Miley Cyrus took home the first two Grammys of her career, with her hit single ‘Flowers’ winning Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year.

During her acceptance speech, the ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ singer shared an inspirational story about a boy and a butterfly.

“So there was a little boy that all he wanted for his birthday was a butterfly, and so his parents gave him a butterfly net, and he was so excited he just went outside out in the sun and started swinging. But with no luck, he sat down on the ground he finally let go, and he surrendered, and he was okay that he wasn’t going to capture this beautiful butterfly,” she said.

“And right when he did is when the butterfly came and landed right on the tip of his nose, and this song ‘Flowers’ is my butterfly. Thank you.”

Victoria Monét also earned her first set of Grammys last night, earning Best R&B Album, Best Engineered Album and the coveted Best New Artist categories.

In her tear-filled speech for Best New Artist, the ‘On My Mama’ talent described her win as 15 years in the making.

“I moved to LA in 2009, and I like to liken myself to a plant who was planted, and you can look at the music industry as soil,” she explained.

“And you can look at it as dirty or it can be looked at as a source of nutrients and water. And my roots have been growing underneath the ground unseen for so long. And I feel like today I’m sprouting finally above ground.”

Another big winner of the night was Billie Eilish, who secured the Song Of The Year and Best Song Written For Visual Media Grammys for ‘What Was I Made For’.

During the pre-show ceremony, boygenius (Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus) nabbed the Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance awards for their track ‘Not Strong Enough,’ and Best Alternative Music Album for their critically acclaimed album The Record.

Lastly, LGBTQ+ icon Kylie Minogue won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Dance Recording for ‘Padam Padam’ – her first in 20 years.

Shortly after her win, the legendary Aussie talent sent a heartfelt message to her queer fan base for their endless support during an interview with E! News Live from the Red Carpet.

“I would say thank you for being with me for such a long time now, through thick and thin,” she exclaimed, per People.

“We ride the highs, the lows and the in-betweens, and to know that we’ve got each other’s backs, and this feels like the start of the next era.”

In addition to the show’s stacked list of talented winners, viewers were treated to some incredible performances from Cyrus, SZA, Eilish, and the legendary Tracy Chapman – who performed her hit track ‘Fast Car’ with Luke Combs.
