went viral on Tik TOK, which I remember just watching these videos and being like one, how is this not getting censored on Tik TOK? I can't even like fucking curse in my Tik TOK. Meanwhile, people are like doing the challenge and like, it's incredible watching it. Can you explain how,

0

956.422 - 982.233 Anitta

how twerking in brazil is different than twerking in america because it's not even only twerking it's partying in general i think here in america people in the parties they are more concerned about who they're with uh where they're going what they're wearing and you know it's like the table situation in brazil there's no table situation You go to the party, there's no table.

982.253 - 1009.53 Anitta

Everyone is just one place mass together. Find out, you know, and we love dancing. We love dancing. Sometimes we don't even understand whether you're singing. We just want to dance. Sometimes it's just the same lyrics over and over. They just sing a different melody, just same words always. And we love it. We just want to dance. We just want to listen and dance.

1009.628 - 1039.112 Anitta

what is it like being known for like the way that you dance though are you like so proud of yourself it's crazy because in brazil it started this fever of like oh we're gonna do anita moves anita moves okay now we need you to twerk okay okay so this is gonna be iconic i think people will fucking love it is this the wrong surface oh my god okay okay so do you want music we have music no it doesn't need to okay so you just go like you're gonna do a push-up right okay and then you just

1039.447 - 1056.624 Anitta

do a circle that basically you're doing this with your knees. You focus here in your hips. So it's like a pushup. That must take a lot of upper body. You're doing this, but in this position.

1057.886 - 1061.529 Alex Cooper

Anita. Oh my God. I can only dream.

Chapter 4: When did Anitta realize her passion for performing?

1279.335 - 1303.663 Anitta

You know, yeah, they just make they point. It's like they point things and other people that they are actually talking about you, but they pretend they're not. And then, oh, honey, I'm almost a psychologist. I look and I'm like, hmm, okay. And then I start bringing shit over for themselves to think. So you mean like they'll point something out in someone in a room? Yeah, for sure.

0

1303.683 - 1307.026 Alex Cooper

That like relates to you or is like what you don't have?

0

1307.206 - 1315.454 Anitta

Or just say like, you see, that's so bad. Oh, my God. Kind of like to guide you how to not be.

0

1315.695 - 1319.018 Alex Cooper

Are you usually the one breaking up with people or they...

0

1319.892 - 1326.066 Anitta

I am. I need that to change though. I think that's why I'm waiting so much. I want things to be different.

1326.146 - 1330.737 Alex Cooper

Got it. What is like a deal breaker for you in a relationship?

1331.278 - 1338.795 Anitta

When I feel suffocated. I don't like that. Or when...

1340.429 - 1362.64 Anitta

i think when i feel suffocated is the number one thing like when the guy doesn't let you breathe and like jealousy for no reason you know like too much come on or needy like i miss you i want to talk to you like 24 7 come on give me a break give me a time to breathe right there's nothing more like unattractive which i get it we're all insecure but being in a relationship with someone that's

1363.008 - 1372.847 Alex Cooper

so insecure about you in the relationship, it's, like, such a turnoff. You're like, can you just, like, get into therapy, muster the courage?
