On Sunday night in Las Vegas, the “Drivers License” singer made her mark by winning three of the seven prizes she was nominated for for her chart-topping first single, “Sour.”
Rodrigo may not have received the Grammys windfall many expected, but carrying all three prizes at once, including the Best New Artist trophy, proved to be a challenge.
The Disney star proudly posed for photos with her awards treasure after the ceremony. That is, until she dropped one of her golden gramophones and it was shattered into bits.
As a wall of photographers snap shots and Rodrigo makes a horrified face, she loses grip of one of her awards, which lands on the red carpet’s floor.
Rodrigo’s fans, who have long cited Taylor Swift as a musical inspiration, were quick to point out that the “Folklore” singer did something similar at the 2010 Grammy Awards.
Swift, like Rodrigo, misplaced one of her awards while posing for photos during the presentation, when she picked her first of three Album of the Year trophies.
Rodrigo joins a long list of celebrities who have mismanaged their Grammy awards, including Adele, who memorably smashed her award in half onstage at the 2017 ceremony.
