Raye broke records at Saturday night’s BRIT Awards, winning six gongs during a star-studded ceremony at London’s O2 arena.
The singer-songwriter, 26, took home the night’s biggest awards, including Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year.
She was crying her eyes out over her incredible feat and in one touching moment, she even brought her beloved grandmother on stage.
The star now holds the record for the most BRITs won in a single ceremony, a record that was previously four, held jointly by Blur (1995), Adele (2016) and Harry Styles (2023).
Raye had been nominated eight times (the most ever by a single artist in one year), including two nominations for song of the year, for Escapism, which won the title, and Prada.
On a night dominated by the winners, who won gongs in all but four categories, Dua Lipa won best pop act, while Kylie Minogue took home the global icon award.
The only men to receive praise were Calvin Harris for his dance act; Sheffield quartet Bring Me The Horizon in the alternative rock category; Casidead for best hip-hop, grime or rap act; and the Jungle duo as group of the year.
While across the pond, Miley Cyrus, SZA and Boygenius won awards for International Song, International Artist and International Group.
