Like I said in my speech, my album of the year was Lemonade, so a piece of me did die inside as a Beyoncé stan, I’m not gonna lie. ‘Cause I was completely rooting for her, I voted for her. I spoke to her before just to let her know how honored and privileged I felt to be nominated alongside her, and we spoke afterward as well and she was very gracious and humble, as always, as we’ve come to expect from her. She is my icon of my whole life. I was 11 when I first heard ‘No No No’ and I fell in love with her. I’m 28 now and the way that I felt when I first heard ‘No No No’ was exactly the same as how I felt when I heard ‘Lemonade’ last year. And for an artist to be making such relevant music for that long of a period and still affect all of us, it’s not just me. There’s friendships I have that are completely tied to us being complete Beyoncé stans. I don’t take any fucking shit when it comes to anyone not liking Beyoncé. You can’t be in my life. You simply can’t. I felt like it was her time to win. My view is, what the fuck does she have to do to win Album of the Year? That’s also how I feel. I felt like this album was another side to her that we haven’t seen and I felt blessed to be brought into that situation. Obviously, the visual is very new and the Grammys are very traditional. But I just thought that this year would be the year that they would go with the tide. Of course I’m very, very grateful having won it but I felt a need, because I love her, I felt like she was more than worthy. – Adele after winning Album and Song of the Year at the 59th GRAMMYs
