The energy in the venue was completely different from the disaster that was the Grammys—now known by everyone as the Scammys. After Billie was robbed of Album of the Year despite having 30% more votes than Cowboy Carter, the outrage had been loud. But tonight? Tonight was different.

The presenter opened the envelope, smiling wide. "And the iHeartRadio Award for Album of the Year goes to… Hit Me Hard and Soft by Billie Eilish!"

The crowd erupted. You shot up from your seat, cheering as Billie’s eyes widened in shock before she let out a breath and smirked. She hugged Finneas, adjusted her jacket, and made her way to the stage, the applause deafening.

Taking the mic, she shook her head, grinning. "Wow… finally," she said, rolling her eyes playfully. "Thank you, iHeart, for actually listening to the fans. Y'all let the people decide—not some weird industry bullshit." The crowd lost it.

She lifted the trophy. "To everyone who loved this album, who felt this album—this is for you." A brief pause, then a playful smirk. "Guess I'll see y'all at the real award shows."

Mic drop. The redemption she deserved. Finally, moments later, she began to sing one of the songs from the album. Wildflower.
