BONNIE RAITT Wins Song Of The Year For “JUST LIKE THAT” | 2023 GRAMMYs Acceptance Speech

[@asdfmatt81]

Seeing an artist win Song of the Year without having a ton of other writers alongside of them is so pure, congrats Bonnie!

[@xHuntedGunzPCGx]

Can multiple writers not put in the same heart and soul as one person?

[@asdfmatt81]

@@xHuntedGunzPCGx They definitely can! That being said, in my opinion, it’s difficult for groups of people to encapsulate personal experiences with the same level of emotion. For example... take Hurricane Katrina. A person or group of people from New Orleans that lived through the catastrophe would likely be able to write a more impactful song regarding the devastation compared to a group of people on the outside looking in. However, that doesn’t mean that a collection of writers from various walks of life can’t create powerful lyrics as well!

Bonnie is a legend. Shes been grinding since the 70s.

[@riantorres]

I do not know of her but my god to see an older artist win this melts my heart 🥰 i teared up at her reaction. she is beautiful and seems beautiful inside as well.

[@dukepena7473]

I listened Bonnie Raitt when I was in high school (80s) in Peru ... Her voice was always so beautiful and never changed her tone until these days. Now in these days when you listen Harry Styles...Bad Bunny...Taylor Swift...Wekend ...Billy Eilish... Bonnie Raitt break the time..her music ...her age...her perseverance and her humbleness....SHE WELL DESERVED THE GRAMMY...Go Bonnie Raitt!!!

[@racourdav]

Congratulations Bonnie! You’re national treasure and that song is absolutely beautiful! So so deserving

[@officeboy89]

I am absolutely shocked that someone with that amazing talent actually won a Grammy in 2023!!!!!

[@riharimatthews3337]

She deserves this award. I’d be shooketh too it was unexpected, she didn’t even know herself. Now let’s give these people “something to talk about” 😂😉👏🏽

[@ybeerz]

Thank you Grammys for rightfully giving this song an award, I had heard all the other songs, and I thought other song was gonna win... Since this song won, I had to search it and listen to it and it truly is deserving... Same thing happened when Kacey Musgraves won album of the year like 3 years ago and nobody saw it coming... Glad she won, otherwise I wouldn't have listened to that wonderful album.

[@susanbarnes9800]

Younger people don't know her 🤣 She's been a legend for a long time. She's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

[@ericmaine]

Of course they don't - unless the 'performer' is flashing their t*ts or shaking their a**- they won't know or care about her.

[@ladjei19]

It’s amazing when winners get surprised… OMG don’t know her but just fell in love with her genuine reaction

[@pedrofernando2494]

This restores so much faith back into the Artists writing and baring their soul about life situations that can affect anyone in life ...deserving .. Bonnie has paid her dues ..her speech brings you to tears because it's pure sincerity and appreciation ..I salute Bonnie and thee Academy that songs of pure value like this are not passed up or overlooked ..this Lifesong winning is dignified ...much love to Bonnie for her beautiful vocals 🏆👑❤️🎙️🙏

[@tribalbassist5227]

Well done Bonnie Raitt. A true legend. I love Beyoncé too so don’t gripe about her not winning. Bonnie has a depth and breadth to her career that makes her worthy of this award. Beyoncé is going to be the same one day.

[@skygazer6898]

Beyonce has won enough awards to decorate her living room walls. She wont mind she has missed out to Bonnie as she is a gracious lady

[@anisanurraudah8383]

No one grieve about beyonce not winning SOTY lol. That woman is anything but a songwriter. We all mad that Taylor got ROBBED.

[@Patrick3183]

Lmao Beyonce is trash

[@hopefulromantic.]

@@anisanurraudah8383 literally stfu, i love taylor but i tried to listen to her song and now i can't be mad

[@DS77831]

Bouncee will never be like Bonnie. She can’t play or sing the BluES, she have not played with many of the greats of blues and Rock n roll.

[@jisoonongsiej2599]

It's actually a breath of fresh air for a non pop artist won the Song Of The Year❤️❤️❤️❤️love you Bonnie

[@strykertool]

Huh? Look at the history of the winners of this award. Not all of them were pop music.

[@mikeycbaby]

She was “popular” for many years

[@kerrgal]

@@mikeycbaby After many years of *not* being popular.

[@angelfishluva291]

I could watch her reaction all day. The stunned silence, then applause. Good for her, she deserves it!!!

[@gunterzeninja4114]

I'd never hear of her before and was confused like many other gen z. I just listened to her song, and it made me cry. Such a beautiful song

[@patriciagilson8255]

Keep listening to more. She's a legend with an amzaing catalog

[@jackzee855]

You should listen to more.

[@KPG113]

The Grammys aren’t a popularity contest, y’all. Go with the VMAs for that. Very deserved award. Beautiful song. THIS is music.

[@maureenoflaherty7376]

I've played this clip over & over just to watch her humble surprise again & again.. Bonnie Raitt has always been a lovely, talented class act. Her song is simply beautiful.

[@marcus-7866]

It’s been so many years since I’ve heard a song that has moved me to tears. This song absolutely broke my heart 😢

[@wln8888]

My queen ; this woman is magic; her voice has the power to heal and comfort the deepest sadness. One of my favorite artist of all time.

[@Frecklefiend]

As someone who grew up listening to bonnie on car rides with my parents, this just made me so happy. Truly, truly deserved. This song is not only amazing and very touching, it has the air of a true classic. Timeless.

[@1decroy]

Bonnie Raitt, like very few others, has the ability to reduce me to a tearful mess and thankful there are folks like her who create and deliver such wonderful work.

[@Dunkakino]

Good news: No fandoms will be fighting

[@barbarascotto3873]

True talent FINALLY won!!!!!! YES!!!!!!

[@pittsburghsarah7008]

Exactly who should have won. A real singer with no autotune bullshit. A real songwriter.

[@sophiefischer8110]

I had go onto my Spotify and see if I knew any of her songs .. I realized I have a lot of her songs saved! Love to see older generation keep up with the new generation. She writes beautiful music well deserved.

[@InspirationforKids]

I'm glad she won. People should realise the best song is about the song, the message of the song, and all that a song represents. It's not who sang it or who produced it.

[@makcikbawang798]

Dont attack her guys she seems a really nice person its grammys fault,even she was shock 💀💀💀

[@haveahappyday1749]

Good for her ❤️ I love it!!Now that's how you accept an award......truly humbled..

[@rashundaford486]

Let's give em something to talk about! Congratulations Ms. Bonnie Raitt❤

[@jjjjr51]

I listened to the song this morning for the first time and cried. I haven't felt that kind of emotion from a song ever. Well done Bonnie!

[@dominicnouvier8740]

Very good and well deserved. We should remember that the grammys are supposed to reward quality, not popularity, that's what the billboard awards are for.

[@thomas3891]

I can’t believe there are actually people who had never heard of her before.

Taylor looked so happy for her despite losing to her. Women supporting women✨ Taylor supports everybody I love her sm

[@davidyale75]

Taylor apparently ran backstage to congratulate Bonnie who was, no doubt, influential to TS’s growth as a musician.

[@wayneheyward900]

Now that she mentions him, I could so hear John Prine singing that song. Such a beautiful tribute to him and to donors.

[@onelowflyer]

BONNIE RAITT, Writer, Composer, Musician, Artist, and a Humble Lady. I met her once at the Clt. Airport. She was sitting on the floor talking on the pay phone(before cell phones). As she started to get up I reach down and helped her. She is as beautiful now as she was then. A moment I will never forget. Always loved her music.

[@wandamundy1759]

A REAL song - with REAL lyrics - by a REAL singer, REAL musician - no gimmickry. Just love her - ever since I first heard her in 1963 ("Give It Up Or Let Me Go).

[@lindahuff8976]

So glad she mentioned John Prine the greatest songwriter ever. Saw them live many times as well as individually. The Grammy's finally got it right for the first time in years.

[@lindahuff8976]

@VVgver HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@OtisMom11]

So happy for Bonnie. Now a proud recipient of 13 Grammy Awards. If you don’t know her, check her out. Chances are you’ve heard a number of her songs and just didn’t know it was her. My 30 something kids know her, but maybe due to their mom being a big fan of this fabulous artist. She’s a heck of a great guitarist as well as a singer.

[@sifender56]

A proper musician recognised for her talent and art...more of this please!!!

[@KC80009]

She’s always been such a class act. Congrats Miss Bonnie!!

[@celifacejones]

People forget that music is about storytelling. That song is fkn HEARTBREAKING. It's beautifully written and sung. Awards shouldn't be a popularity contest.
