Aftab is attending the Grammys for the first time, with two nominations under her belt on the heels of her 2021 album “Vulture Prince.”
“I feel like this category in of itself has been insane… it should this be called yacht party category,” Aftab said onstage after receiving her trophy at the 64th GRAMMY Awards. “I made [this record] about everything that broke me and put me back together. Thank you for listening to it and making it yours.”
