“I still can’t believe I am standing here holding this. I think I am too young, don’t you,” she teased.
“If I have learned anything it is, ‘Good things come out of bad things,'” Arden said of her childhood, telling a story about how “listening to music became everything.”
Arden then sang a beautiful rendition of “Good Mother”.
