It’s safe to say that Adele and Beyonce both won the 2017 Grammys by just being themselves.
While both slayed on stage in epic performances, Adele also gave Bey multiple shoutouts during her acceptance speeches and backstage in the press room.
“I can’t possibly accept this award,” Adele said while accepting Album of the Year. “And I’m very humbled and I’m very grateful and gracious but my artist of my life is Beyoncé and this album to me, the Lemonade album, was just so monumental, Beyonce. It was so monumental and so well thought out, and so beautiful and soul-bearing. We got to see another side to you that you don’t always let us see, and we appreciate that, and all us artists here who adore you. And you are our lives, and the way that you make me and my friends feel, the way you make my black friends feel is empowering, and you make them stand up for themselves, and I love you. I always have and I always will.”
Celebs took to Twitter to gush over both ladies and how inspiring they are. Check out what Dove Cameron and other stars had to say:
