Charli XCX's services to music were recognised by the Ivor's Academy

[Teletubby 151,065]

Charli XCX was given the visionary award at Ivor Novello Awards, in recognition of the "massive impact" her music has had on the industry.

The star has emerged as one of Britain's most cutting-edge writers, pushing pop's boundaries with an instinct for experimental and provocative production.

In her acceptance speech, the star, whose hits include Boom Clap, 1999 and Beg For You, said she had pursued a musical career because she felt like an outsider.

"Now," she joked, "I feel like an outsider with a heavy award." source source

Carli is so amazing  she deserves this. I know she’s gained a lot of success over the past few years but she still deserves way more recognition IMO. Rooting for my girl

She’s one of a kind. Love her

Deserved! She sure has come a long way. I still remember finding Nuclear Seasons on tumblr back in 2012, it was so exciting to follow her when she didn't have an album yet and every time she has a new project I still feel the same.
