She went on: ‘You’ve done this, with authenticity, with grace, with raw talent, and you’ve managed to shine in every room you enter. And I’ll always love you.’
‘This moment is absolutely beautiful,’ said Chloe Bailey, who at 22 is the older member of the musical act.
‘And even though we don’t do what we do for awards, this is definitely a “pinch me” moment. First, we want to thank God, because without Him, none of this would be possible, at all,’ noted the Atlanta native.

‘Let us tell you a little bit of our story. We’ve worked really hard for a really long time before anybody knew us. It’s true, blood, sweat and many, many tears,’ she dished.
‘Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good, it’s the thing you do that makes you good. Our mom and dad knew that,’ added the former teen star.
‘We don’t do this alone. None of this happens without family. They are our foundation,’ Halle said graciously.

She added: ‘So, we just want to say, thank you Beyonce, for being you and for believing in the power of lifting up the young. We love you.’
