Anya Taylor-Joy was on The Today Show chatting about her role as Princess Peach in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie when things got really strange, really fast.

During the segment, the interviewer, Craig Melvin. brought up a long-standing rumor that Anya might play Joni Mitchell in an upcoming biopic. Joni is obviously one of music's most iconic, influential figures, etc.

He then attempts to bridge the gap between Joni and Princess Peach, asking: "What's the connection between Joni and Princess Peach?"

Anya literally doesn't miss a beat, saying, "They're both singular, you can't touch 'em, they're in a league of their own."
