To be grounded and absorb the moment properly. The artist said she likes to skip the traditional practice of riding fancy limos to the Dolby. Theater in Los Angeles and instead walks up to the ceremony. For a megastar like her, this was a major surprise to both the audience and Jimmy.

“So I have a few of rituals and things that I like to do before I go. One of which is to go for a stroll. I don’t like getting in the car, you know, the long limo journey, because I don’t like coming out and seeing everyone yelling and whatnot. So I slip in. I sneak in because, you know, everyone comes out and stands there looking at the red carpet, so I creep in behind them.”
