Iggy Azalea likes Sam Smith. No, she really likes Sam Smith.
Azalea, the 24-year-old Australian rapper, is up for four Grammys at the 57th annual Grammy Awards. She has been nominated in these categories: Best New Artist and Record of the Year, in addition to Best Rap Album and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. The Grammy broadcast airs Feb. 8, 2015.
Azalea will go up against some big name talent in the Best New Artist and Record of the Year categories, including Sam Smith, Sia and Taylor Swift, but the rapper isn't worried about the outcome.
"If I lose every award to Sam Smith, I'd be fine with it," Azalea told Billboard. "I really loved Sam Smith's record."
So, there you have it.
In addition to her Grammy nominations, among Iggy's other 2014 accolades is that she surpassed Lil' Kim as the female rapper with the longest-leading single in Billboard's Hot 100 chart history with "Fancy," according to MTV News. She also became the first act since The Beatles to secure both the No. 1 and No. 2 spots when her Ariana Grande collaboration, "Problem," released alongside "Fancy."
"I don't know one girl my age who isn't a fan of rap music," she told the publication. "We have very few characters that we can identify with, so it's cool I get to be one of those girls."
Of her banner year, Azalea said, "It has been a pretty awesome year."
