In the nine-minute-clip, the 37-year-old can be seen telling her family, friends and staff about the gig. She then says, "I know what it feels like to be on that stage and I know what it feels like to be proud of the work that you've put in and to be recognised for it. And I just feel grateful that I'm able to bring that light and that energy." "This is a first. It's a first and it's amazing and I think it's perfect timing. Honestly, I'm really excited. I feel really good about it because I feel like it's the perfect opportunity for me to give the light back and lift people up, especially all the young women that are nominated.
