Heeeeyyy! I'm taking you behind the scenes at Z100's Jingle Ball this episode!

I’m breaking down my full iHeartRadio Jingle Ball NYC experience from start to finish: We’re talking backstage access, the All Access Lounge, and up-close moments with artists like Zara Larsson, Alex Warren, Reneé Rapp, Conan Gray, Laufey, Darren Criss, and Kevin Woo from K-Pop Demon Hunters (yes, one of the Saja Boys). Plus: surprise sightings including Nelly (tell your grandparents), Eli Manning, and more.

I’m sharing what Jingle Ball is really like behind the scenes, standout performances (including Zara Larsson’s Lush Life dancer moment and Alex Warren sending the crowd into a frenzy), my ongoing beef with the NYC subway system, and why post-show McDonald’s just hits different.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like working a massive music event, navigating New York City under pressure, or seeing pop stars backstage at MSG, this one’s for you!
