In their acceptance speech, band member Bruno Mars expressed gratitude to the album’s contributors, while co-writer Dernst Emile dedicated the honor to his recently departed mother. Meanwhile, Anderson. said while accepting Record of the Year, “We are really trying our hardest to remain humble at this point, but in the industry we call that a clean sweep.” He further said, “So all the other nominees, you all know we love y’all. We love y’all. Drinks is on Silk Sonic tonight. We getting drunk. I know a lot of y’all fans might be upset, so we’re gonna get out of here before the Internet get to talking.”
However, Mars, who was standing in the backdrop, was even more reserved. As Anderson talked, he laughed and clapped. Then he removed a cigarette from his pocket, cupped it in his fingers, and placed it on the stage of the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
