Cosmopolitan US|Spring 2024
Monét fans are having a thrilling 2024. Almost perfect, really, thanks to the artist's seven Grammy nominations, including Best R&B Song, Best R&B Album, and Best R&B Performance.

But not entirely perfect because of that Best New Artist one that might not sit right. It feels frustratingly close to another recent incident, when MTV allegedly told Victoria's team that it was "too early in her story" for Victoria to perform at the 2023 VMAs.

"I try not to take it personally," says Victoria, in a speaking voice that could rival your favorite guided meditation despite this tricky topic. "Someone who doesn't have the full scope of this story might think, It's too early. But people who are in the know know the songwriting. They know the girl group I was in in 2009. They know I was an independent artist, supporting myself financially on tours. I had to wait for this big moment, and when I say 'wait,' I don't mean sitting on my hands-I had to climb up a hill for a really long time. It's giving Mount Everest."
