Earlier this month, the “Kill Bill” singer scored the Best International Artist honor at the BRIT Awards, beating out Taylor Swift for the prize, among others.
SZA unexpectedly took home the nod in the competitive category. Also in the running for “Best International Artist” were Lana Del Rey, Olivia Rodrigo, Kylie Minogue, Afrobeats superstars Burna Boy and Asake, and Miley Cyrus — who took home the prize for “International Song” with her hit single “Flowers.”
Back in February, SZA received seven new gold and platinum certifications for songs released on 2022’s SOS album.
“Open Arms” featuring Travis Scott, “Seek & Destroy” and “Ghost In The Machine” featuring Phoebe Bridgers all reached platinum status for the first time (meaning each cut sold over 1,000,000 equivalent units), and “I Hate U” and “Snooze” went three and four times platinum respectively.
