AceShowbiz – Alessia Cara led the winners at Canada’s Juno Awards on Monday (June 29) night, taking home three gongs at the virtual event.
The 23-year-old singer and songwriter was originally meant to be the host of the ceremony before it was axed due to the coronavirus pandemic, but she still had a lot to smile about as she picked up the Songwriter of the Year, Best Album and Best Pop Album gongs for her record “The Pains of Growing” during the livestream broadcast.
Following the ceremony, Alessia took to her Twitter page to share a handwritten page of thank yous to those who have helped her in her journey so far, with the note reading, “Thank you so much to the Juno awards for the incredible acknowledgements. This album meant a whole lot to me and it’s so beautiful to see my words and work held weight for people.”
“(Thank you) to my family, friends and fans for loving, supporting, steadying and pushing me. Love you!”
