The Grammys have always been an iconic event for the music industry to celebrate all the amazing artists from the previous year. The honor of winning Record of the Year is the most propionate award that an artist can win at the Grammys. The honor has been won by many amazing artists like Michael Jackson, Whitney Huston, Celine Dion, and Adele just to name a few. This year the nominees for Record of the Year were quite well known: D'Angelo and The Vanguard, Ed Sheeran, Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and The Weeknd.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
