GRAMMYS viewers were left in stitches after Lola Young accidentally said the F-word in their acceptance speech.
The British singer, who brought Bad Bunny and other Grammy Awards attendees to tears with her Best New Artist performance, won for Best Pop Solo Performance for their hit single Messy.
Lola, 25, took the stage to accept the award and deliver her speech to a packed audience of her peers, including Justin and Hailey Bieber, Jelly Roll, Chappell Roan, and more.
Many fans believed the musician, who goes by they/them pronouns, would win Best New Artist, but they were edged out by Olivia Dean, who accepted the award from The Subway singer.
It quickly became clear to Grammy Awards viewers that Lola – who performed early in the show due to a change in format – hadn’t expected to win, and did not prepare a speech.
They went off the cuff, and in her nervousness and excitement they let the F-word slip.
CBS’ censors, typically on a delay to prevent these mishaps, bleeped her too early and missed the actual curse word.
“I don’t know what to say. Thank you so much,” Lola began, smiling while holding her statue.
The bleeping began as they continued speaking, cutting off just as they said, “f**king.”
They immediately began waving her hands, apologizing profusely.
“Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!” they yelled into the camera.
