Neither one of them are parents yet – only one of them is even old enough to drink – but Normani and Khalid feel like they’ve collaborated on something as important as a child. They sat down with Vevo to discuss their collaboration and how it came about.

According to Khalid, they had talked about working together for quite awhile before they got a chance to do it. And when Fifth Harmony started to wind down, Normani jumped on the opportunity to work with one of her closest friends.

The pair claim they didn’t go into the creative process with the mentality of creating a hit, with Khalid saying  “We were not worried about a hit at all. We were worried about making a good song that we both love.” And they’ve succeeded! And what better way for Normani to introduce herself as a solo artist, unbound from the other girls in 5H?

Khalid also quizzed her on what’s coming on Normani’s debut solo album. She still doesn’t have a title or release date, but she’s plenty psyched, telling him that with the disc, she wants to represent “little girls who look like me”, repaying the work of the African American artists who inspired her as a child. She even promises to give Khalid the first copy, once the disc actually happens.

If it seems like these two have chemistry – you’re not wrong. Last summer Normani showed up in the video for “Young Dumb & Broke”, playing the prom queen to Khalid’s king, and rumors were flying even then that they might be a couple. For now they’re claiming to just be “the best of friends”, but don’t be surprised if they get a little closer by the end of the year!

Listen. There seem to be a lot of people who are pretty upset that Carrie Underwood still looks flawless after her accident, and after saying her face might look different when she comes back. I’m not sure why that would bother you – she’s human and has insecurities just like the rest of us, and at the time, she had a bunch of stitches in her face and really didn’t know what that was going to mean in the future. And she also has a team of professionals who are experts at using makeup to disguise pretty much any flaw. So go ahead and take a seat.

Carrie talked about the accident to Hoda Kotb on the Today show, and about her first performance after the accident, when she sang “Cry Pretty” at the ACM Awards. Turns out there were some insecurities there, too, and she said it was like she was living the song while she was singing it, but then went back to just Carrie when it was over. So that standing ovation she got? It was a little uncomfortable.

Watch the whole interview here, and find out where her favorite place to cry is. If you’re wondering, and I know you are, mine is in the kitchen. Possibly with ice cream. Or wine. Or cake. I’m not picky.
