Megan Thee Stallion just won her first Grammy and made history along the way! Ahead of the official show, the 26-year-old rapper took home the award for best rap performance for her hit "Savage [2]" with Beyoncé during Sunday's premiere ceremony. Not only does that make her an official Grammy winner, but it also marks the first time in history that an all-female collaboration has won the category.
Naturally, Megan could not contain her excitement [3] over the major milestone. "Thank you, Lord. God is the first person that I want to thank," Megan said in her speech. "I just still can't even believe this . . . just thank everybody who just is rocking with me and been riding with me for a long time. I love y'all so much. Thank you for just believing in me." Shortly after, Megan tweeted, "AHHHHHHHJHGJDKNBOOM," with a bunch of crying face emoji. She also thanked her fans, adding, "Love you hotties."
