Singer Skylar Grey had one of the biggest moments of her career during the Super Bowl when Budweiser aired an ad featuring her song, “Coming Home, Part 2,” a stand-alone version of her part of Diddy’s 2010 hit, “Coming Home.” But Grey didn’t even watch it unfold.
“Actually, I was in Hawaii on vacation during the Super Bowl, and I didn’t even see my commercial play because I was getting a massage,” she told The Post Thursday at the American Express Skybox after the Marissa Webb show at Lincoln Center. “But when I got out of my massage, I had all these text messages and e-mails from people congratulating me, telling me it was amazing.”
Her friends weren’t the only ones who took note — the song shot into the iTunes top 40 overnight. But Grey’s already moving on to the next thing. She’s working on her next album, as well as a clothing line she’ll call “Woodrat.” She also just recently recorded a song with David Guetta, “Shot Me Down.”
“When I first met David Guetta, the first thing he said to me was, ‘Oh, you’re not fat and ugly. So we can keep you on the song.’ I was like, ‘What does that mean?’ ” she says with a laugh. “I don’t know what he thought, but he obviously didn’t know what I looked like until we met!”
