“That glass ceiling has to be broken,” Monae improvised as the audience erupted into cheers and applause. “All the women who are nominated, all the women who are going, all the women who work so hard, this event was to acknowledge you. As much as I’m nominated, I would not be anything without the village of women who are walking into their truth,” she said. Women, from Lady Gaga to SZA to Maren Morris, make up many the nominations in song and record of the year. It’s a far stretch from last year’s Grammys, where Lorde was the only women nominated for album of the year and only two women won prizes during the live telecast.
