Petras said, "I just want to thank all the incredible transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open before me so I could be here tonight. SOPHIE, my friend who passed away two years ago, who told me this would happen and always believed in me: Thank you so much for your inspiration, SOPHIE. I adore you, and your inspiration will forever be in my music."
Petras also gave a shout out to Madonna, saying, "Madonna for fighting for LGBTQ rights ... I don't think I could be here without Madonna."
