Alicia Keys is praising John Mayer! During her hosting duties at the 2019 GRAMMY Awards, the 38-year-old singer took the stage to recall one of her fondest GRAMMY memories. In 2005, both Keys and Mayer were up for Song of the Year; Keys for "If I Ain't Got You" and Mayer for "Daughters." When Stevie Wonder walked out to present the award, Keys was sure she had it in the bag. "When my hero, Stevie Wonder, opened up that card and started to read in braille, I just knew he was gonna feel my name. My name," she exclaimed, before the clip of Wonder reading the card began to play, announcing that it was actually Mayer who came out victorious. "I ain't got that GRAMMY," she jokingly sang once the clip ended. She went on to assure her fans that "this story has a really happy ending." "John said, 'I agree, Alicia. This should've been yours,'" she recalled. "And he literally broke the GRAMMY and wrote 'If I Ain't Got You' with my name on it and gave it to me. Like, look at what he did! Look! And this is my half of my GRAMMY. This is my HAMMY!" As Keys finished showing off her half of the GRAMMY -- the gold gramophone -- Mayer, 41, walked onto the stage with his half of the award, the black stand with the plaque featuring his name and song. "This has got to be the coolest joint custody agreement in showbiz history," he quipped, following a sweet hug from Keys. The "New Light" singer went on to put the two pieces of the GRAMMY back together, telling the audience it would remain that way "just for one night only."

She went on to win four R&B awards at the 2005 GRAMMYs, including Song, Vocals, Duo or Group Performance and Album. Meanwhile Mayer won two that year, Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Performance, both for "Daughters." Despite the GRAMMY not being whole anymore, fans can still look back at it in its shining glory, with pics from when Mayer accepted the award about 14 years ago.

The Empire State of Mind hitmaker, 41, has won 15 of the coveted trophies during her career and though she admitted that's 'pretty cool', she was convinced she would scoop Song of the Year in 2005, only for the honour to go to the Gravity hitmaker, 38. However, she revealed her story had a happy ending because John 'literally broke the Grammy' he'd received for Daughters so they could share the honour. Sharing: Alicia Keys, 38, and John Mayer, 41, share 'joint custody' of a Grammy Award Remembering the past: Alicia was set to announce Song of the Year, and began to tell a story of what happened to her when she was nominated in 2005 Speaking on stage at Los Angeles' Staples Centre as she hosted this year's Grammy Awards on Sunday, Alicia said: 'I wanted to share with you a little story. I have been super blessed to win 15 Grammys. Pretty cool, pretty cool. 'And in 2004 I dreamed about winning song of the year for If I Ain't Got You. So, when my hero, Stevie Wonder, opened up that card and started to read in braille, I just knew he was going to feel my name. My name. 'I ain't got that Grammy. But don't worry, it's okay. Because this story has a really happy ending. Because John said, I agree, Alicia, this should have been yours and he literally broke the Grammy and wrote If I ain't got you with my name on it and gave it to me.'

But John stressed: 'Just for one night only.' The pair then announced the winner of this year's Song of the Year, which went to Childish Gambino - the first rapper to take the accolade - for This Is America.<doc-sep>You truly never know what's going to happen at the Grammy Awards. At the 2019 show, the night kicked off with Michelle Obama making an appearance, and the amazing moments just keep coming. When host Alicia Keys and John Mayer joined up on stage to present the award for song of the year, Alicia shared a story about John from many years ago. While a flashback video from the 2005 ceremony played behind her, Alicia reminisced about feeling so sure she was going to win the award for song of the year but ultimately lost out to John. Alicia was nominated for "If I Ain't Got You" and John for "Daughters." While John officially won the Grammy that night, he quickly said he felt Alicia deserved the award and wanted to at least share it with her. So he literally broke the award in half and wrote Alicia's name and song name on her part of it. Alicia took home the top half and John took home the bottom and they brought them back for the 2019 show to unite the pieces for "one night only" as John said. Alicia even calls her half her "Ammy" since it isn't a full Grammy! And while it's not like Alicia is hurting for Grammy wins — she has 15 — John's gesture was still pretty sweet. He officially has eight Grammy wins, though only seven and a half trophies. Check out the video from this year's ceremony below.<doc-sep>
In 2004, John Mayer and Alicia Keys were both up for Song of the Year at the Grammy Awards. He ended up taking home the trophy for “Daughters,” but brought it back on stage at the 2019 ceremony on Sunday, February 10, while Keys hosted. “I wanted to share with you a little story,” the former Voice coach, 38, told the star-studded audience at Staples Center in Los Angeles. “I have been super blessed to win 15 Grammys. Pretty cool, pretty cool. … And in 2004, I dreamed about winning Song of the Year for ‘If I Ain’t Got You.’ So when my hero Stevie Wonder opened up that card and started to read in braille, I just knew he was going to say my name.” After a video of Wonder awarding Mayer, 41, played on the big screen, Keys reworded the lyrics from her nominated tune, singing, “I ain’t got that Grammy.” “But don’t worry, it’s OK, because this story has a really happy ending,” she continued. “Because John said, ‘I agree, Alicia. This should have been yours.’ And he literally broke the Grammy and wrote ‘If I Ain’t Got You’ with my name on it and gave it to me. Like, ‘Look what I did!’ Like, ‘Look!’” The “My Boo” songstress continued to joke about their “Hammy” (half Grammy) as Mayer strutted on stage with his piece, prompting cheers from the crowd. “This has got to be the coolest joint custody agreement in showbiz history,” the “New Light” crooner quipped before putting the two halves together. “Just for one night only.” The duo then presented the 2019 Song of the Year award to Childish Gambino for “This Is America.” Throughout his career, Mayer has won seven Grammys and been nominated for 19, while Keys has taken home 15 of her 29 nominations.
