'Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular,' Cyrus said.
"Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy," she continued, "but everyone in this world is spectacular. So please don't think that this is important. Even though it's very important, right guys," gesturing to her team behind her.
She also proceeded to acknowledge thanks to "my mommy, my sister, my love, my main gays, because look how good I look." And in concluding shoutouts, she said, "Thank you all so much. I don't think I've forgotten anyone. But I might've forgotten underwear. Bye!"
