So it's not just merch, but it was a moment.

It's iconic.

Like, is this a big night? So tonight we are celebrating.

Well, I'm nervous for you. I know, my fingers are crossed. We're excited. But you know what? It's an honor to be nominated. I know that's like cliche to say, but it is, you know, the pinnacle award. So we're excited to be here.
