[printer prints] [upbeat electronic music]

Hi, my name's Grace VanderWaal.

And 903 of you took a survey about me.

This is the official Grace VanderWaal fan survey.

[box slides] [box thunks]

[paper unfolds]

[gasps]

[clears throat]

[paper unfolds]

[tally tallies] [bell dings]

[laughing] I think this is by far

like the most narcissistic thing I've ever done in my life.

[paper unfolds]

[Man] How old do you think was the oldest person

that took this survey?

Is this gonna be in the video?

[Man] It's gonna be in the video.

84.

[Man] How old do you think was the youngest person

that took this survey?

Seven.

[Man] And what does you think is the average age

of all the people that took the survey?

13 or 14.

[Man] And what do you think the most common age is?

13, 14 maybe.

[funky music] All right.

Here are the results.

Wait, is this the real thing?

Yes. Wait.

No, you're lying to me. No.

This is, wait.

This is a setup. Nope, not a setup.

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

The oldest person was 84.

[Man] And, is that a surprise to you?

Um, I mean, no.

That's what I thought.

[Man] How old was the youngest person?

Seven, the youngest person was seven.

[printer prints]

Inside Grace's mind.

Who is Grace's doppelganger?

I've been told I look animated.

But I've never been told I look specifically like someone.

[funky music] Is there anyone that you

sort of build your style after, or?

Yeah, I kind of build my style around just random

Instagram models on Pinterest

mixed with maybe Audrey Hepburn.

[Man] Who do you think the fans are gonna say?

I do not know.

Like I don't have an answer for that question.

Oh, oh.

Oh my god, well, obviously Taylor Swift.

Wait, I'm such an idiot.

I don't think I do, but I've been compared many times

physically looking like Taylor Swift.

I don't see it personally.

I just think we have bangs, and we're blonde.

Okay, I definitely don't think this is true.

I think this is probably fans that just know

I admire Audrey Hepburn.

Because I don't look like her, but.

42 people said that.

I used to do her eyebrows and overline my lips like her.

I'd always watch makeup tutorials,

and I tried the short bang for a second.

It just doesn't work though.

I look like a little Polish boy who just got like

his first bowel cut.

I don't look like Audrey Hepburn [laughs].

Next up is Ariana Grande.

That's a first.

Well, that's why.

Only nine people [laughs] said that.

Makes sense.

Next up, I've actually gotten this before many times,

is Gigi Hadid.

12 people said that.

Shirley Temple [laughs].

I love this so much.

I love every part of this.

One person chose this, and I can't help but think

it was the 84 year old [laughs].

[folder flops]

Sweet.

[paper unfolds]

What is the number one place

Grace would like to visit in the world?

I've always wanted to visit France.

[Man] What do you think the fans are gonna say?

Hawaii, I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't think I've ever really talked about this

like in public.

[Man] So you think Hawaii?

Yeah, maybe.

[Man] Any reason why?

The ukulele maybe [laughs]. [ukulele plays]

[Man] Sure.

Oh my god, you're gonna test my flags [sighs].

[Man] Well, the good news is the answers are on the back.

Oh, sweet. [people laugh]

Thank you.

Alright, we have France.

And 271 people said that.

[Man] So, does it seem like you and the fans are aligned?

Yeah, maybe.

I've literally never even said that before.

So maybe we're just like spiritually connected.

I understand this, this was gonna be my second guess.

Brazil, but only 54 people said that.

61 people said Japan/Tokyo.

And [laughs]

one person said Mother Russia.

[folder flops]

[printer prints] Hopes, dreams, and fears.

Let's get deep.

Which superhero do you think Grace would want to be?

So I actually don't really know superheroes.

I never really like grew up with superheroes or whatever.

So I like don't have an answer.

I know Superman, Batman, and Spiderman,

but they're all men.

Is there like an ice person?

[Man] There's Storm from X-Men.

She controls the weather.

[snaps] So dope, I'd be Storm.

[Man] What do you think the fans are gonna say?

Supergirl, Superwoman, for sure.

[smooth electronic music]

Oh

duh.

I'm such an idiot.

Wonder Woman.

249 people said Wonder Woman.

This cool looking girl, Captain Marvel.

180 people said that.

Harley Quinn, whatever that is, I don't even.

96 people said that.

96 people, what are you doing?

We have Black Widow.

Oo, that sounds cool.

Still not sure what she does, but I think she's really cool.

87 people said that.

Jessica Jones, 57 people.

I don't know.

Oh my god, but I love this actress though.

That's one of my favorites.

We have Storm!

My girl.

51 people said that.

And Princess Peach.

I love that!

One person said that, you go.

[folder flops]

What do you think is Grace's irrational fear?

I'm afraid of everything.

And I have many realistic fears,

but I also have many irrational fears.

I'd say my biggest one is tsunamis for some reason.

[Man] What do you think the fans are gonna say?

Wolves, maybe.

I don't know [laughs].

[Man] Wolves?

Yeah, it's just like the first thing that came to my mind

when you said that.

Oh.

Okay, wait.

But I kinda lied, this is true.

I am extremely afraid of bugs.

So whoever said this, you're right.

But I'm also very afraid of tsunamis.

But I face this fear more on a daily basis.

231 people said bugs,

and [gags] I can't even look at it.

Oh my god!

51 people said tsunamis.

[Man] Have you ever talked about it before?

I might've like said it once probably on a live stream

when I was 11 years old or something.

We have butterflies, 45 people said that.

[Man] Are you afraid of butterflies?

I'm not afraid of butterflies.

I love butterflies, but I do understand why they say that

'cause there're many videos of me smacking away butterflies.

Butterflies are beautiful, right, like that's animal abuse

if you kill a butterfly.

But have you ever looked at a butterfly's face?

Have you? Looks like a bug.

A butterfly will land me, and I'm like,

oh my god, that's magical, but then I'll look at it,

and it's like.

And I'm like, I can't even control it.

It's involuntary, like my body will just like [smacks],

you know, self defense.

Anyways [laughs].

We have dogs, 27.

I am really afraid of big dogs actually.

Ducks and geese, 42.

I'm super afraid of ducks and geese, so that's true.

Aliens destroying the planet as we know it,

causing the world to be floating dust particles

and human life becoming nothing...

or like birds or something. [laughs]

One person said that, but actually I'm afraid

of birds and aliens, so I guess they're right.

Does that mean we're gonna take a break?

[Together] No. [laughs together]

Who would Grace want to sing a duet with?

Well, do you remember that guy?

God, what was his name?

He made the call 911, now, brah, da-da-da-da-da-da.

[Man] Skrillex?

Skrillex [snaps], thank you.

I feel like it would be really cool to become like

a little girl voice on a Skrillex song

and be like a really cook hook or something.

I would love that.

[Man] Sounds great.

What do you think the fans are gonna say?

[laughs together]

Do you think they're gonna say Skrillex?

Not that, I don't think they're gonna say that.

I think they're gonna say Ariana Grande

'cause I like her a lot.

Lastly, Billy Ray Cyrus, one person said that.

Actually, I'd just love to do that.

This all was leading to this one big question.

All that was just a warmup.

[printer prints]

What does Grace mean to you?

[Man] Before we dive in, let's flip it on the head.

What do the fans mean to you?

My fans are like this beautiful backbone that I have

where I can do whatever I want even if people judge it

or criticize it, people be there kinda supporting me.

Wait, do I have to read it out loud?

[Man] You definitely have to read it aloud.

Ew, oh my god!

I feel like this is like when people are singing you

happy birthday on your birthday,

and you like don't know what to do.

She's just the most wonderful

and sweet person I've ever known.

She's so kind-hearted and honest and nice

that I would love to know her

or someone with the same heart as her.

When I listen to her music,

it immediately makes me feel joy and happiness.

Oh, that's really nice.

[Man] Why are you covering your face?

[laughs] Stop attacking me, please.

Just let me read this.

I'm hoping that she will get a lot further in life,

and I wish her all the best.

We love you.

That was really nice.

[folder flops]

[Man] That's the end of the survey.

Thank god [wheezes].

[laughs]

[Man] Did anything surprise you?

Many things surprised me.

I was surprised by my own psychic abilities

in the beginning.

I was also surprised, in all seriousness,

how many people got things right.

How well people know me.

It's like kinda scary but like cool at the same time.

[Man] And how was the overall experience for you?

It was painful

but really joyful

and fulfilling,

and I truly feel like I'm reborn.

I feel like a new person [giggles].

Thank you, again.

My name's Grace VanderWaal.

I wanna thank all the 930 people who took the survey.

That's so cool, keep doing you.

Thank you for supporting me.

[kisses] Love you.
