Luckett explains that it was heartwarming to see how far each member of the iconic Y2K group has come, and how much they’ve grown up since they were girls singing together in Houston. “Everybody’s just going on to do amazing things,” she says. “To also see everybody as moms and wives, we’ve grown up. We’re adults out here, it’s full-blown adulting going on.”
The star also spoke about how special it was to not just be in the same room with the founding members of the Grammy-winning group, but also Williams, 44, who joined the lineup in 2000 after Luckett and Roberson, both 42, left.
