Chinese-Icelandic singer Laufey has made history by winning the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. The artist, whose real name is Lau Alsing, won the award for her album "Bewitched."
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.
Laufey's win has generated much excitement among Weibo netizens, many of whom have praised her talent and stage presence. One user wrote: "I'm so proud of Laufey. She is such a talented and hardworking artist. She deserves this award."
Other notable performances at the awards ceremony included SZA, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus, and Dua Lipa.
One of the highlights of the night was the red carpet arrivals, where stars such as Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey were spotted together. Swift wore a white dress with a thigh-high split, while Del Rey opted for a black gown with a plunging neckline.
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.
