Attendees could record a gif of themselves performing Elliott’s “The Rain” while virtually wearing the trash bag she wore in the video. Scott-Young said about the evening:Â
“We wanted to celebrate Missy, and honor her success and contributions to the culture, so where better to do that than a place inspired by her genius and creativity. Words can’t express how proud I am of Missy. She is an icon and truly deserves to be celebrated.”
