An old social media post of Rayeβs has got people feeling a lot of emotions following her Brit Awards victory over the weekend.
The chart-topping singer made Brits history when she scooped six awards on Saturday night, the most of any artist in a single ceremony.
But itβs fair to say that Rayeβs road to the Brits was a particularly long and arduous one, after she famously pleaded with her old record label to allow her to record her debut album back in 2021.
She was eventually released from her contract months later, only to wind up topping both the UK singles and album charts when she was finally allowed to release her first collection, and picked up awards including Best British Album, Best British Song and Best British Artist at the 2024 Brits.
Following her win, an old post of Rayeβs from 2020 on X (then known as Twitter) began doing the rounds, in which she wrote: βSince I was 14 years old, I have dreamed of winning a Brit award.

As well as Rayeβs six wins, this yearβs Brit Awards champions also included Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa, as well as International Acts SZA, Boygenius and Miley Cyrus, while Kylie Minogue was awarded the Global Icon Award.
