Tyla showed up and showed out at the EMAs in Manchester, England, last night. Hitting the red carpet dressed in a look inspired by R&B legend Aaliyah’s early 2000s VMA fit, she then took it to the stage to perform her hits “Water” and “Push 2 Start.” She took home three EMA awards for best R&B, best African act and best Afrobeats. In the R&B category, she faced some stiff competition from the likes of R&B superstars Usher, Tinashe, SZA, Victoria Monet and Kehlani. After her big win, Tyla had this to say.

Tyla:
Oh my gosh, guys, I am just as shocked as you guys like I don’t know what to do like I can’t. Thank you guys so much. Thank you to my tigers. Thank you to my team. Thank you to the EMAs. I know it’s so hard to categorize my music. I literally mix so many different genres into one, but R&B is a huge influence in my music.

We’re sending a huge congratulations to Tyla and all the other winners at last night’s EMAs. For more, keep it locked at Billboard News.
