Oh, yeah, and Machine Gun Kelly also won for his song, “My Ex’s Best Friend”:
“Shout out to the EMO kids for bringing it all back,” MGK said in his speech. “I wanna thank Slim and Rook and Base for starting this song on a tour bus with me years ago and Travis Barker for pushing me to make this song what it was. I also want to thank my label for putting it out when I called them the day before it was supported to be released and I was like ‘I hate it don’t put it out.’ Thank you for not listening to me, I love this song.”
For MGK, also known as Colson Baker, who released his most recent album, Tickets to My Downfall, in 2020, the past few years have been tumultuous and successful. It is rumored that his next album, Born With Horns, which the artist made in collaboration with drummer and producer, Travis Barker, is set to drop later this year.
