Some moments in life transcend words. Winning a GRAMMY can often be one of those magical moments. For the music creators who took home GRAMMY gold at last night's 61st GRAMMY Awards, reactions varied from shock to elation to tears of joy and more. But when passion, hard work, taking risks and pouring your heart and soul into music results in the ultimate peer-recognized award for excellence, gratitude seems to be the common denominator amongst GRAMMY winners.
From H.E.R. shouting out BTS to Ariana Grande's thoughts on winning her first career GRAMMY, to (of course) a little humor from "Weird Al" Yankovic, let's look at what winners were posting in the afterglow of Music's Biggest Night.
