Here we are again, backstage with the iconic, the legendary Ángela Aguilar. Honored to have you, queen. How are you feeling tonight?

I’m so happy. No more nerves. Tequila hit and the speech was good. I feel good. 

Drew Afaulo  

Period. I could hear the mariachis in the air.

Ángela Aguilar

I know!

Drew Afaulo  

Stunning and gorgeous. And when they walked out, I said, ‘Period, period, period,’ as they were walking past. ‘Yes, thank you. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Work, it, work, it.’ Love that. I think you’re stunning and amazing. So actually, first I want to ask you, how does it feel celebrating other women in music tonight? 

Ángela Aguilar  

It feels amazing. You know, I’m very happy to be here, because my mom has always been behind the scenes, and she was always my momager, she was like, helping me since I was very little with like my dress and stuff,

Drew Afaulo  

That’s cute. 

Ángela Aguilar   

And they’re honoring her tonight as well. 

Drew Afaulo 

Oh my gosh, how amazing.

Ángela Aguilar  

The first awards ceremony that they honor me and my mom, and she deserves it more than I do.

Oh my gosh, that’s so sweet and amazing. What a milestone. Incredible. So for some fun things, I actually am going to give you some flowers tonight.

Ángela Aguilar   

Thank you!

Drew Afaulo 

Yes, of course, these are for you, both literally and metaphorically, giving you your flowers. These are well known, my favorites, mine too. Look at us. OK, and we’re falling in love. My question for you is: Who do you give flowers to for getting you where you are now?
