Thank you MTV, Island Records, my team, my family and friends. I want to dedicate this award to all the drag artists who inspire me. I also want to dedicate it to all the queer and trans people who make my music pop, to all the people who love my songs, hate them, and all the gay people. To my fans, to all the people who listen to my music, to those who listen when I share my joys and my fears, thank you for listening. And to all the queer kids watching out in the Midwest, I see you all. I relate to you all, because I am you, and never let anyone tell you you can’t be who you want to be!”
