I was asleep while it was on but is lovely to wake up to AOTY for Beyoncé!

My favorite part is when they interviewed Courtney Laplante from Spiritbox, confused her with Poppy, and she just rolled with it including giving shoutouts to her(real)self.

The cowards have taken down the video, but she gave a 3 minute interview as Poppy with a completely straight face.

If you've followed Poppy's career, this feels like the moment everything was building up to all these years.

Courtney even said "I am Poppy."

Chappell Roan wins Best New Artist award after an incredible performance of "Pink Pony Club." and her acceptance speech calls out the entire system and demands labels to provide a livable wage and health insurance.

"I told myself if I ever won a Grammy and I got to stand up here in front of the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels and the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists would offer a livable wage, and healthcare especially, to developing artists," she said. "It was so devastating to feel so committed to my art and feel so betrayed by the system and so dehumanized to not have help... Labels, we got you, but do you got us?" she asked.

If somebody asked, I would say my favorite moment was Beyoncé talking about genre labels and thanking Linda Martell.

My real favorite moment, though, was an arena full of celebrities shouting 'A minor!'
