Sheeran also won the Best Pop Performance for “Thinking Out Loud” during the pre-telecast ceremony Monday afternoon. The award was announced by Stevie Wonder, who read the winner’s name from a sheet printed in braille.

Before calling out Sheeran’s name, Wonder laughed and crowed to others on stage, “You can’t read it, you can’t read braille.”

As the audience laughed and then applauded, he went on to use the moment to declare, “We need to make every single thing accessible to every single person with a disability.”

Sheeran made his way onto the stage but not before getting a huge hug from close friend and fellow nominee, Taylor Swift. 

During his acceptance speech, Sheeran thanked his parents and quoted them by saying he finally won one, and they won’t have to say “maybe next year” this time.
