    “You know, having good information and bad information, you know, all the hard, you know, it’s been a lot of beautiful things but a lot of hard things and people have really committed to me a lot of their time and so.”

    She added:

    “I hope that they have felt that this season is just kind of a thank you to them, and how can I show that the best way is just performing at my best and really showcasing just all the assets that they’ve provided for me.

    “So there’s no way to like be able to pay back, you know, all those things, but I hope that words and actions can do something and make them feel loved as much as they’ve loved me through the process so.”
