Bishop Briggs tells BBMAs host Michelle Buteau about her song “River” going viral on TikTok at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

Michelle Buteau

I am so excited to be hanging out with my girl Bishop Briggs. What? I mean, you look good, honey. 

Bishop Briggs 

Thank you! I’m obsessed with you. You know this, but you are so talented, and this is so cool!  

Michelle Buteau

Takes one to know one! 

Bishop Briggs 

Thank you.

Michelle Buteau 

What I do love about talent and songs, let’s say you know they can find another shelf life, like your song “River” has become a huge TikTok trend. Did you ever think or like, foresee that happening?

Bishop Briggs  

I had no idea that was happening, and then I found out that it was happening, and I was like, I need to study this app. I became addicted and obsessed. And I’m in love. Yeah, it’s the best. I love it. It’s so surreal. It’s so cool. 

Michelle Buteau 

Are you dancing in the mirror? Like, what are you doing for fun?

Bishop Briggs 

No one’s asking me to dance. Like, I’ve never had someone be like, “Oh, please, dance more.” That’s not happening for me. 

Michelle Buteau

What? I will always ask you to dance more with the 5678, and the grapevine, sis.. 

Bishop Briggs 

I love people dancing, but like, now the competition is so steep. Like, if I dance without song.

Michelle Buteau 

Yeah, you have to lean into, like, doing it bad, so it looks funny. You know it’s a whole, 

Bishop Briggs 

OMG, so smart! 

Michelle Buteau

Thank you for coming by, you look good.

Bishop Briggs 

Thank you. I actually woke up like this, so thank you.
