Ahead of the show, Rexha spoke to Ryan Seacrest, saying that some designers who have never dressed her before, including Jeremy Scott, Christian Siriano, and Karl Lagerfeld, have since expressed interest in working with her.
Rexha also said that some of the designers who originally turned her down changed their mind after she released her video.
"I mean, I'm okay. I don't get angry at people," Rexha told Seacrest. "I just want to wear people and work with people who love me for me."
