Bonnie Raitt took home the prestigious song of the year prize at the 2023 Grammy Awards.

First Lady Jill Biden presented the award to a flabbergasted Raitt for "Just Like That," which the singer said was inspired by her friend and fellow musician John Prine, who died following a battle with coronavirus in 2020.

"Oh my God," she said as she began her acceptance speech, her shock palpable. "I'm so surprised. I don't know what to say. This is just an unreal moment."

Raitt, 73, thanked the Recording Academy for appreciating "the art of songwriting" and "honoring" her.

"I was so inspired for this song by the incredible story of the love, and the grace, and the generosity of someone that donates their beloved's organs to help another person live," Raitt shared of the inspiration behind the Grammy-winning song. "And this story was so simple and so beautiful for these times. And people have been responding to the song, partly because of how much I love and we all love John Prine, and that was the inspiration for the music for this song, and telling this story from the inside."

She added, "I don't write a lot of songs but I'm so proud that you appreciate this one."
