In the event, the combined forces of Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter denied him a single Moon Man trophy – but the singer left with something much more valuable.

"I didn't realise until a couple of weeks later, but my partner and I conceived that night," he beams.

"We're due in June and things are great. I think we're gonna crush it."

Domestic bliss isn't a quality that fans might associate with Teddy Swims.
