Trevor is joined by genre-defying artist and performer, Janelle Monáe, whose 2023 album, The Age of Pleasure, was recently nominated for two GRAMMYs, including Album of the Year. Janelle shares her reaction to that honor, her rebellious youth, and why she used to be scared of mentor Prince and Grace Jones. Trevor also shares an exclusive GRAMMY update of his own, and his theory on why Beyoncé was late to the last one.
