January 28, 2021, Grace talked about her experience on the show. A fan online asked her what her favorite show to be on was, and Grace answered:
“My best experience has always been Jimmy Fallon, hands down. I will never, ever forget my experience with Jimmy Fallon. He came back [stage to great Grace] and he carried an incredible amount of energy like lit up the room, and there were no cameras. It felt authentic. It was like the green room was just vibrating and I will never forget that. I am a small artist, I am a very small artist, and he like hung out with me, he was so dope and I will never forget”.
