Raye made Brit Awards history as she secured six gongs, the most by an artist in a single year.
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” and was also handed the gong for songwriter of the year – the first woman to get the prize in a pre-announced win. The award began in 2022 and was previously given to Ed Sheeran and producer Kid Harpoon.
Visibly crying as she collected the album of the year prize, her sixth of the night, she said: “You just don’t understand what this means to me.”
She added: “Is this happening right now? I’m so sorry… I’m ugly crying on national television.
“I’m so proud of this album. All I wanted was to be an artist.”
The singer came into the ceremony with seven nominations, beating the six received in previous years by Craig David, Gorillaz and Robbie Williams.
