Keys wrote her first song at 11 years old. Then in 2002, she won song of the year for "Falling." She told CBS the moment she accepted the award on stage felt "like the best dream you could have ever dreamed of."

About this year's performances, which include Janelle Monae, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Miley Cyrus, Cardi B and Post Malone, Keys said it feels like "kind of the sickest year" yet.
