I love Harry (Styles). Lizzo ... come on. I love all of those records.” Raitt kept up the gratitude as she turned to leave. “I’m so lucky to do this for a living ... I’m going to go cry now.”

The pair were the first dual recipients. Some of the show's tenderest highlights came with frequent cuts to Robinson and Gordy sitting side by side at their table of honor, both often grinning at each other, singing along to the Motown classics and leaping to their feet to cheer in appreciation.

A shook-up Lizzo bounded onto the stage to accept record of the year for "About Damn Time" and thanked Prince, who embodied the musical essence of Minneapolis, the city where Lizzo broke out. “When we lost Prince, I decided to dedicate my life to making positive music," she said. Being misunderstood made her want to "make the world a better place, so I had to be that change, to make the world a better place.”
