Grammys 2018: Camila Cabello Gives Powerful Speech Supporting Dreamers


Camila Cabello arrives at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 28, 2018 in New York City.

Camila Cabello kept it real on the Grammys red carpet, where she momentarily excused herself from an interview with Ryan Seacrest so she could fix her "boob squish."

The "Havana" singer was dressed to impress in a body-skimming strapless red gown, but with cameras capturing her from all angles, she apparently (and understandably) wanted to make sure she looked flawless.

"there should be a word for the 'boob squish,'" she commented on Twitter, where she shamelessly shared a red carpet video of herself adjusting her boobs. "small boobed girls will understand."

"Hold on, I have to squeeze my boobs," she said in the middle of answering a question about her new album. Check out the clip below.

Camila Cabello Reveals Why Ed Sheeran Collab Isn't on Album, Talks Hanging Out With Taylor Swift

Camila Cabello chatted with Billboard’s Chelsea Briggs on the red carpet at Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Gala on Saturday (Jan. 27), discussing her chart successes, her unreleased Ed Sheeran collaboration and hanging out with Taylor Swift in Miami.

Speaking of simultaneously being No. 1 on both the Hot 100 chart with “Havana” and the Billboard 200 chart with her debut album, the former Fifth Harmony says, “It’s a lot going on right now. I just cried, and I think I cry like three times a day now. Oh god, I think I’m crying! It’s just amazing …mI’m really overwhelmed.”

Asked which song on her LP is the most vulnerable, she names “Real Friends,” explaining “that’s not something that’s easy to admit, is to be like ‘I’m lonely,’ because I feel like when you post on social media … everybody just posts like the highlight reel from their lives and unless you have a finsta [fake Instagram], people don’t really broadcast that part, which is like, I’m lonely, I’m afraid … and that’s what’s so great about music, and that’s something that you’ll never see from me in the public side, you’ll only hear in my music.”

Cabello also reveals why her collaboration with Sheeran didn’t end up appearing on her album, adding that it was “really hard” to tell him. “It’s like one of those weird things because I love him so much and he’s been one of my musical heroes and he knows that," she shares, "so I felt kinda weird ... but at the end it just didn’t fit sonically with the album, even though it’s such a great song, it just felt like the only one that felt like it was on another kind of album."

“But I definitely wanna do something with him again. I definitely think that’s gonna happen. I mean, I don’t know if it’s gonna happen from his side, but I’m gonna trick him,” Cabello jokes.

The singer also talks about hanging out with Swift, who was in Miami filming the music video for her song “End Game.” “I love her. She’s amazing,” says Cabello. “I love her, and I love that song. I brought her Cuban food … and we just ate a lot. It was great.”

Camila Cabello introduced U2 tonight at the Grammy Awards in New York City, where she delivered a brief, moving speech on being an immigrant to the United States. “Tonight, in this room full of music’s dreamers, we remember that this country was made by dreamers, for dreamers, chasing the American dream,” the former Fifth Harmony member said. “I’m here on this stage tonight because just like the Dreamers, my parents brought me to this country with nothing in their pockets but hope. They showed me what it means to work twice as hard and never give up. And honestly no part of my journey is any different from theirs. I’m a proud, Cuban-Mexican immigrant, born in eastern Havana, standing in front of you on the Grammy stage in New York City. And all I know is that just like dreams, these kids can’t be forgotten and are worth fighting for.” Watch that go down below.

“But once I was old enough to experience my first kiss, or the first time that I went on a date, I began writing songs about it, and I didn’t want to give them away to anybody else because they were about me."
