GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO THE 67TH ANNUAL

Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX

GRAMMY AWARDS.

WE ARE COMING TO LIVE FROM LOS ANGELES, BUT WHAT IS

UNUSUAL ARE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES THIS EVENING.

JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, WE WERE NOT SURE TONIGHT THAT

THIS SHOW WOULD EVEN HAPPEN.

I MEAN, YOU DON'T NEED ME TO TELL YOU THIS, BUT THIS CITY

HAS BEEN THROUGH ONE OF THE LARGEST NATURAL DISASTERS IN

AMERICAN HISTORY.

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR HOMES,

ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE BEEN ERASED, SCHOOLS, LOCAL

BUSINESSES, AND ENTIRE COMMUNITIES HAVE BURNED TO

THE GROUND.

THANKFULLY, DUE TO THEIR HEROIC EFFORTS OF

FIREFIGHTERS, THE FIRES HAVE BEEN CONTAINED.

DESPITE ALL THE DEVASTATION,

THE SPIRIT OF THE CITY HAS EMERGED.

NEIGHBORS WHO HAD NEVER SPOKEN BEFORE ARE HELPING

EACH OTHER.

COMMUNITY CENTERS ARE OVERFLOWING WITH DONATIONS.

FAMILIES ARE WELCOMING STRANGERS INTO THEIR HOMES

SO THEY TOO HAVE A PLACE TO SLEEP.

IT'S OFTEN SAID THAT IN THE DARKEST OF TIMES, THE BEST

OF HUMANITY SHINES THROUGH, AND THE PEOPLE OF LOS

ANGELES RIGHT NOW ARE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THAT.

TENANT, WE DECIDED WE ARE NOT JUST GOING TO BE

CELEBRATE YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC: WE ARE ALS SUPPORTING

THE CITY THAT BROUGHT US SO MUCH ABOUT MUSIC.

I MEAN, JUST LOOK AT SOME OF THE PERFORMANCE HERE

TONIGHT.

L.A.

IS WHERE BILLIE EILISH AND FINNEAS TURNED A SMALL

BEDROOM IN HIGHLAND PARK INTO A GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING

STUDIO.

THE REAL CLUBS OF L.A.

INSPIRED CHAPPELL ROAN TO CREATE THE ANTHEM THAT IS

"PINK PONY CLUB."

IT WAS HERE IN LOS ANGELES THAT STEVIE WONDER RODE AND

RECORDED ARGUABLY THE

"SONGS AND THE KEY OF LIFE."

L.A.

WAS THE CITY WHERE SNOOP FIRST MIXED GIN AND JUICE,

AND HIP-HOP HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME.

SO, TO KICK OFF TONIGHT'S SHOW IN A REALLY SPECIAL

WAY, ALLOW ME TO TELL YOU ABOUT A BAND THAT HAS L.A.

IN THE DNA.

TAYLOR AND GRIFFIN GOLDSMITH ARE TWO BROTHERS BORN AND

RAISED IN THE CITY WHO MAKE UP THE BAND DAWES.

THEY, LIKE SO MANY OTHERS HAVE LOST SO MUCH IN THESE

FIRES.

GRIFFIN'S HOME, THEIR CHILDHOOD HOME, THEIR HOME

MUSIC STUDIO, AND ALMOST ALL THEIR INSTRUMENTS.

DESPITE THEIR TRAGIC LOSS, DAWES HAVE HELPED RAISE

MONEY FOR NEARLY 100 OTHER FAMILIES ALSO AFFECTED BY

THE DISASTER.

THEY TRULY EPITOMIZE THE UNIQUE

SPIRIT WE ARE SEEING IN L.A.

RIGHT NOW.

THIS YEAR, WHAT BETTER WAY TO START THE GRAMMY AWARDS?

JOINED BY AN ALL-STAR BRAND OF GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING

ARTISTS REPRESENT IN YOUR MUSIC COMMUNITY, COMING

TOGETHER: JOHN LEGEND, SHERYL CROW, BRAD PAISLEY,

BRITTANY HOWARD, AND ST.

VINCENT TO OPEN THE GRAMMYS.

WITH THAT, WE HAVE OFFICIALLY KICKED OFF THE

67TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS.

GIVE IT UP FOR THEM.

MY NAME IS TREVOR NOAH.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SHOW HAS STARTED.

THANK YOU, TEDDY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

TAKE A SEAT, EVERYBODY.

WELCOME TO MUSIC'S BIGGEST NIGHT.

WHEN I MEAN BIGGEST, I MEAN BIGGEST NIGHT.

WITH THE SUPER BOWL AS TO THE NFL, WHAT VALENTINE'S

DAY IS TO ROMANCE, WHAT FATHER'S DAY IS TO NICK

CANNON.

THAT'S WHAT THE GRAMMYS IS TO MUSIC.

IF YOU WATCH THE GRAMMYS BEFORE, WELCOME BACK.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THIS

WE ARE GOING TO BE HONORING THE BEST IN MUSIC AS VOTED

ON BY THE 13,000 MEMBERS OF THE RECORDING ACADEMY.

AND, 20 MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

TONIGHT, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, HISTORY WILL BE

MADE.

SOME ARTISTS, LIKE SABRINA CARPENTER, OR CHAPPELL ROAN,

WHO I SAW OVER THERE, MAY BECOME FIRST TIME GRAMMY

WINNERS.

OTHERS, LIKE TAYLOR SWIFT, ANDRE 3000, AND BEYONCE CAN

FURTHER SOME OF THEMSELVES IN GRAMMY HISTORY.

YES, BEYONCE WILL BE HERE TONIGHT.

I HOPE SHE'LL BE.

I CAN'T MAKE HER DO ANYTHING.

I'M JUST SAYING, I HOPE -- IF SHE DOESN'T SHOW UP, WE

WILL JUST EDIT THIS OUT.

IT'S NOT LIFE.

IT IS.

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.

BUT THINK ABOUT.

QUEEN B IS BACK AT THE GRAMMYS WITH 11 NOMINATIONS

THIS YEAR, PEOPLE.

BEYONCE, 11 NOMINATIONS THIS YEAR.

SHE COULD WIN ALBUM OF THE YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME

EVER, FOR HER SMASH COUNTRY ALBUM "COWBOY CARTER."

I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS: THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW

YOU HAVE CLOCKED THE GAME.

WHEN YOU CAN GO INTO ANY GENRE AND STILL BE ONE OF

THE BEST.

TWO YEARS AGO, BEYONCE WON FOR BEST DANCE ALBUM.

TONIGHT ALONE, SHE IS NOMINATED AND BEST COUNTRY,

BEST POP, BEST AMERICANA, AND BEST MELODIC RAP.

ANDRE 3000 BETTER WATCH OUR.

NEXT YEAR, SHE IS COMING FOR THAT FLUTE THROWN.

THAT'S PROBABLY WHY SHE'S NOT HERE: SHE IS PRACTICING

HER SCALES IN THE CAR.

NO MESS WITH BEYONCE.

YESTERDAY, BEYONCE ANNOUNCED HER NEW TOUR.

I WILL SAY, THERE'S TARIFFS.

WE CANNOT AFFORD A NEW TOUR.

MAPLE SYRUP IS ABOUT TO BE $50.

SPEAKING OF HISTORY, THE BEATLES ARE NOMINATED

TONIGHT FOR RECORD OF THE YEAR.

YES, THE LEGENDARY BAND FROM LIVERPOOL USED AI TO PUT OUT

A NEW SONG AFTER 53 YEARS, WHICH IS A MUCH BETTER USE

OF AI THAN THAT THING YOU DID WITH THE SPAGHETTI, WILL

SMITH.

THAT WAS WEIRD.

GOOD LUCK TO THE BEATLES.

IF THEY WOULD MAKE THIS COULD OPEN UP A FEW DOORS

FOR THEM.

WHO KNOWS?

THROUGH THE POWER OF AI, ONE DAY, WE COULD GET ANOTHER

RIHANNA ALBUM.

YOU NEVER KNOW.

PRAISE BE NVIDIA.

I CAN'T GET OVER HOW MANY STARS ARE GOING TO BE

SITTING IN THESE SEATS.

WE GOT QUEEN LATIFAH IN THE HOUSE, HER MAJESTY.

WE HAVE ALICIA KEYS.

I MEAN, JUST LOOK AT THIS ROOM.

EVERY -- OH, MY GOD, IT'S MUSTAAAARD!

ASK YOUR BLACK FRIENDS.

THREE TIME GRAMMY WINNER SHAKIRA IS IN THE HOUSE.

THE GREATESTTHING OUT OF COLUMBIA THAT IS DECLASSE

FELONY.

WE HAVE LADY GAGA IN THE WE HAVE LADY GAGA IN TH THE

HOU!

SHE'S GOING TO BE PERFORMING TONIGHT, AND SHE JUST

ANNOUNCED HER NEW ALBUM "MAYHEM," WHICH IS REALLY

IMPRESSIVE, DROPPING NEXT MONTH.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU KNEW THE THEME OF 2025 WHEN YOU

NAMED YOUR ALBUM.

I WAS PRESCIENT OF YOU.

CONGRATULATIONS.

TAYLOR SWIFT IS HERE, JACK ANTONOFF -- LOOK AT THIS

TABLE!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

TAYLOR SWIFT, FRESH OFF THE BIGGEST WORLD TOUR IN

HISTORY.

IN HISTORY, PEOPLE.

NOT ONLY DID TAYLOR CRUSH THE RECORD BOOKS: SHE GOT

MORE AMERICANS TRAVELING IN THOSE TURKISH HAIR

TRANSPLANTS.

PEOPLE ARE FLYING EVERYWHERE FOR HER.

TONIGHT, SHE'S BACK WITH ANOTHER SIX NOMINATIONS FOR

THE ALBUM SHE ANNOUNCED WHEN SHE WON LAST YEAR.

THAT WAS LIKE GRAMMY INCEPTION.

I LIKE HOW YOU DID AT.

PLUS, IF TAYLOR WIND, SHE COULD BOTH BCOULD -- BECOME

THE FIRST ARTIST EVER TO WIN ALBUM OF THE YEAR FIVE

TIMES.

YEAH.

WHICH MEANS SHE WOULD BREAK THE

RECORD OF FOUR WINS, SET IN 2024 BY...

TAYLOR SWIFT.

IF YOU BREAK TAYLOR'S RECORD, YOU KNOW THE

SWIFTIES ARE GOING TO COME FOR YOU.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH THEM.

THEY ARE LIKE AN ORANGE ARMY OF KENDRICK LAMAR'S.

WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE NOTICED, THERE'S BEEN A FEW

CHANGES IN WASHINGTON.

I'M GOING TO ENJOY TONIGHT, BECAUSE THIS MAY BE THE LAST

TIME I GET TO HOST ANYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY.

TONIGHT'S JUST NOT ABOUT MUSIC.

ALL NIGHT LONG, WE WILL BE RAISING FUNDS FOR MUSIC

CARES FIRE RELIEF, SUPPOTING THE WORK OF MUSICARES AND

OTHER FANTASTIC CHERRIES.

DIRECT RELIEF IS PROVIDING CARE TO FIRST RESPONDERS,

RESIDENTS, LOCAL HEALTH CENTERS.

TELEPHONE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION HAS DISBURSED

FIRE EIGHT TO MORE THAN 130 LOCAL NONPROFITS, AND

PASADENA COMMITTEE FOUNDATION, SUPPORTING THOSE

HARDEST HIT IN ALTADENA AND PASADENA.

FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS ROOM, THERE

IS A QR CODE ON YOUR SEAT, AT YOUR TABLES, IN YOUR CUP

HOLDERS.

THERE IS A QUEUE THERE IS A QUE QR CODE CRYPTO.COM

ARENA.

WE WANT YOU TO GIVE AS GENEROUSLY AS YOU CAN.

AND IT'S NOT JUST THE INDIVIDUALS IN THIS ROOM.

I KNOW THOSE CORPORATE SPONSORS OUT THERE IN THE

BOXES.

ALL OF THE CEOs.

ALL THE PEOPLE UP THERE.

I WOULD LOVE A DONATION FROM YOU AS WELL.

YEAH, ALL THE MUSIC COMPANIES AS WELL.

EVERYONE HERE.

EVEN THE NETWORK WE ARE WATCHING COME OF THE NETWORK

WE ARE ON, YEAH, CBS.

YOU'VE GOT THAT "EQUALIZER" MONEY.

COME ON.

AT HOME, YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE IN ANY WAY.

STAND UP HERE BEFORE THE MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE IN

MUSIC, I WOULD DEMAND THAT LABELS IN THE INDUSTRY

PROFITING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OFF OF ARTISTS WOULD

OFFER A LIVABLE WAGE AND HEALTH CARE, ESPECIALLY

DEVELOPING ARTISTS.

BECAUSE...

BECAUSE I GOT SIGNED SO YOUNG, I GOT SIGNEDAS A

MINOR.

WHEN I GOT DROPPED, I HAD ZERO JOB EXPERIENCE UNDER MY

BELT, AND LIKE MOST PEOPLE, I HAD A DIFFICULT JOB

FINDING -- -- QUITE A DIFFICULT TIME FINDING A JOB

IN THE PANDEMIC AND CANNOT AFFORD INSURANCE.

IT WAS DEVASTATING TO FEEL SO COMMITTED TO MY ART AND

FEEL SO BETRAYED BY THE SYSTEM AND DEHUMANIZED TO

NOT HAVE -- IF MY LABEL HAD PRIORITIZED IT, I COULD HAVE

BEEN PROVIDED CARE FOR A COMPANY I WAS GIVING

EVERYTHING TO.

ARTISTS AS VALUABLE EMPLOYEES WITH A LIVABLE

WAGE AND HEALTH INSURANCE AND PROTECTION.

ACADEMY COULD DO.

WHEN I TOOK ON THIS ROLE BACK IN 2020, I WANT TO THE

ORGANIZATION TO CHANGE AND MODERNIZE, SO WE COULD BE

BETTER AND SERVE THIS DYNAMIC IN GLOBAL MUSIC

COMMUNITY, BUT MY EARLY DAYS WERE NOT EXACTLY

STRAIGHTFORWARD.

THE ACADEMY FACED SOME REAL CRITICISM FROM MANY IN OUR

MUSIC COMMUNITY.

SOME ARTISTS WERE PRETTY VOCAL WITH THEIR COMPLAINTS.

I REMEMBER WAKING UP TO THE HEADLINES THAT THE WEEKND

CALLED OUT THE ACADEMY FOR A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY IN OUR

WORDS.

HE WENT SO FAR TO ANNOUNCE HE WAS BOYCOTTING THE

GRAMMYS.

THAT MADE FOR SOME INTERESTING READING OVER

BREAKFAST.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

CRITICISM IS OKAY.

I HEARD HIM.

I FELT HIS CONVICTION.

WHAT WE ALL WANT IS AN ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO

THE WELL-BEING OF ALL MUSIC MAKERS, AND ONE THAT

REFLECTS THE ENTIRE MUSIC HUMANITY, FOR NOW AND FOR

FUTURE GENERATIONS.

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, WE HAVE LISTENED.

WE HAVE ACTED, AND WE'VE CHANGE WE HAVE ACTED, AND

WE'VE CHAN CHANGED.

WE'VE LAUNCHED INITIATIVES LIKE THE BLACK MUSIC

COLLECTIVE, WOMEN IN THE MIX, ACADEMY PROUD, AND

OTHERS.

HIGH SCHOOL.

QUINCY JONES WAS A MENTOR, FRIEND,

FATHER FIGURE.

WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE STORY ABOUT QUINCY.

QUINCY WAS THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF ""THE FRESH

PRINCE OF BEL-AIR"" FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR"."

FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR"."

WE ARE ONSET ONE DAY.

I'M 22 YEARS OLD.

QUINCY GAVE ME A SHOT WITH THE SHOW.

I'M ON SET, AND HIM HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME, BECAUSE

Y'ALL SAW THE EARLY EPISODES SO Y'ALL KNOW I COULDN'T

REALLY ACT.

I'M HAVING A HARD TIME ONSET.

I'M WORKING THROUGH A SCENE.% SOMEBODY SAYS "WILL,

QUINCY WANTS TO SEE YOU."

AND I SAID "I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCENE."

AND HE SAID "NO, HE SAID COME RIGHT NOW."

SO I GO.

QUINCY'S STANDING.

HE'S GOT HIS HANDS ON HIS HIPS, AND HE'S AT THE SNACK

TABLE.

HE'S LOOKING AT THE SNACKS.

I WAS LIKE "WHAT'S UP, Q?"

AND HE SAID "DOES THE FOOD YOU THINK THE PEOPLE ON YOUR

SESSION EAT?"

AND I SAID "QUINCY, I DON'T DO THE SNACKS ON THE SHOW."

AND HE SAID "WHOSE NAME IS ON THE SCRIPT?"

AND I SAID "IT'S A FRESH PRINCE, QUINCY.

IT'S ME."

AND HE SAID "SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: YOU WANT

THESE PEOPLE TO WORK 16 OR 18 HOURS A DAY SO YOU CAN

REALIZE YOUR DREAMS, AND THIS IS THE FOOD YOU THINK

THEY SHOULD EAT?

I DON'T CARE IF IT'S NOT IN THE BUDGET: YOU PAY FOR IT

OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET."

AND HE SAID SOMETHING TO ME THAT

BECAME THE ABSOLUTE CENTER OF HOW I WANTED TO HAVE MY

CAREER, HOW I WANTED TO LIVE MY LIFE.

HE LOOKED RIGHT AT MY FACE AND HE SAID "IT IS YOUR JOB

TO TAKE CARE OF THESE PEOPLE," AND HAVE DONE

EVERYTHING I CAN FOR MY CAREER TO TRY TO LIVE UP TO

QUINCY'S DEMAND.

ALL OF Q'S CHILDREN AND ALL OF US

WHO LOVED HIM LIKE HE WAS OUR FATHER KNOW THIS: QUINCY

JONES ALWAYS TOOK CARE OF PEOPLE, AND THAT'S HOW HE

FED THE WORLD.

QUINCY THOMAS HALL THAT LIFE IS A FEAST -- QUINCY TAUGHT

US ALL THAT LIFE IS A FEAST, AND YOU DON'T STOP 'UNTIL

YOU GET ENOUGH.

WHAT'S GOOD?

I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING ALICIA KEYS FOR A

FROM THE START, WE ALL HEARD THE IMMENSE POWER OF HER

VOICE.

OVER THE YEARS, WE HAVE WATCHED HER CONTINUOUSLY

TRANSFORM.

SHE BECAME AN ACTOR, INCREDIBLE WIFE, INCREDIBLE

MOTHER.

AFTER OVER 13 YEARS IN THE MAKING, SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE

TO BRING HER LIFE STORY TO BROADWAY IN THE SMASH HIT

"HELL'S KITCHE IN THE SMASH HIT "HELL'S KI "HELL'S

KITCHEN."

IF YOU HAVEN'T MADE IT TO NEW YORK,

MAKE SURE YOU GO TO BROADWAY AND SEE THAT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SHE IS A CONSTANT INSPIRATION THROUGH HER

VOICE, TALENT, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, THROUGH HER

HEART.

IF YOU KNOW ALICIA, YOU ALSO KNOW HOW FUNNY AND SARCASTIC

SHE CAN BE.

SHE'S A 17 TIME GRAMMY WINNER.

INCLUDING A NEW WIN TODAY

FOR MUSICAL THEATER ALBUM.

LET'S GO!

ALICIA IS A GLOBAL FORCE, DEEPLY

IMPACTING MUSIC, CULTURE, AND HUMANITY TO BECOME ONE

OF THE MOST INSPIRING ARTISTS OF OUR TIME, BUT

SHE'S ALSO JUST ALICI TIME, BUT SHE'S ALSO JUST ALI

ALICIA.

SHE'S ALWAYS THERE WHEN WE NEED HER.

HERE'S A LOOK AT THE EXTRAORDINARY IMPACT OF THE

PROFOUNDLY TALENTED ALICIA KEYS.

WITH THE PIANO, HER VOICE, AND AN UNDENIABLE SPIRIT.

BY 20, SHE CAPTIVATED THE WORLD WITH "SONGS IN A

GRAMMYS.

HER MUSIC RECENTLY MADE ITS WAY TO BROADWAY IN THE

MUSICAL "HELL'S KITCHEN."

ALICIA IS THE FIRST FEMALE SOLO WRITER, PRODUCER, AND

PERFORMANCE YOU HAVE A SONG HIT 1 BILLION STREAMS.

TONIGHT IS A BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL THING THAT WE ARE

CULTIVATING.

DRE.

WHO CREATED A SOUND THAT BEGAN A

MOVEMENT.

YOUR SOUND TOLD ME THAT IF YOU ARE A CREATIVE GROWING

UP IN COMPTON OR HELL'S KITCHEN, YOU CAN TOUCH THE

WORLD.

I ALWAYS HAD TO FIGHT FOR A CERTAIN LEVEL OF RESPECT AS

A SONGWRITER, COMPOSER, AND ESPECIALLY A PRODUCER.

IT'S STRANGE THAT WE DON'T THINK OF WOMEN AS PRODUCERS

LIKE QUINCY OR DRE OR SWIZZY, BUT FEMALES HAVE

ALWAYS POWER THE INDUSTRY MISSY ELLIOTT, LINDA PERRY,

SOLANGE, SO MANY MORE.

WE STAND TOGETHER, SO IT'S A BEAUTIFUL FEELING TO BE

ACKNOWLEDGED FOR THE THING I ALWAYS THOUGHT PEOPLE DIDN'T

REALLY RECOGNIZE ABOUT ME.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL THING.

I'VE BEEN BLESSED TO CREATE WITH SOME OF THE MOST

SUPERPOWERED GROUNDBREAKING RISK TAKERS LIKE VICTORIA

JOSEPH, MY MAMA, AND -- DESIREE PEREZ, JODI GERSHON.

THEY SAW IN ME WHAT I DIDN'T SEE MYSELF.

SHEET -- AT THE MUSIC TO OPEN THE DOORS FOR OTHER

WOMEN WHO DIDN'T GET THE OPPORTUNITIES OR CREDIT THEY

DESERVE.

THIS IS FOR ALL THE LADIES THAT NO THE MAGIC THAT THEY

BRING TO THE ROOM.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO SHUT DOWN

THE DIVERSITY OF VOICES.

WE HAVE SEEN ON THIS STAGE TALENTED, HARDWORKING PEOPLE

FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS WITH DIFFERENT POINTS OF

VIEW, AND IT CHANGES THE GAME.

DER IS NOT A THREAT: IT'S A GIFT -- DEI IS NOT A THREAT:

IT'S A GIFT.

THE MORE VOICES, THE MORE

POWERFUL THE SOUND.

WHEN DESTRUCTIVE FORCES TRY TO BURN US DOWN.

WE RISE FROM THE ASHES LIKE A PHOENIX, AND AS YOU SEE

TONIGHT, MUSIC IS THE UNSTOPPABLE LANGUAGE THAT

CONNECTS US ALL.

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

SO, LET'S KEEP SHOWING UP WITH

COMPASSION, WITH EMPATHY.

WHAT I CALL SOUL CARE.

KEEP OPENING THE DOORS.

THE DREAMS THAT THE WORLD IS OUGHT TO BE.

THE DREAM OF THE WORLD AS IT OUGHT TO BE, AS THE GREAT

TONI MORRISON SAID.

THANK YOU FOR THIS MASSIVE AWARD, THIS MASSIVE HONOR TO

THE ACADEMY, TO THE BLACK MUSIC COLLECTIVE, TO

EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER BEEN TOUCHED BY THE MUSIC AND THE

MESSAGE.
