Genie in a Bottle

... stop that from happening ever again, you know?

Just to double-check, were you walking up and down Manhattan, uh, in an all pink outfit blasting Genie in a Bottle in a JBL speaker?

Is, is that gay?

Like let's have a little bit of [laughs] like realism here." But you know what I can do, is I can stick these in my ears, and depending on what mood I'm in, I can put worship music on, or I can put on my '90s girl power.
