“Well, I was going to bed in Perth, Australia,” Clark said. “It was seven in the morning, and my mom texted me and said, “Annie won!” It was a group text, she wasn’t referring to me in the third person.”

She continued: “It’s all such a surprise, really. All you can do ever is to make the things that you like and believe in, and put it out in the world so people can react to it, and then it can weave its way into the fabric of their lives if it matters. I feel incredibly lucky that that happened with this record.”

Asked what she was going to do with the award, Clark replied: “Well, I think I’m putting the Grammy on a gold chain and I’m just gonna wear it around, hoping I can upgrade my airplane seat because of it. If I can squirrel my way into first class.”
