“I’ve always been a huge fan of Nerds in general since I was a little girl. I remember going to the candy shop, and I would just love to get the little boxes, and they were just so cute,” recalls Rae.
The “I Got It Bad” singer’s love for the candy brand has only grown as she’s become acquainted with Nerds Gummy Clusters.
“I’m a big fan of combining textures in something I eat, and this has the crunchy and the gummy, and I’m obsessed. I literally ate bags on set,” she says. “Everyone was like, ‘You should probably slow down because you’re going to have to eat a lot of these.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m just making sure I’m prepared.'”
Viewers should stay tuned, as the mystery dancer’s identity will be revealed when Nerds’ Super Bowl commercial premieres in the coming weeks. The full spot will air during the big game on Feb. 11.
