Alan was one of the four women nominated for the songwriter of the year, non -classical, in the third year since he started as an independent category.

In her speech to accept, she emphasized the previous lack of recognition for the song authors, adding: “Without us there will be no songs for which someone will win awards.”

Previously, she was nominated for the same award in 2023, his opening year.

Until she won then, she took her first grams for her work on Harry Harry Styles, who won the album of the year.

“The child in me, who started writing songs when I was little in Maine, screaming and crying and laughing at the absurd at that moment,” she said as she raised the golden gramophone on Sunday night.

“This is the third year to which the author of the songs of the year was even a category, so this award comes to all the legends who have voiced life and generations with all our stories.

“You had to be able to get your flowers then.”

Alan, the singer herself, who released her debut album last September, entered the Music World at the age of eight – she played bass in her sister's group.

She stayed in the group next to the high school and then went to a nursing school before deciding to change the course and join the Berkli Music School. Her first project was like Amy and the engine, and she was the Singers Support Act such as Casey Musgrave and Vance Joy.

Alan's first hit for another artist came when she wrote on Selena Gomez's “Back to You” – something she said “propelled” her career in writing a pop song. She then paired with Gomez to write My Mind & Me, which was nominated for the best original Oscar song in 2023.

She continued to work with hobby and styles, including writing his hit, she adores you, as well as Lizzo. Her first Grammy nomination was in 2022 for Justin Bieber's album Justice.

Since then, Alan has taken a total of eight nominations, including four this year.

She helped Carpenter write every song on the Short N'Sweet ranking album, with the singer telling Variety that she is a “writer and friend in life”, adding: “All this comes to her very natural and effortlessly. “

This year, Alan's co-nominees were singer Ray, along with writers Jesse Alexander, Jesse Joe Dylan and Edgar Barrera.

She said the prize also belonged to them, saying that “they are fighting a good battle.”

“We are the engine that nourishes the music industry,” she said. “And they were so neglected and undervalued.

“Of course we have a long way to go.”
