00:00Thank you so much for giving, giving this award to this video, because I'm so proud of it. To the
00:05fans, thank you for voting on it. I just, I loved making this video because I wanted it to seem
00:13like one continuous shot, so I learned a lot about hiding cuts in places and, and I want to thank
00:19everybody who helped me on this video shoot because, uh, just the choreography, I loved so much Mandy Moore was
00:25my choreographer.
00:29Set design, production design by Ethan Tobin, my editor, Chancellor Haynes. Um, and, um, my cinematographer on this video I've
00:39gotten to work with before. He's one of the people who gave me the confidence to actually direct videos on
00:43my own. His name is Rodrigo Prieto. I want to thank him.
00:50And lastly, but most importantly, I want to thank and dedicate this award to one person, uh, without whom just
00:58this, this wouldn't be happening. And that person is, um, the ultimate showgirl, Dolly Parton.
01:26Every single song that she wrote, her storytelling was so vivid and so rich. It was like,
01:33listening to her songs. It's like watching the best music video you have ever seen in your life. Every single
01:39time you hear what she has written and she, man, she handled this thing with such grace and joy and
01:48love and gratitude for the fact that she got to do this and everything that happened in her life or
01:54her career.
01:54She channeled back into love and gratitude and appreciation for her fans. I am lucky I got to be one
02:00of them and I will always be one of them.
02:08I love you all so very much. And I, I think that we were all very, very,
02:23I think we were all very lucky to share this planet with Dolly Parton for a time.
02:28and thank you for this amazing moment. I love you all good night.
