Lady Gaga praised Ariana Grande in a heartfelt acceptance speech at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards [1], and it suddenly feels as though it's raining on our cheeks. While wearing her second otherworldly outfit of the evening [2], the singer accepted the best collaboration award for her Chromatica [3] song with Ariana, "Rain on Me".
"We turned our tears . . . into diamonds."
"This means the world. Ariana and I really connected through this song," Gaga said. "Me and Ariana are truly soul sisters. Girl, this is for us. We've both been through some sh*t together, but we were willing to share that with each other, and Ari, I love you. I feel like when we were both in the studio, we turned our tears, that felt like endless rainfall, into diamonds. I will treasure those diamonds with you forever, honey." Watch the sweet speech ahead.
