Rosé is heading into the 68th Grammy Awards with three nominations for her inescapable collab with Bruno Mars, “Apt.” The song is nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year — making her the first K-pop artist to garner a nod for one of the Big Four categories as a solo act.
As the big day approaches, Rosé sat down with Alex Cooper of Call Her Daddy for a special episode titled “Alex Cooper Presents: A Grammy’s Special,” which arrives tomorrow. They discuss her remarkable career while visiting a cafe in Seoul, enjoying a traditional Pocha lunch, a karaoke stall, a lounge in Tokyo, and Rosé’s recording studio-turned-podcast set.
In an exclusive Rolling Stone clip from the upcoming CHD episode with the Blackpink star, Cooper asks the question that’s on every fan’s mind: “Do you think you would ever tour solo?”
After acknowledging that both she and her fans are itching for her to be on tour, Rosé says that she wants to be able to present crowds with a “solid world” first but didn’t want to “feel rushed.” The singer explains that her first solo album, Rosie, was a “learning curve” and she needed time to “really learn about” the LP.
“I feel like to create a whole world onstage, I need more time to build on that with extra songs as well, because right now we have, what 12?” she continues. “And I don’t feel ready to create a whole body of work for everyone yet.”
Still, Rosé hints that “it’s slowly gonna kind of come closer once I feel like my second album or more music comes out.” Addressing fans, she adds, “I just want everyone to be patient because I feel like once I do start, I feel like I’d love it so much that I would want to do it for so long. So I don’t want to ruin that experience.”
This year’s Grammy Awards will be hosted by Trevor Noah and held on Sunday, Feb. 1, broadcasting live on CBS and Paramount+ from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Rolling Stone has predicted that Rosé and Bruno Mars’ “APT.,” a track based on a Korean drinking game, will take home Record of the Year, calling it a “collaboration that was impossible to forget.”
