Beyoncé surprised many when the private singer publicly acknowledged her husband Jay-Z during her acceptance speech at the Grammys. “I’d love to thank my family for all of their support, including my husband. I love you,” she said during Sunday’s show.

B explained the candid moment to “Access Hollywood.” “It was because I was so happy. I looked up and he was the first face I saw, and I was like, ‘What did I just do?'” she laughed.

And what did Jay tell his Grammy-winning wife? “He said you have six Grammys and you smell good.”
