“I was sitting next to her,” Grenon explained, “and for about 10 minutes she kept explaining to everyone in the room why Harry Styles is the number one artist.”

He went on to note, “So, I guess a producer from the Grammys saw that TikTok and emailed me, but we didn’t really know what was going to happen until the last minute.”

For her part, Lafantaisie said she was “stunned” during her onstage exchange with Styles.

“I could not believe it,” she remembered. “And I just hugged him as tight as he hugged me. I just couldn’t believe he was there…. And I kept saying, ‘I just have to keep my composure. I have to keep my composure. Like my knees are getting weaker by the minute.”
