Grammy: Tems Buzzes the internet with her Grammy Awards Speech
Tems’ recent Grammy win has set the internet ablaze, not just for her incredible talent, but for her heartfelt acceptance speech. She took to the stage, her heart clearly overflowing, and exclaimed, “Woah! My heart is beating so fast. It’s not showing up right now, wow!!” Her genuine surprise and joy were !nfectious, saying the least.
What truly resonated with many was her unapologetic focus on gratitude. “Dear God thank you so much for putting me on this stage and bringing me this team,” she expressed, acknowledging the source of her success. She even dedicated the win to her mother, whose birthday coincided with the momentous occasion, saying, “Tomorrow is my mum’s birthday and this is her first Grammy’s and I just want to thank you so much because you’ve really done a lot for me and my brother.”
Tems didn’t forget her team either, thanking them by name and expressing her love. “I love you guys, thank you so much.” Her closing words, “To God be the glory because honestly, he changed my life so much. Thank you, thank you so much God,” cemented her message of humility, faith and recognition of the power of teamwork.
While the majority of reactions were positive, with comments like “This is wonderful…keep going girl” and “Aww, wonderful,” some took a different angle. One commented, “She could have thanked her shape and body,” while another brought up other artists, saying, “Just be yourself… same Grammy that made Yemi and Davido to feature Angelina Kijoe for.”
Despite these comments, Tems’ sincere gratitude glared through, making her win even more inspiring.
