"Let me tell you something," Lizzo began her acceptance speech after embracing the award's presenter Chris Martin, "Me and Adele [are] having a good time just enjoying ourselves just rooting for our friends, so this is an amazing night!"

Lizzo made the decision to root for the late and legendary Prince as she dedicated her Grammy in his honor. The rock icon passed away in 2016.

"When we lost Prince, I decided to dedicate my life to making positive music, and I was like, 'I don't care if my positivity bother[s] you, what's wrong with you?'' Lizzo explained. "And this was at a time when positive music, feel-good music wasn't mainstream at that point, and I felt very misunderstood. I felt [like I was] on the outside looking in, but I stayed true to myself because I wanted to make the world a better place, so I had to be that change, to make the world a better place," she continued. "And now I look around and there's all these songs that are about loving our bodies, and feeling comfortable in our skin, and feeling f***ing GOOD, and I just so proud to be a part of it, because in a world where there is a lot of darkness and a lot of scary s**t, I'd like to believe that not only could people do good, but we just are good inherently! And anybody at home who feels misunderstood or on the outside looking in like I did, just stay true to yourself because I promise you, you will find people, you will attract people in your life who believe in you and support you..." Lizzo went on to tell the crowd.

Clark and Antonoff co-produced "Daddy's Home," which was released in May of 2021. Antonoff has also produced titles for Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, and Lorde.
