HRISSY TEIGEN IS ALREADY MY new best friend!” Ludacris is speaking into his iPhone, narrating a behind-the-scenes clip of Billboard’s cover shoot for his 3.8 million Instagram followers. He has just captured Teigen — his 2015 Billboard Music Awards co-host, the hilariously blunt supermodel and wife of John Legend — as a stylist adjusts the hemline of her black C dress. The two have met only a few times before this afternoon in New York, but the rapport between Luda, 37, and Teigen, 29, is easy, playful — even rambunctious. (He didn’t hesitate to pick her up like a bride going over a threshold or give her a piggyback ride while she quaffed Champagne.) “I would love for us to have an Amy and Tina-type banter at the BBMAs,” says Teigen, referring

Who’s your favorite awards show host? Ellen [DeGeneres] always does an amazing job. I like the way that she catches people off guard — it’s an environment that can be really uptight, and she dis- arms people. Also, Jack Black is an amazing host.

What’s your best awards show celebrity encounter? Worst? The best one was probably with Angelina Jolie at the Kids’ Choice Awards. She was so nice and said I did a great job, which made me feel good. And her kid was very sweet. The worst? There have been times, especially in the early days of [the Jonas Brothers’] career, when people were in their own world. They maybe didn’t know who we were and were wondering why they were sitting by us, and said so out loud.

What’s the most cringe-worthy question you get asked on the red carpet? I always find it funny to be asked, like, “Why are you here?” There’s a better way to say that. Sometimes I’ll just be like, “You know what? I don’t know why I’m here. Maybe I should go home.”

Words of advice regarding awards show etiquette? Always have mints on you. You don’t want your breath to smell when you meet people that you

Strangest celebrity encounter? I’m the biggest Adam Sandler fan, and I saw him at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. I went up to him and slapped his shoulder, and said [in a gruff voice], “Wassup, dude. My name is Meghan Trainor, and I’m all about the bass.” Adam looked at me like, “What is this crazy person saying to me?” Then it clicked and he was like, to his wife, “Oh! Honey! This is the bass girl!”

Do you get nervous at awards shows? Always. I get nervous for every- thing. Ariana Grande told me to get essential oils — you rub them on your hands and smell them. I just take a lot of deep breaths.

What’s your aftershow ritual? My older brother always finds the afterparties. He makes friends ON THE CHARTS with celebrities, and he’s like, “Meghan, I’ve got the location,” “All About That Bass” spent eight and I’m like, “How do you have weeks at No. 1 on the place when I don’t?” Then we the Hot 100. go and get crazy drunk.
