“This is not the time to shut down the diversity of voices. We’ve seen, on this stage, talented, hard-working people, from different backgrounds with different points of view, and it changes the game,” she said. “DEI is not a threat.

When destructive forces try to burn us down, we rise from the ashes like a phoenix,” she said.

Though talk about the national political climate was scarce on Sunday, a few more artists used their acceptance speeches to talk about issues close to their hearts.
