But also, you're correct, the people that do hand over the award to her do make it even that much more amplified. So I think it was all of that coming together and it ended up being beautiful in a way. Because if you look at the reviews now, when people speak about the show holistically, they're saying, best Grammys in however many years. Because that's really what TV is about.

That rollercoaster of emotion is actually quite good sometimes. If you can cry this one moment, but also end up crying because you're joyful and you're happy that Beyonce finally clinched the award. That's what makes it beautiful. So it ultimately worked out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

100%, it did. So in the beginning, as you correctly point out, people are kind of looking for permission to act a certain way, but they don't know how to act until you give them that direction, right? And so in the opening of the show, I think quickly people were there to celebrate artists and music, obviously it's music's biggest night, but you made them observe a moment initially.

And they're like, okay, cool. We're with that. And then slowly the show started to open up with the performances, obviously the production, et cetera, and so on. And people started to feel good about it. Now, when you mentioned Kendrick, I can tell you right now, everybody, when the Kendrick announcement, well, because it happened twice in the live show, not the three awards he won before.

Both those instances, when Kendrick won, I think everybody in the building was happy for him. Everybody was happy. Yeah, yeah, they were. To the point where they literally sang along to Not Like Us until he stepped on stage. I'm a huge Drake fan.

No, no, no, no. It already started to warm up. It had started to warm up long before that.

You've mentioned about the different set changes. Obviously, you have stage left and stage right. During Sabrina's performance, she had the part where she's by the porch. And at the end, I think they're supposed to clear the porch so that you can drop the stage on the left so that Cardi would come out of the performance. And I think there was a delay with clearing that.

The stage couldn't drop fully. He delivered the link. And I think you had to buy, like, it looked like 20 seconds. Correct. My question is, and I've seen these things happen specifically with you, very, very special moments that the viewer doesn't get to understand because they don't know what was meant to happen to begin with. And things will go wrong in a major way. I've never seen you.

I've never heard you shout. I've never seen you lose your composure. Is that a matter of just experience or is that how you are as a person?
