ANNOUNCER: Congratulations to Elle King, who shocked the competition with a leading three nominations in the rock categories!
Her incredible season was nearly one for the record books when she came deliciously close to becoming to first tennis player since 1988 to win the Grand Slam. So who better to unveil the nominees for Record of the Year? Get on your feet for Serena Williams!
SERENA: Three black men and Taylor Swift. No, that’s not the setup for her wildest sex dreams, but rather a hint at our category this year. Before I get to the nominees, though, I just have something to say: **** you, Roberta Vinci. If you’re going to beat me when I’m two steps from history, at least win the goddamn final so I don’t look like as much of a fool. You better watch yourself, bitch, because I’m coming for you now.
