The story behind the answer

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis had the 2013 hit “Same Love,” featuring Mary Lambert. The song was released as a single in 2012 from their debut album, The Heist, but became a major international hit during 2013.

“Same Love” reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped charts in Australia and New Zealand. It was also performed at the 2014 Grammy Awards, where Queen Latifah officiated 33 couples during the performance.
