Elton John and Bernie Taupin have been writing music together for decades, and they finally took the stage to share an award together at the Golden Globes. The songwriting duo scored the best original song award for “I’m Gonna Love Me Again”, featured in Elton John biopic Rocketman
When they took the stage to accept the award, John said this win is extremely important to them because it’s the first they’ve ever received together, and Taupin echoed his statement.
“This is really sweet because this is not just about a song we wrote for a movie. It’s about a song we wrote for a movie that deals with our relationship. And it’s a relationship that doesn’t happen very often in this town: It’s a 52-year-old marriage,” said Elton John’s long-time songwriting partner.
What makes their victory even more impressive is that they had to beat pretty tough competition to score this win. The list of nominees also included Taylor Swift and Andrew Lloyd Webber who co-wrote Cats tune “Beautiful Ghosts”, and The Lion King track “Spirit” written by Beyoncé, Ilya, and Labrinth.
