Taking the stage after being announced as the winner of the coveted award by Ringo Starr, Eilish began her speech by stating that she believed the award deserved to go to her fellow nominee, Megan Thee Stallion.

I was like, 'It's hers'," Eilish said. Grammy Awards 2021: Billie Eilish Makes History After Winning for Unreleased James Bond Theme Song in No Time To Die.

Eilish added, "I think about you constantly, I root for you always. You deserve it, honestly, genuinely, this goes to her. Can we just cheer for Megan Thee Stallion, please?"

Eilish concluded her speech, "I really do appreciate this. Thank you to the academy, thank you to Ringo. I love you, I love my team. Thank you for seeing me and thank you to my brother Finneas."
