The legendary Stevie Wonder performed at the Grammy Awards earlier today, and was also on hand to present in the Song Of The Year category, during which he took the time to completely slay with a joke about braille.
Presenting alongside a cappella group Pentatonix, he opened the envelope, and then laughed: “Pop it open. Damn. OK, so, all you can’t read this, huh? You can’t read and you can’t read braille!”
He then got serious for a second, telling the audience:
“I just have to say before saying the winner that we need to make every single thing accessible to every single person with a disability.”

Ed Sheeran won the award for ‘Thinking Out Loud‘, and thanked Wonder in his acceptance speech, saying:
“Honestly, if you would have told my 11-year-old, 5-year-old, any age [self] that I was going to receive an award from Stevie Wonder I would have been touched.”
