Well she makes kind of clear that Anne Hathaway was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with 'Interstellar' (not 'Song One') and she was really heartbroken about it.

Though it seemed a little odd why she would even bring up Anne Hathaway's name when everything was already settled and it's the screening of the completed movie with a good cast.
