They're counting what you listen to, the albums that you're passionate about. I count these as fan-voted awards, because you guys are the ones who care about our albums and come see us in concert. Everything that's happened with the Eras Tour and 'The Tortured Poets Department,' I just have to say thank you."
"It means the world to me that you guys have embraced the things I've made, and the fact that you've cared so much about my music," she continued. "This is, like, the nicest early birthday present you could have given me. So, thank you very much. I love it. It's exactly what I wanted."
