“I just keep thinking back to when you’re in second grade and you sing at your talent show for the first time and people joke around and say: ‘Maybe we’ll see you at the Grammys someday,’ and that just feels like an impossible dream,” Swift said. “I just feel like I’m standing here accepting an impossible dream and I thank you so much for that.”
