00:00Oh my gosh, I can't believe this.
00:03Thank you so much.
00:06I've prepared something because I didn't want to mess this up.
00:10And I feel like this is a really big moment for myself and a lot of other people.
00:15And so if you don't mind me, I'm going to speed through this.
00:18Hopefully.
00:20Okay, first of all, Bruno, I know what you're watching.
00:25Oh my God.
00:30First of all, thank you so much, Bruno.
00:35I can't believe this.
00:37I'm going to call you after, so I'll say everything.
00:40Thank you so much for believing in me and helping me build this world together.
00:45I'm really, really forever grateful for you and our friendship and everything.
00:49Okay, so here we go.
00:51Here comes the...
00:53Okay.
00:55So someone asked me the other day what my fear in life was.
00:59And I was quite shocked at my own response.
01:02I had no idea how deeply personal this journey had been for me.
01:06I told them I fear that somewhere along the way of this journey of pursuing my dreams,
01:12I might hit a wall and possibly disappoint my 16-year-old self,
01:17who grew up always an oddball among society,
01:21that wished someday she too could be herself and equally pursue her dreams,
01:27just as well as anyone else I saw on television.
01:3012 years later, I dedicate this award to my 16-year-old self, who dreams.
01:43And to all those who have watched me grow into the artist that I am today
01:48and placed their dreams in me to make this change.
01:52Every single one of you has put me here,
01:55and now I believe there is no imposter in the world
01:59when MTV has given me this award here at the VMAs.
02:09This is a really big moment for 16-year-old me
02:12and anyone else who has dreamed of being accepted equally for their hard work.
02:18I accept this award proudly because it has come with the hard work
02:23and discipline of my extremely hard-working team,
02:26Yuna, Jane, Ashley and Megan.
02:29Thank you all so much.

03:00All those sleepless nights you spent for me to stand strong alone
03:04is really paying off today.
