Billie Eilish Wins Record of the Year, but Tells Megan Thee Stallion: ‘You Deserve This’
Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell took home the top prize at the Grammys once again… but Megan Thee Stallion was at the center of Billie’s acceptance speech!
In her acceptance speech, the 19-year-old singer addressed Megan in the audience, saying how much the “Savage” singer deserved the award over her.
"This is really embarrassing for me,” Billie said. “Megan, girl... I was gonna write a speech about how you deserve this, but then I was like, ‘There's no way they're going to choose me.’ I was like, ‘It's hers.’ You deserve this. You had a year that I think is untoppable. You are a queen — I want to cry thinking about how much I love you... You deserve everything in the world. I think about you constantly... You deserve it.” She then asked everyone to applaud Megan before thanking the Academy and her team.
