What You Didn't Know About Tyler The Creator And Tracee Ellis Ross' Relationship

Think the two make an unusual pairing? Well so does Ross. "Externally, I don't know that people would think we have so much in common," she told Interview Magazine. But in this informal interview, which is really more like a casual conversation, the two continue to gush about their friendship. They agree that their relationship is so strong because they're both so comfortable being themselves around each other, which the two agree is a sort of "freedom" and a "superpower."

Ross and Tyler can't remember exactly how they met. But Tyler does recall that he was hanging out with ASAP Rocky one night when he bumped into Ross, and they "ended up hanging out." That night, they bonded over music and experiences and a mutual love for cheese — and their friendship grew from there.

What's so pure about their friendship is how fond they are of one another. Ross loves Tyler's music — she hates mosh pits and concerts but loves watching Tyler perform live. She even appeared in one of his music videos for his song "EARFQUAKE" (via YouTube). As for Tyler? He's obsessed with Ross' sense of fashion — so much, in fact, that at tonight's People's Choice Awards, Ross received the Fashion Icon Award that was presented by Tyler. "You dress so f****** well," he gushed. "You know proportions and silhouettes... I was like, 'Oh my god, she's not only funny, but she's also on her s*** and she knows how to wear pants.'"
