Machine Gun Kelly shared an emotional and vulnerable moment on the red carpet at the Grammys.
MGK opened up about some of the feelings he has felt during his career with Laverne Cox.
He said, "I'm always pretty uncomfortable here. Ultimately, I'm really happy to be in the company of such great musicians. I didn't take the category home, and I almost feel like I asked for that lesson. I felt like I lacked self-love and was valuing myself so much on career accomplishments that I needed this. Once that self-love happens for me, things like the awards and all that will come."
Cox responded, "The reward is actually getting to be an artist and getting to do the thing that you love. There's nothing outside of us that can make us love ourselves more, it has to come from inside."
Many people online have expressed how great Laverne Cox handled this situation and appreciated Cox showing MGK so much grace. I personally appreciated this vulnerable moment from the two of them. That's not the typical conversation at these events and it was lovely to hear an artist offer so much self-reflection and vulnerability after a loss. Much respect to MGK for being so vulnerable.
