She said: "I won a Grammy baby!!!

"This has been such an incredible, surreal and beautiful moment for me.

"I want to thank you all for all the love, patience and support you've shown me.

The rising British pop star delivered a powerful performance of the award-winning song during the ceremony with an intimate version of the track, seated at a piano in a red tartan outfit.

The performance comes after she announced in September last year that she would be "going away for a while" and cancelled her tour dates after she collapsed on stage during a New York concert.

In a post on Instagram in December, Young said she would "gradually" return to performing and "pursuing" her dreams in 2026.
