- In his first year of being nominated, singer Shawn Mendes' song "In My Blood" is up for Song of the Year in the 61st Annual Grammy Awards. It's also the first Grammy nomination for one of his co-writers, former teen-pop-star-turned-producer Teddy Geiger. Geiger has worked with a number of big names, but Mendes remains one of her closest collaborators. Vladimir Duthiers spoke to Geiger about her journey ahead of the Grammy Awards.

she really mustered every ounce of confidence she had
She’s literally my teacher’s sister I swear to god. My art teacher is Ms.Geiger (Rachel Geiger)
When she said her sister was famous, I didn’t believe it until I searched it up.
He
Teddy is a man
she’s so wise and skilled and beautiful!!! Emily is a lucky lady
HE
muna osman there is no room here for ignorance! love-only zone 💞💞☺️
He is talented, just lost real sad to celebrate mental illness and normalizing it .
It’s crazy they are calling him a her changing he as she
Elsie Campbell That’s not ignorance he is a He regardless how he identifies.
Stoped cigarettes & OCD gone after coming out?, how many wished the same for themselves from speaking their truth, congrats on achieving twice more than most can ever do in a lifetime!.
duvine I came out and my OCD still here 😭😭😭😭
OCD doesn’t just go away.
Zechariah Cameron if you see replying to me I want to clarify I was being sadistic bc exactly...ocd doesn’t go away.
It’s not that it’s “gone” per se, but when you’re in a highly stressful environment, your symptoms can be aggressively worse. (In her case, it was living with her assigned birth gender). They can drastically improve when the stress decreases, which for her, would be coming out
She didn’t say her OCD went away, she said her tendencies, which likely means her worst symptoms. She probably has some behavioral compulsions that still exist, but they’re probably nowhere near as ugly as what she used to deal with
"their truth" very dangerous
WHATTTTTT?!!! I used have a crush on Teddy Geiger lol holy smoke!!
Loool
Saaaaaaammee I was shooketh when I found out 😂 Glad they're happy though!!
so proud and happy for her ❤️❤️❤️ still listen to her old songs till today, gna listen to her new album now
Angel Marie Magdoza it is a guy
Orgullosa xq?
I never understood when people get angry or have hatred on trans people. I just dont get it. They are living an honest life, can those people say that? Probably not! She is happy and not dependent on substances anymore. Good for her.❤️💋
I agree. Regardless of whether I understand it or not, they aren't hurting me or anyone else by doing this. If this is what makes them happy, who am I to stop them?
Living an honest life would be living life as a male, the way he’s supposed to be... the way he was born 🙄
@@Duckyblonde Why do you care so much?? Is it negatively affecting you or anyone around you? Is it affecting quality of life?
Nikki Fresquez Why couldn’t god have intended for Teddy to be transgender? We are our spirits, not our bodies. God sees our spirit.
Ashton Colby wrong. Adam and Eve....not Adam and Steve. #confused
I'm not gay or trans or anything, and I often don't say anything, but I really find it refreshing the title has nothing to do with her being trans, as like a bait click. So thanks CBS.
Adriana Marie her. Her being transgender.
Audrey Moore lol chillllllll
HER
Ugh 'Her' SO SORRY.
That's not clickbait idiot
Ugh my childhood crush!!! I can’t believe she wrote so many of shawns hits! I freaking love those songs!!! I wish teddy made and sang more songs for herself!!!
I always loved Teddy's music but wondered what happened, bc I never heard more music. Then i found out about her transition and was so happy for her.
Such a talent that was being hidden when it deserves to in the light. I have no clue what it feels like to go through her journey, but that it finally led to honest happiness for her is so wonderful.
A career well deserving of all the honor possible. Truly love her work.
"HIM" 😂
I had no idea who this was until it clicked in my head, she is beautiful (always has been) and in transition to become her true self. That is courageous. Amazing story CBS!
I think this is one of the most horrible comments sections I have ever had the misfortune to find myself in. This is one amazing, strong and powerful woman who has just been nominated for a Grammy for her incredible talent as a songwriter. Whoever struggles to see beyond her being able to be herself and having the courage to come out is what is wrong the world. Everybody should be allowed to be who they are with no hate or judgement. You go Teddy, you're doing brilliant work
I'm glad to see all of the positive, uplifting, loving comments have flooded out the negative ones here.
JK K we were taught that men and women are different aka not the same. So, people can disagree that opinions about Geiger being a woman. Like being feminine doesn’t necessarily make one a woman, you see what I’m saying?
The top 20 comments are positive.
Thank you Molly for such an uplifting reply. I am not sure whether there is any point in arguing with those that seek to tear everybody down. This woman is living her life as she chooses to live it. She is doing nobody else any harm and has brought light, music and happiness to millions of us. Who are we to decide whether she is allowed to be herself. Only she can decide that.
@Ann Fitzgerald she doesn't 'want to be a woman'. if that's what she identifies with and if she truly feels that's who she is, that's absolutely fine. and you're just a salty person calling people 'freaks' for being who they are. get a grip
It’s so strange that this wasn’t talked about more. Teddy was my heartthrob in middle school. It’s been eye opening to realize I fell for a glimpse of a fake person. Just the way she carries herself now seems so much more confident and pure. ❤️
Sam bruh you just contradicted yourself so badly
Sara Scott how? By saying that I fell for what the industry made her out to be? Or that she seems confident in who she is now?
Sam You say that he used to be fake when in fact, now he is fake
Sara Scott now you just sound transphobic. 🙄
Sara Scott can you stop commenting toward me? Thx
I was always affected by Teddy as a musician. I think she is even more attractive a person now, then she was back in the early 2000's, because now you see such joy in everything she does. I was crushing on her in 2006 and am still crushing on her now. What a beautiful person 😍
*he
@@darthjarjarthewise8051 Biden is your president.
“He WaS iN tHe RoCkEr WiTh EmMa StOnE.” Can y’all stop saying that.... we already know.
Omg! I remember loving her when she was making her older music and never hearing about her again after that. Knowing this whole story now is so powerful and inspiring. Damn. You go girl!
Congrats Teddy, you're amazing ❤️
Good for her, live your life, it is yours!
HE
Him not her
@@munaosman7563 @Zac Fritz
you're both weak and embarrassing.
I remember her song from the 2000s. She was also in The Rocker with Emma Stone.
I’m so happy for her.
I'm so happy that Teddy is back in the light, I've missed her and her music. "These Walls" is one of my favorite songs from when I was growing up. I'm SO happy that she still does music and has been supported and loved through her transition, as EVERYONE does!
Wow used to have such a crush on Teddy Geiger. Shocking but live your truth babes ❤️
She is a beautiful soul!!! And that is all that matters in the end of the day!!! :)
He is a beautiful yet torture soul who i hope finds healing . He isn't even just sick and needs help. You are actually hurting him by acknowledge him as something he isn't believe it or not. Without getting the right help he will be another sad statistic from this movement of the lost.
Jessica Argentina hurting her is what you are doing
She had an old (pre-transition) song called You Stole My Heart that was my absolute jam as a child, imagine my surprise when i see her being out and thriving, she's radiating.
She doesn't need your objectification or approval. Also you imply that some transwomen don't look "great" as a woman. It is not all about looking like society's approved version of a women.
samnyc2 hahahahaha
So happy for her. And so happy she’s still able to make music and that her secret didn’t break her 🤍
I love all the comments filled with as much "she" and "her" as possible
@Joseph Perez What do you mean "was"? She still is a great singer
I've always loved her songwriting. Well deserved nomination & happy for her!
Congratulations to her. "For you I will" was one of my favorite song to listen to growing up. Still is. Glad that she has found happiness and success doing what she loves and can finally be herself. ❤️
Why is everyone so rude? Leave her alone!! She is so talented and nice and doesn't deserve these ugly transphobic comments🙄
There’s nothing phobic about speaking the truth. Real women are tired of males invading their protected, personal spaces and playing pretend for attention. It’s delusional, dangerous behavior. A guy can’t become a girl and a girl can’t become a guy. Period.
I'm so happy for her. I remember the song "For You I Will" from 2006. I am also a trans woman. I transitioned in 2018.
She's so beautiful! I'm glad she getting the platform and the recognition she deserves 😍
For You I Will was my jam back in the day. Had no idea she was also behind so many of my more recent favourites and had no idea she was trans until today. So glad she's doing well. If she's happy, I'm happy.
Wow. She is so inspirational and real and raw ❤️ This is such a great interview!! I feel like I know her through this interview which is hard to do!
In my blood is one emotional song. When I heard it the first time it blew my mind.
I’m not gonna deny, it was a little bit shocking knowing her transition. But I’m happy she’s okay 🫶🏻
I love her either way she was always my fave singer
It’s just this one second when “in my blood” reminds me of teddy’s song “for you I will” and it leaded me to google to find her story. So pround of you teddy!;)
0:31 sunglasses inside the studio!!😂😂😂😂😂that's why u are the great Shawn Mendes
She was born to write a songs:")
Unless it's with you is that song from liberation! CONGRATS
I still like the Rocker and I have great respect for her
Love you teddy. You're an inspiration 😍
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat my mind is blown. I absolutely loooooved teddy geiger back in the day.
This was a brilliant piece! I hope she gets a GRAMMY, she deserves it!
CassieJazz96 why does he deserve it? Is it because he’s talented or because people want to make “history” he doesn’t sound that great IMO ... it’s just for the news story and the agenda
Lisa Marie I think she deserves the GRAMMY because it’s a well written, great song, and she is not the only person that was a part of writing the song. Even if she doesn’t win, being nominated is a wonderful accomplishment for ANY song writer.
HE 😂
Rip to my childhood crush ❤️
Girl, I love you. I’m so glad you’re happy and free. 💕 looking forward to your new work!
I didn't see that coming.
omg I used to love Teddy Geiger I always wondered wat happened to him. now SHE is now here wow didn't see that coming. I didn't know Teddy wrote In My Blood wow
still one of my favourite pop record producer and songwriter. ♥️
More power but how’d she land on the Velma from Scooby-Do look?!!
Omg she transitioned! I loved her stuff waaay back in like 2006 lol So happy for her, she sounds as great as ever!!!
Had a crush on Teddy Geiger in middle school... and I still have a crush on her as an adult! lol
so much love for her!!!
HIM
@@munaosman7563 she's a girl but ok
Had a crush on Teddy then, have more of a crush on Teddy now! Her taste is exquisite
Dude I’m not into in my blood but she’s awesome like literally my new icon
Just goes to show you never know what a person is going through, or what a person is thinking or feeling. I just started watching Schitt's Creek and through an internet blackhole (clicking on the actor that plays Stevie), stumbled upon Teddy Geiger (which I was not expecting). Like, "hmm I recognize that name. I'm pretty sure he was like on MTV when I was 12, 13"..."wait whoa Teddy Geiger came out as transgender?" Was not expecting that. Watching this video was extremely eye-opening and moving and gave me the background amd insight to make sense of it. It's just pretty bewildering to watch the music video of "For You I Will (Confidence)" which stars Kristen Cavallari lmfbo. Like wow. Never could have guessed. But I'm happy she is living authentically. She has an incredible story.
She looks so BEAUTIFUL.
That's a lie
He.
i knowwwwww she’s gorgeous! got a lowkey crush on both her and her fiancée, it’s great
I love herrrrr ❤❤❤
I was just watching the Rocker and wondering what happend to them definitely talented wish they were bigger
Oh my gosh! I had no idea about Teddy! I was following her for awhile and just realized she was on the Rocker and I had a crush 💕
We were in shock to.
Why do people care so much about what other people do with their lives. Good for her. Live your life. So much talent had no idea she was writing music.
Because men are invading women’s protected spaces and trying to claim they ARE something they’re not. People don’t care about them playing dress up, but this dude will never be a woman.
Wow. I'm just so happy for her to be in this stage of her life. You always wonder where your teen favs are currently. And since seeing her name on the credits of songs, I thought "Oh. Teddy writes more for other artists now." Then seeing this interview makes it even cooler that she's back as a person more comfortable wirh herself.
Wanting to paint your nails doesnt make you a woman
Freedom can be expensive
This is so amazing!
ARE YOU DUMB
Is it?
I fell in love with teddy in the rocker
Ugh she’s gorgeous.
I seriously needed this song to pick me back up at one of my lowest points in my life!
Im sorry but i just wanna take a momment to give her a hand on her since of fashion. Its amazing
Love this! 🥰
I love you teddy 💕💕💕
i just seen this today. for you i will song inspired me to trust myself and gain confidence. im just sad hes gone. but happy for she found herself
Ohhhhhhh I didn’t know this! Congratulations on a sustainable success and for being honest!
I’m happy for her. So talented with For You I Will & I cant wait to see what she’s going to do!~! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
LOVE IT! Be happy with yourself & keep going!!
i love her❤️
Teddy so pretty🥰💓💕
He was always hot
EUGGGHHH
Wasnt expecting that
So happy for her ❤
I thought this was a woman the whole time but damn never knew she was the guy from my dreams as a teen
Oh wow 😳
You do you girl. 💁🏽♀️
Just got back into the music. Rocker was a forgoten treasure.
Wow, I literally just watched confidence and it's gone now. Gee thanks.
Love her! 😀☺😍
love you teddy! 💞💗💘💖
What song is at 0:33?
Her and Laura Jane Grace have given me courage.
Cant believe this
Everyone talking about how this comment section is toxic and full of hate
Comment section: only full of love and support and acceptance
I am confused but happy. You go girl 😍
Whaaat?! Why am I just finding out this? 😯 But you go girl, just be you❤️
So here’s my problem...a lot of us have heard Teddy speak in the past...all of a sudden he wants to be a she and the accent changes and we’re all just supposed to praise this decision and pretend this is how life works.
And by the way, this trending social movement is landing Grammy attention. Hmmmmmm
Vocal fry
First time hearing stitches, i swear, i feel teddy geiger vibe!! Feels like i can imagine that she's actually sing it! #sorryformybadenglish
Why is the music delete off everywhere but youtube tho
Beautiful story
Love her
teddy geiger way to good on that combo
0:32 can someone tell me what song that is?
Where Were You In the Morning? from Shawn Mendes latest album.
where were you in the morning by Shawn Mendes
that's my favourite song of Shawn Mendes
I will 100% always love and support Teddy, but can we put the Underage Thinking album on streaming services?
