And the Grammy goes to...
Taylor Swift.
I want to thank the fans for the last 10 years.
The Recording Academy for giving us this unbelievable honor.
I want to thank all of my collaborators that you see on this stage.
Mostly, I want to thank my co-executive producer, Max Martin,
who has deserved to be up here for 25 years.
And as the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice,
I want to say to all the young women out there,
there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success
or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.
But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you,
someday when you get where you're going,
you'll look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you
who put you there.
And that will be the greatest feeling in the world.
Thank you for this moment.
