THE WINNERS

ALBUM OF THE YEAR and BEST POP VOCAL ALBUM.
"Midnights" - Taylor Swift.

The Lyrics of "Anti-Hero"

I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift
All of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room

I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis (tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time)

It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
At tea time, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed

Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
(Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I'll watch as you're leaving
And life will lose all its meaning
(For the last time)

It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
(I'm the problem, it's me)
At tea time, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

I have this dream my daughter in-law kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers 'round and reads it and then someone screams out
"She's laughing up at us from hell"

It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi, everybody agrees, everybody agrees

It's me, hi (hi), I'm the problem, it's me
(I'm the problem, it's me)
At tea (tea) time (time), everybody agrees (everybody agrees)
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

RECORD OF THE YEAR and BEST SOLO PERFORMANCE.
"Flowers" - Milley Cyrus.

The Lyrics of "Flowers"

We were good, we were gold
Kinda dream that can't be sold
We were right 'til we weren't
Built a home and watched it burn

Mm, I didn't wanna leave you
I didn't wanna lie
Started to cry, but then remembered I

I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby

Paint my nails cherry red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse, no regret
I forgive every word you said

Ooh, I didn't wanna leave you, baby
I didn't wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I

I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours, yeah
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
Oh, I

I didn't wanna leave you
I didn't wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I

I can buy myself flowers (oh)
Write my name in the sand (mm)
Talk to myself for hours (yeah)
Say things you don't understand (you never will)
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

Can love me better
I can love me better, baby (oh)
Can love me better
I can love me better (than you can), baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better I

SONG OF THE YEAR.
"What Was I Made For?" - Billie Eilish.

The Lyrics of "What Was I Made For?"

I used to float, now I just fall down
I used to know but I'm not sure now
What I was made for
What was I made for?

Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
Looked so alive, turns out I'm not real
Just something you paid for
What was I made for?

'Cause I, I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday, I might
Someday, I might

When did it end? All the enjoyment
I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend
It's not what he's made for
What was I made for?

'Cause I, 'cause I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday I might
Someday I might

Think I forgot how to be happy
Something I'm not, but something I can be
Something I wait for
Something I'm made for
Something I'm made for

"What Was I Made For?" is Billie's fifth single from the soundtrack of 2023 fantasy comedy film "Barbie." It was released through Atlantic, Darkroom, and Interscope Records on July 13, 2023. The song was commercially successful, peaking at 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.

Victoria Monét - "On My Mama"

The Song Lyrics of "On My Mama"

When they say, "She get it from her mama"
I'ma say, "You fuckin' right"
Body rude, it's unpolite
Done being the humble type
Tell me, is you down?
'Cause I'm tryin go up tonight
Hoes and hoochies left and right

I just wanna live in a fantasy
I think we deserve it, right?
Top all the memories
I've ever made in my life
Permanent ecstasy
Ladies is pimps tonight
Living inside a dream
Let's lay where the lovers lie

I put that on my own mama
On my hood, I look fly, I look good
You can't touch my bag
Wish you could, I look fly, I look too good

Put that on my own mama
On my hood, I look fly, I look good
You can't touch my bag
Wish you could, I look fly, I look too good

On my mama (mama)
on my hood (hood), I look fly (yeah)
I look good (good)
Touch my swag (swag),
wish you could (could)
I look fly (yeah), I look good, good, good

I'm so deep in my bag
Like a grandma with a peppermint
They say, "Ooh, she smell good"
That's just 'cause I'm Heaven-sent
Sex game go stupid (ayy)
Snappin' like a toothpick (ayy)

Man, to tell the truth
Your opinion is irrelevant, but I
I know you think I'm fine
Might be too fine to hit it from behind
Reflection in the mirror don't decline
I can't even lie, lie, lie

I put that on my own mama
On my hood, I look fly, I look good
You can't touch my bag
Wish you could, I look fly, I look too good

Put that on my own mama
On my hood, I look fly, I look good
You can't touch my bag
Wish you could, I look fly, I look too good

On my mama (mama), on my hood (hood)
I look fly (yeah), I look good (good)
Touch my swag (swag)
wish you could (could)
I look fly (yeah), I look good, good

On my mama, on my hood
I look fly, I look good
Touch my swag, wish you could
I look fly, I look good
