Appearing at a late-night celebration, Tsai admitted to feeling tired but humbly described the awards as "adding flowers to the brocade." She stated that completing this album represented her most important personal milestone, marking a journey from self-doubt to accomplishment. She was particularly surprised to learn from jury chair Huang Yun-ling that she secured the Best Mandarin Female Singer award in the first round of voting.

Looking ahead, she is actively composing new music, aiming for a "zero-based" mindset with each new song following her win.

I forgot, because when I went on stage, there was a very strange feeling, and I instantly forgot.

Regarding her ongoing "Pleasure" world tour, Tsai confirmed that plans are underway for it to return to Taiwan, with fans eagerly anticipating a potential performance at the Taipei Dome. She also found the host A-Lin's dramatic entrance on a giant python prop to be "cute."

I actually feel that with me standing in front, everyone is willing to believe in me, and that is very moving to me. I am not doing this alone; everyone is pushing the work towards the audience together.

โ€” Jolin TsaiExpressing gratitude to her team and collaborators.
