“Thank you so much,” Briggs says onstage during her set. “We only have two more songs, so I want whatever I say in this little moment important and hopefully special. But something that is really exciting that I just want to say ‘thanks’ for is — I’m the woman on this lineup. I’m gonna try not to cry.”
However, Briggs later admitted that she couldn’t hold her emotions inside.
