“Yesterday is the first time I’ve seen her perform in a few years because every time that I wanted to go to one of her big shows, our just schedules kind of miss each other,” King said at theDespicable Me 4premiere, referring to seeingCarpenter perform at the Governors Ballmusic festival a couple of days before.

“I literally was sobbing after the show. I was so proud of her. She’s just amazing,” King added of her friend’s big moment.

Carpenter’s music isn’t the only thing King can’t get enough of. She confessed that the video for “Please Please Please,” starringCarpenter’s boyfriend, Barry Keoghan, is also “addicting.”

“It’s so rude of her to make a hit like that. It’s also so rude to make such an addicting music video,” King jokingly quipped. ”It’s really rude to make me watch it six times at 2:00 a.m. when I want to go to bed.”
