The 2019 American Music Awards had some iconic moments — from Lizzo’s tiny purse, another saucy “Seniorita” performance from Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, and Taylor Swift’s melody performance (which, yes, she was actually able to perform her old songs).
And of the iconic moments of the night, Halsey’s acceptance speech was one of them. She was awarded the favorite pop/rock song award for her single “Without Me,” which chronicled her breakup with the rapper G-Eazy.
During her speech, though, Halsey made a couple of not-so-subtle dig at the Grammy’s. When the nominations were released, fans noticed that Halsey wasn’t nominated for any awards, even though her single “Without Me” was a Billboard Hot 100 number-one song.
And we don’t blame her, considering this was one of the biggest years in her career yet. But don’t worry, because Halsey made sure to point that out in her acceptance speech.
