Laverne Cox Comments on Her Machine Gun Kelly Interview at Grammys 2023, Explains Why She Was Caught Off Guard
Machine Gun Kelly gave a very vulnerable interview on the red carpet at the Grammys and host Laverne Cox is explaining why she was so caught off guard.
The 32-year-old entertainer was nominated for Best Rock Album, but lost to Ozzy Osbourne at the 2023 Grammy Awards on Sunday (February 5) at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
“Ultimately, I’m really happy to be in the company of such great musicians,” he said on E! News. “I didn’t take the category home, and I almost feel like I asked for that lesson. I felt like I lacked self-love and was valuing myself so much on career accomplishments that I needed this. Once that self-love happens for me, things like the awards and all that will come.”
Laverne responded to him, “The reward is actually getting to be an artist, and getting to do the thing that you love.”
Now, Laverne is reflecting on that interview.

Laverne wrote on Instagram, “his interview caught me off guard in the most beautiful way yesterday. To witness someone being willing to process in real time, letting go of external validation as a way of getting closer to true self love. The realness. The rawness, the vulnerability!!!! I live for this shit. This is courage. This willingness to grapple with and tell the truth as that truth is being discovered in real time. Absolutely!! I loved all the amazing artists I interviewed yesterday but @machinegunkelly werk it the F OUT!!! And @meganfox I don’t know you. I know nothing about your relationship. It’s none of my business. But the way you stood off camera nodding and supporting, that felt like real love to me. I am just so moved by all of it and feel so privileged to have experienced that energy up close. Thank you MGK and Megan. Just beautiful.”
