How familiar were you withMaskedSingerbefore you did the show?
And I just had so many friends on the show, Tori Kelly even.
And so I watched a few episodes, but I watched tons and tons of clips.
I had been in one competition before, onAmerican Idol, and it was not my favorite experience.
So it was, to me, something I never thought I would do.
And so when they called me, I didn’t need to think about it.
I said, “Absolutely, yes.”
I moved everything in my schedule around to be able to be there.
So I knew that she knew who I was the first episode after she said that.
It was a huge blessing.
I’m really, really grateful that I got to do it.
And have you heard from Nicole since you wrapped filming the show?
I mean nobody believes in me more than Nicole Scherzinger.
She’s just like my No.
Howdidyou do all of that stuff in that costume?
You were doing high kicks and splits.
Did you have to get special Bull pants to do all that?
With the costume, I had to ask for a couple of little minor adjustments in some numbers.
I took my cape off and wasn’t able to dance with my cape, or whatever.
But for the most part, I was able to do everything.
I just got more and more and more comfortable with the costume as the season went on.
It’s a wacky world, that show, so anything goes.
I’ve been obsessed with “Straight Up” by Paula Abdul since I was a child.
I don’t know.
The finale was emotional for you, emotional for Nicole, emotional for everyone it seemed.
What can you tell me about that moment and what it meant to you?
That moment in the finale was just really special to me.
I’ve always loved that song [“Invisible”] by Hunter Hayes.
And it felt like it was written for a younger version of Todrick.
It’s just such a beautiful song and the lyricism and the melody of it is just so powerful.
It just meant a lot to me.
I’m such a huge fan.
I know every Hunter Hayes song, and I love him so much.
That would have really helped me, so I hope that it helps someone tonight when I sing it.
How did the video from Hunter come together?
Well,Hunter was onMasked Singerhe was Astronautwhich was one of the clues in my clue package.
People were like, “Why is there an astronaut?”
So that’s why there was an astronaut floating around.
So the producers reached out to him and had him send me a message.
I know you have some very exciting stuff coming up in 2022.
What can you tell us about it?
Yeah, I’m going on my [Global 100 City Tour] March through May.
I’m really excited about that.
Next year is going to be full of music.
I’m filming new music videos.
This tour is going to be the biggest one I’ve ever done.
We’re in rehearsal right now, actually.
And so I’m just excited.
