His work fetched him Grammy Awards for the year 2023 in two categories: Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for 2023. These two awards are a part of many honors that Harry has been conferred with.
While Styles's fans were excited over his wins during the Grammys, the singer in an earlier interview with Variety, shared a disclaimer that he does not concur with the existence of "Best Music" and the way people categorize art. To know more about what he said after his win at the Grammys, do read further.
According to him, artists in the creative space rarely do an album expecting to win a "Best Music" award. Most musicians and lyricists create from the heart, inspired by personal stories and emotions. The point is that more often than not, the main idea of creating the music is to express what is experienced. According to Styles, the work should only be called a success if it bonds with the listeners on a deeper level. He added that music is about connection, not competition; the shared feelings between artist and audience make a song or album a hit.
"A lot of times in my life, I have listened to many artists in this category when I'm alone. I think on nights like tonight, it's important to remember that there is no such thing as 'best' in music," he concluded.
