“It feels amazing. I’m so grateful for the response. Everyone has been all around positive and I’m not supposed to read things like that but I’ve been on Twitter just reading,” she said to Scores during the interview. “It’s been the most positive reaction to anything I ever put out. When you work so hard -- I’m going to cry.”
