Raye was the big winner at the Brit Awards, where she swept the major categories.
The London-born star sealed her triumphant sweep of the awards ceremony as her record, My 21st Century Blues, was named album of the year.
She was also named artist of the year, best new artist and R&B act.
She won song of the year for Escapism featuring 070 Shake and was also handed the gong for songwriter of the year – the first woman to get the prize in a pre-announced win.
The singer came into the ceremony with seven nominations, beating the six received in previous years by Craig David, Gorillaz and Robbie Williams. She only lost out on one prize – when Dua Lipa was named best pop act.
Earlier in the evening, Dua Lipa opened the ceremony with a performance of her new hit Training Season.
Sza has won the international artist of the year, while supergroup Boygenius – made up of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus – was named best international group.
American singer Miley Cyrus won international song of the year for her track Flowers, and sent a video message saying: “Thank you for giving me somewhere to wear this dress,” she said while paying tribute to fans for enjoying the upbeat hit track, about break-ups, “throughout the world”.
Cyrus added that the message was “short”, like her clothing.
The hip hop/grime/rap act Brit Award was handed to Casisdead, while Calvin Harris won best dance act. He kissed his wife Vick Hope as his name was announced and his collaborator Ellie Goulding stood up and cheered.
Jungle was named best group while Bring Me The Horizon was named best alternative/rock act and Chase & Status were named best producers.
