Tetris Kelly:
Hanging out with the Tinashe at WeHo Pride. How are you feeling, baby?
Tinashe:
I’m good. I’m excited to hit the stage.
Tetris Kelly:
I love that we got her before she hits the stage. So we’re, like, prepping for the performance.
Tinashe:
Well, I can’t come after — I’ll be all sweaty!
Tetris Kelly:
No, we don’t want that! I’m excited for you because you’re performing at this Pride. You’re heading to Miami to perform at Pride. So tell me what is special about, like, a Pride show versus your own shows?
Tinashe:
Yeah, I mean, the audience is already ready to party. Everyone’s here with great energy, great excitement. So I think it’s gonna be a good time.
Tetris Kelly:
And what do you think it is about your music? Because we all know, I mean, you connect with the family, so what is it about your music that you think touches the LGBTQ+ community so much?
Tinashe:
I think it’s just like a sense of unapologetic-ness and confidence. And you know that bad b—h sexy, unapologetic energy. Like, who doesn’t like that?
