“I just feel very full and very honored,” the 43-year-old gushed as she accepted the award alongside her oldest daughter. “It’s been many, many years—I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors.”
In fact, winning this award, after being previously nominated in the same category for I Am…Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé, Lemonade and Renaissance made her the first Black woman to do so in the 21st century.
This year, the “Crazy In Love” singer was also joined in the category by Taylor herself, André 3000, Sabrina Carpenter, Jacob Collier, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX and Billie Eilish. But the moment her name was announced, the audience and her fellow nominees were visibly moved by her achievement, with even Billie and Lady Gaga shedding a few proud tears. And Beyoncé could not forget to give a shoutout to her baby girls.
