Guthrie said she would write and sing songs while playing guitar at coffee shops. But Kotb wanted to reveal that there is good reason to think Guthrie could - and will - do just this. "Can I up you?" she cut in. "Savannah once sent me the most beautiful song and said 'Please don't share it with anyone,' but I didn't know what she meant by 'anyone,' and I asked some people 'Who do you think this is?' and it was you . And one day she will be writing songs and she will be singing." While smiling, Guthrie confirmed, "I was so mad," after Kotb shared the song she made her.

You got mad at me," Kotb recalled of the incident. Guthrie recalled, "Yes because I said 'I sent this to you for your eyes only and then she like added ten." Specifically, Kotb shared, "the New York Times were doing a profile on you and I sent it to them." Kotb is intent on making sure everyone knows the talent behind her partner, whose world was thrown off its axis following the staff shakeup after Matt Lauer was fired. Guthrie says Kotb supported her then too, adding, "All I know was in that moment, it felt like I could drown if Hoda hadn't reached down and grabbed my hand."
