Tyla, the 22-year-old sensation behind the hit Water, flashed a lot of leg in a stunning black lace dress as she scooped up the Global Impact Award at Billboard’s R&B No. 1s event in New York City. Her dress, featuring an intricate web corset and a playful frilly hem, perfectly complemented her bold black-and-white faux-fur thong sandals adorned with diamante.
While accepting her award, Tyla radiated gratitude and surprise. “This is crazy, that I’m being honoured tonight, what the heck, but thank you so much,” she exclaimed. Tyla took a moment to acknowledge her roots and the surreal feeling of achieving a once-unthinkable dream. “The fact that I’m able to be here today and just live out a dream that never felt real, it’s just such a beautiful thing to be able to experience,” she shared.
Tyla’s speech emphasized cultural appreciation and authenticity in music. “Thank you to everyone who cares to learn about other cultures and other styles of music and truly appreciates and loves it for what it is,” she said.
