She 's so sassy . I love her . We had so much fun shooting that video . It took us 3 days if you could believe . It was so good because I got to really have girl time with her . I enjoyed it . We were having such a good time together . " On 4 February 2015 , Azalea and Hudson performed the song for the first time by teaming up with The Roots on '' The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon '' . The performance received a positive reception , with an editor from '' The Boombox '' writing , " Despite it being their first live TV performance together , the onstage chemistry between the two was evident from start to finish with both vibing off of each other ’s movements and energy with ease . Backed by the show 's in-house band , the Roots , Azalea and J-Hud owned the stage and looked stylish as ever while doing so . " They performed it again at Clive Davis and The Recording Academy 's annual pre-Grammy Gala at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills , on 7 February 2015 .
