“Thank you so much MTV for this award. This album means so much to me. It was so fun to make a film to give it more context and meaning.”
She further added:
“Winning this award is so special, because it was voted for by the fans. And I am so, so, so grateful for everyone who has supported me, my music, and this film.”
Thanking her fans, she said:
“I wouldn’t be here without you guys. The love you guys have shown to me is so unbelievably life-changing.”
