Janelle Monae found out she was nominated for a Grammy live on TV and her reaction was adorable.
Anyone who says they havent been bopping to Dirty Computer since April is lying.
Speaking to CBS This Morning, Janelle looked stunned as the presenter told her she was up for the Album Of The Year award for her third album Dirty Computer.
Oh my god, really? she asked, tearing up.
Speaking about the album, Janelle said: This album is so much bigger than me…Its not about me, its about a community of dirty computers, of marginalised voices.

Being a young, black, queer woman in America, there was something I had to say and there was a group of people that I wanted to celebrate.

And I just – Im happy to be representing them. I hope they feel seen, I hope they feel heard and I hope they feel loved.
Summing up her feelings in a tweet, she posted a string of crying emojis.
Girl, we feel you.
It was also announced that the music video for her song Pynk is up for Best Music Video.
She later added: Can we discuss all these amazing WOMEN nominated tho ?
Fans are as hyped as she is.
Congratulations to the GOAT! one tweeted. You are an example why representation matters & why everyone deserves their own seat at the table.
Another gushed: The “omg really” gave me chills. Yes really!! For far too long you have been super underrated, I think this album really opened up the door for you! Iconic in every way. You deserve it and I hope you get the win.
One fan reasoned: Cant make an album like that and expect no press Ms. Monae.
Valid points all round.
