Laufey performed her song "From the Start" at the awards ceremony, which was a mix of jazz and pop music. The performance was met with rave reviews from fans and the media alike.
Speaking to reporters after her win, Laufey said, "I'm over the moon. I can't believe it. This is a dream come true for me." She added that she was inspired by her grandfather, Chinese violinist and educator Lin Yaoji, who passed away in 2001.

However, the night wasn't without controversy. Some Weibo users criticized the choice of winners, particularly in the R&B category. One user wrote: "I'm confused by the R&B category. None of those songs fit the genre."
Other awards presented at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards included Best R&B Song, which went to SZA for "Snooze," and Best R&B Album, which went to Victoria Monét for "JAGUAR II."
Overall, the 66th Annual Grammy Awards was a night to remember for Laufey, who made history with her win. Fans and Weibo netizens alike are excited to see what the future holds for this talented artist.
