She had already won an award at Sunday Grammys ceremony, but Dua Lipa's win for Best New Artist seemed to take her by surprise.
The 23-year-old songstress covered her face in shock as she was announced as the winner for Best New Artist.
The London-born singer had been waiting nervously backstage after concluding a stirring performance with St Vincent.
Stand up for women: Dua Lipa, 23, included a jab at Recording Academy president Neil Portnow and his declaration at least year's show that women 'need to step up' during her Best New Artist acceptance speech
Dua appeared on the stage in an edgy black and white dress festooned with golden safety pins.
After a heartfelt opening, Dua took a jab at the Recording Academy president Neil Portnow and his declaration at least year's show that women 'need to step up.'
His comments, an explanation for the lack of female nominees and winners at previous shows, were poorly received by audiences and musicians.
'Where I want to begin is by saying how honored I am to be nominated alongside so many incredible female artists this years,' she said. 'I guess this year we've really stepped up.'
Rubbing it in: 'Where I want to begin is by saying how honored I am to be nominated alongside so many incredible female artists this years,' she said. 'I guess this year we've really stepped up'
The New Rules singer included a shout out to her fans who helped propel her to success.
'I want to say a really big thank you to my fans, who have allowed me to be the best version of myself. I love you guys very much,' she said with palpable emotion.
The singer also saluted her family, who were in attendance at the ceremony.
Can't forget them: 'I want to say a really big thank you to my fans, who have allowed me to be the best version of myself. I love you guys very much,' she said with palpable emotion
'I have one thing that I really want to say, for anyone that hasn't realized how special they are to have a different story, a different background, a name that honors their roots because they just want to be normal, whatever the hell that means, just know that no matter where you're from or your background or what you believe in, never let that get in the way of you and your dreams,' she implored
'Because you deserve it, and I'm proof that you can do whatever you put your mind to, and however hard you work, I really believe in it and I believe in you. Thanks you so much'
The most inspiring portion of the pop star's speech came toward the end, as she battled against the swelling music attempting to play her off.
'I have one thing that I really want to say, for anyone that hasn't realized how special they are to have a different story, a different background, a name that honors their roots because they just want to be normal, whatever the hell that means, just know that no matter where you're from or your background or what you believe in, never let that get in the way of you and your dreams,' she implored.
'Because you deserve it, and I'm proof that you can do whatever you put your mind to, and however hard you work, I really believe in it and I believe in you. Thanks you so much.'
