Most Unexpected: Kendrick Lamar 
Kendrick Lamar’s victory of “Best Rap,” “Best Song of the Year” and “Best Record of the Year” was anticipated, but seeing him sweep in all five of his nominated categories, made it a night to remember. 

Best Speech: Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan’s acceptance speech was incredible to hear – her advocacy for supporting and defending developing artists was admirable. Her commitment to justice is truly inspiring and as a long time fan, I’m so happy for her “Best New Artist” win. 

Best Performance: Doechii
Doechii’s Grammy performance was hands-down the best of the night! The way she commands the stage is unmatched. After seeing her kill it at NPR’s Tiny Desk and Stephen Colbert’s late night show, I had high expectations – and she delivered! 

Most Deserving: Beyonce wins AOTY
It’s about time! After 25 years, Beyonce has finally received Album of  the  Year! Cowboy Carter was an amazing body of work, with incredible vocals, moving lyrics and clever production – her win was 100 percent deserved.
