- Harry!
HARRY STYLES: Man, I've been so, so inspired by every artist this category with me. And a lot of different times in my life, I listened to everyone in this category when I'm alone. And I think on nights like tonight, it's obviously so important for us to remember that there is no such thing as Best in Music.
I don't think any of us sit in studio thinking-- making decisions based on what is going to get us one of these. This is really, really kind. I'm so, so grateful. I'm gonna pass it over to my collaborators who are-- I'm just so-- this doesn't happen to people like me very often. This is so, so nice. Thank you very, very much.
[APPLAUSE]
- Yes, Duchess. Love ya.
