She explained how the famous talk show hostdoesn't understand how much work it is to wear a dress. "First of all it's very hardwork," she said. "I don't know if you're aware of thecontraptions under here. It's almost medical, and I'm terrible in heels." Sheadmitted the only reason she dresses up was out of respect for the legend. “What am I gonna do, put on a dress for Jimmy [Fallon]? That’s creepy," Tinajoked. "He’s like my brother. I'm gonna wear special underwear for James Corden? That's not gonna happen. So the next time you see me, I will be playing charades in a slanket."
