Κατά την αποδοχή του βραβείου για καλύτερο τραγούδι η Adele απολογήθηκε για το ξέσπασμά της κατά το tribute στον George Michael και ευχαρίστησε τον Greg Kurstin, με τον οποίο έγραψε το «Hello». Όταν ξανανέβηκε στη σκηνή για το βραβείο του δίσκου της χρονιάς, δήλωσε ότι αγαπά τον manager της όπως δεν αγαπά τον πατέρα της, ενώ σχολίασε ότι δεν μπορεί να αποδεχτεί το βραβείο, καθώς πρέπει να πάει στην Beyoncé για το «Lemonade».
