Thanks to a streamlined setup following COVID safety protocols, Moore found the award show experience simple — mostly because she wasn’t apart from 3-month-old August “Gus” Harrison for too long.
“He did not tag along, but it was actually quite easy. Award shows nowadays look quite different, so I think I was gone for a total of an hour and a half,” she tells PEOPLE while discussing herrecent blonde hair transformationusing Garnier Nutrisse. “I left the house, I went and presented, I took a few pictures, and I got right back in the car and was home in time to feed him and put him to bed.”
“That is kind of ideal. I hope that that’s how award shows can be moving forward. It was perfect,” adds Moore. “I got a little dose of the outside world and real life again, but then got to go home to the most important thing.”

“It’s strange, but honestly I prefer it this way,” the new mom says of the pandemic protocols at the Hollywood events. “I was just telling folks today, I showed up and I think there were two photographers. There was none of the crazy mayhem that usually awaits you at regular [red carpets]. Things are a lot more contained and feel more manageable and way less overwhelming in that sense. It feels a bit more organized.”
Moore went full glam for the evening, but she also kept it real about her eagerness to get back home to husbandTaylor Goldsmithand their son.
After the awards show, she joked on her Instagram Story that while “being out in the world for a brief moment was lovely,” she was “ready to crawl back in [her] bubble” and her “boobs [were] about to explode.”
Navigating new parenthood, the singer says she’s looking forward to being there for Gus' many milestones.
“So much is revolving around my family, kind of always has, but obviously there’s way more significance now being a mom. I’m just looking forward to all of the firsts that await us,” says Moore. “We’re going to do a fair amount of traveling and taking Gus to see his dad play music for the first time, and hopefully see me play some music at some point too in the next couple months.”
