But when E!’s [Giuliana Rancic](http://time.com/3772300/giuliana-rancic-zendaya-edited/) got to chatting with him on the red carpet, the Philly rapper didn’t have a ton to say, shrugging off most of her questions. Finally, he shared some very relatable plans for after the hubbub of the Grammys dies down. “What’s next for you?” Rancic asked him. “Waking up. Eating some pop tarts,” Uzi responded, totally blasé. Unsurprisingly, Lil Uzi Vert has won the internet’s heart with this man-of-the-people response to this awkward red carpet questioning. > [](https://twitter.com/dodaistewart/status/957755023508824064) > [](https://twitter.com/MyThrpstSays/status/957756611434442752) > [](https://twitter.com/BoTilly/status/957756272203452416) > [](https://twitter.com/sluggahjells/status/957755775694368768) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5122272/lil-uzi-vert-grammys-red-carpet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5122272/lil-uzi-vert-grammys-red-carpet/"},"headline":"Lil Uzi Vert's Post-Grammy Plans Are Extremely Relatable","datePublished":"2018-01-28T23:53:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:50:08.353Z","description":"The Grammy-nominated rapper became an internet favorite as soon as he responded to a red carpet question.","url":"https://time.com/5122272/lil-uzi-vert-grammys-red-carpet/","keywords":["Newsfeed","awards","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/5122272/lil-uzi-vert-grammys-red-carpet/","name":"Lil Uzi Vert's Post-Grammy Plans Are Extremely Relatable"}}]}] ```
