His acceptance speech was short and sweet, taking the time to appreciate his team who helped him along the way.

“This was the first song we wrote after my first album came out, during a day off in Nashville. I feel very grateful to be here, thank you.” He continued by showing gratitude to his fellow nominees which he beat out including Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Doja Cat.

“All of these songs are f–kin’ massive so thank you so much,” the former One Direction member stated. “I feel very honored to be among all of you.”

In an interview with Variety in December 2020, just as the nominations were announced, Styles opened up about the importance of recognition, but simultaneously humbleness.

“It’s always nice to know that people like what you’re doing, but ultimately — and especially working in a subjective field — I don’t put too much weight on that stuff. I think it’s important when making any kind of art to remove the ego from it. It’s about the work that you do when you’re not expecting any applause.”

Grammy Performance 

The 27 year old was nominated for 3 categories this year including Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Music Video, keeping stakes high for a win. He kicked off the spectacular evening with a jazzy edition of his hit “Watermelon Sugar,” the song which secured his spot on the list of winners.
