Last night, at the 67th Grammy Award Ceremony, British star Charli XCX took home not just one but three Grammys. The ‘Brat’ artist was one of the night’s most-nominated artists, earning seven nominations in total. She was also nominated in two of the “Big Four” categories, including Album of The Year and Record of The Year.
The Cambridge-born performer won for Best Dance/Electronic Album for her acclaimed club album Brat, Best Dance/Pop Song for the album’s lead single ‘Von Dutch’ and Best Recording Album Package. The prizes were amongst the first awards handed out at the Grammy’s Premiere Ceremony which precedes the main event of the night.
Charli’s collaborator Finn Keane took to the stage to thank the singer for being “an amazing collaborator” and how thankful they all are that the world is finally catching up to what the Cambridgeshire-songwriter can do.
The ‘Apple’ performer took the celebration to her Instagram to thank her fans, stating she hopes she made them proud as she shared a carousel of pictures from the ceremony including her red carpet look, snapshots alongside fiancé George Daniels and close friend Troye Sivan and most importantly, her reaction to winning Best Dance/Pop Song for ‘Von Dutch’.

Having been nominated seven times, the 32-year-old songstress became the Recording Academy’s second-most nominated artist as well as a member of the seven-nods club this year, alongside artists such as Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish. In conversation with W Magazine, the artist opened up about how the Academy’s recognition of her work came as a surprise. Charli said: “My vibe is just wanting to have a good time. Let’s be real, I wasn’t even on the Grammys’ radar last year, so it’s not something I ever expected. The thing is, wherever I am becomes fun anyway, so I’m sure I’ll figure it out.”

The now Grammy-winning singer delivered the final performance of the night with ‘Von Dutch’ and ‘Guess’. She threw a very fitting party on stage accompanied by friends The Dare, Alex Consani, Gabriette and Julia Fox. Her performance started outside of the Crypto.com Arena and followed XCX strutting inside the venue joined by an entourage of partygoers recreating a club scene. In the back, a note on-screen read: “All unworn garments featured in Charli XCX’s #GRAMMYs performance will be donated to domestic violence survivors.”. The performance was praised by many and fans were amazed by the number thrown by Charli.
