She added,

“To this day, listen, to this day, I truly never knew she was ever on the stage. That’s the craziest part of the whole thing for me. I was on that stage, Jay was in the middle, she was on the other side of Jay, and I never saw her. Never! So yeah, that was wild to me.” 

She continued,

“But it’s not even a thing. That was then. You know she’s from New York too, and I think she really felt the energy of the record, and she loved it, and she couldn’t hold herself back. Look, this is what my music does to people, what can I say!”
