"I'm so grateful that people take my music and do good things with it. It makes them move, it makes them dance, it makes them happy, it makes them feel confidence in themselves."

The 3-time Grammy winner ends her message by saying she doesn't care about the accolades or the numbers because it's the impact that matters most.
