On the red carpet for Sunday night’s [60th Annual Grammy Awards](http://time.com/5122250/grammys-2018-winners-list/), Cardi wowed in a sparkling, structural dress—and she took a moment to share some pearls of wisdom with _E!_‘s Giuliana Rancic. “I’m feeling butterflies in my stomach” and another, more private region, Cardi said. She also reflected on dealing with her rising fame: “I’m tryin’ to get away from gossip sites,” she said, saying she’s been avoiding responding to “bad comments.” Finally, when it comes to career advice, Cardi had some strong insights to offer: “Do what you have to do—do it your way,” she said. That’s certainly been a successful strategy for the Bronx-born rapper, former dancer and VH1 reality show star. She’s now one of music’s biggest breakout stories of the last year, with six songs currently charting on the [_Billboard_ Hot 100](https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100). She was also nominated for two Grammys for chart-topper “Bodak Yellow,” and will perform with Bruno Mars. > [](https://twitter.com/Power106LA/status/957759261458669568) > [](https://twitter.com/MTV/status/957761135066873859) > [](https://twitter.com/musicnewsfact/status/957757810099470336) ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5122297/cardi-b-grammy-red-carpet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5122297/cardi-b-grammy-red-carpet/"},"headline":"Of Course Cardi B Had the Best Advice on the Grammy Red Carpet","datePublished":"2018-01-29T00:24:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:22.130Z","description":"The \"Bodak Yellow\" singer made a splash — and shared some advice — when she appeared on the 60th Annual Grammys red carpet.","url":"https://time.com/5122297/cardi-b-grammy-red-carpet/","keywords":["Newsfeed","awards","Cardi B","grammys2018"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5122297/cardi-b-grammy-red-carpet/","name":"Of Course Cardi B Had the Best Advice on the Grammy Red Carpet"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"How Cardi B Escaped Poverty to Become the First Female Rapper in 19 Years to Top the Charts","description":"MONEY VIDEO","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/nGy8x5Nc/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-11-01T23:10:51.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/nGy8x5Nc.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5122297/cardi-b-grammy-red-carpet/","duration":"PT1M37S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5122297/cardi-b-grammy-red-carpet/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
