Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX Make Grammy History with Early Wins

Sabrina Carpenter's summer anthem "Espresso" and Charli XCX's club album "Brat" shine at the early Grammy Awards, honoring resilience amid adversity.


In an electrifying start to the 2025 Grammy Awards, Sabrina Carpenter secured her first Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance with her captivating hit “Espresso.” The British pop icon Charli XCX also celebrated her first Grammy triumphs, winning Best Dance/Pop Album for her critically acclaimed album “Brat” and Best Dance/Pop Song for its infectious lead single "Von Dutch."

As awards were presented during the premiere ceremony before the main event in Los Angeles, the spotlight was shone not only on musical talent but also on the community's resilience in the face of disasters. The ceremony commenced with a heartfelt tribute performance of Simon & Garfunkel's “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” featuring Yolanda Adams and Angelique Kidjo, dedicated to the brave first responders battling the recent devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.

Grammy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. addressed the audience, emphasizing the ceremony's mission to celebrate music as a source of inspiration and healing. As communities endure hardships, he expressed gratitude for first responders, highlighting their indispensable role in safeguarding lives during the blaze.

Beyoncé leads the nominations this year, with her poignant album "Cowboy Carter" up for an impressive 11 categories, including Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group for her collaboration with Miley Cyrus. However, it was Kacey Musgraves who clinched the award for Best Country Song with "The Architect," a reflection on profound societal issues. Musgraves remarked on the significance of using music to combat darkness and adversity.

As the night unfolds, speculation swirls regarding potential wins for Carpenter and Charli XCX in the highly coveted Album of the Year category, with both artists also in the running. Although they were not present in-person to collect their initial awards, Charli XCX's producer proudly accepted her award, praising her influential artistry and perseverance in a competitive industry.

The excitement builds as the main event approaches, and the music community comes together to celebrate both artistry and resilience amid challenges that shape our world.
