Nicole Scherzinger Opens Up About Working With Liam Payne on ‘Building the Band’: ‘This Was His Happy Place’


Nicole Scherzinger talks working Liam Payne on Netflix's 'Building the Band.'

“I love doing things that break all the rules,” says Nicole Scherzinger with a smile during a sit-down interview with Billboard at Netflix’s New York City office. With Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean playing host, Kelly Rowland and Liam Payne (filming completed prior to his tragic death last October) joined Scherzinger as guest judges, providing direction and feedback to six bands vying for the win. Looking back on 20 years since the band’s debut album, PCD, Scherzinger offers some advice she might give to a younger version of herself: “Be your authentic self and lead with your heart – and be sure you carry your balls with you.”
