CELEB TWEETS

* Montero (LilNasX): If I don’t leave with Grammys tomorrow I will be formally turning in my resignation letter to the Illuminati.
* Tegan and Sara (teganandsara): We‘ve never won a Grammy but I still feel like we hit the jackpot every day. We travel, make music, and make a living doing it. We have gotten more than our fair share. It’s hard work but good work. And there is no award that would make that any more clear to me.
* Judy MillerSilverman (motormouthmedia): All media outlets, AroojAftab is not the first female Pakistani person to win a Grammy, she is the first Pakistani to ever win. Period.
