Brandi talked about her Grammys acceptance speech, in which she talked about coming out at a young age.

“I basically just outlined that I came out of the closet when I was 14 years old … because of you,” she said. “I never attended any parties and was never invited to a dance or anything like that. I basically said that to be embraced by such a loving and enduring community was the dance of a lifetime.”

Brandi also performed her song “The Joke” on the show.
