"From the Motown records I wore out on the Southside, to the Who Run The World songs that fueled me through this last decade, music has always helped me tell my story," she said over deafening applause. "Music shows us that all of it matters. Every story within every voice, every note within every song." You can watch a video of her full appearance here via The Hollywood Reporter.
