Country western duo the Brothers Osborne took a Grammy for their song "Younger Me," which TJ Osborne noted in his acceptance speech is about his coming out. It's the first LGBTQ+-themed song to win the prestigious award, Variety noted. "For those of you who do not know, this song was written really in response to me coming out," TJ said, accompanied at the podium by his brother John. "I never thought I would be able to do music professionally because of my sexuality," TJ, who came out just over a year ago, said. "And I certainly never thought I would be here on this stage accepting a Grammy after having done something I felt like was going to be life-changing, potentially in a very negative way," he added. "And here I am tonight, not only accepting this Grammy award with my brother, who I love so much," TJ continued. John returned his brother's sentiments, saying, "I want to thank my little brother for always being great." "This is a song called 'Younger Me,' and I think if I want to thank somebody I want to thank my younger self for just pursuing this," John added. "We all have a younger self in us — thank them because they got you here and take care of that person." The Brothers Osborne took the Grammy in the country duo/group performance category, Variety detailed. Other songs with LGBTQ+ topics have won the Country Music Association Awards in the past, including five wins for the Brothers Osborne themselves. The duo have also won half a dozen Academy of Country Music awards, according to Variety.⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork⁠ ?️‍?????❤️⁠ ?️: Kilian Melloy / @dragelruairi ⁠ ?: AP
