The singer said on stage: "Wow. Thank you so much. I'm so floored, I'm so moved. This is so wild to be up here with so many artists that I worship, these are some of my all-time favourite artists up here. "This year has been so wild, and I have no explanation for it except that I have you guys to thank.
I know that. " Dove subsequently dedicated her award to "all of the queer kids out there who don't feel that they can take up space and inhabit the fullness of who they are".
Dove also spoke about her 2021 hit single 'Boyfriend', in which she references her sexuality, after she came out as queer. Speaking about the reaction to the record, Dove said: "Thank you for getting an overtly queer song onto mainstream radio.
