Khalid's debut album, American Teen, was not only one of POPSUGAR's favorites of 2017 [1], but also one of the Recording Academy's. The 19-year-old singer-songwriter picked up five Grammy nominations [2] for his work — including best new artist and best R&B song — and also managed to fulfill a long-held dream by scoring a spot at the 60th annual award show. While we're sure every artist walking the red carpet [3] at the Grammys would say the same, Khalid actually has the tweets to prove it.

Back in January 2014, the future "Young Dumb & Broke" singer tweeted out [4] one of his goals as a musician: "I want to go to the Grammys one day." Almost exactly four years later, Khalid got a chance to cross that hope off of his bucket list. Before his scheduled performance of "1-800-273-8255" alongside Logic and Alessia Cara on Sunday night, Khalid walked the red carpet at the event himself looking sharp as hell in a light suit and green turtleneck. Clearly the moment has been a long time coming, which he actually reflected on back in November when the Grammy nominations were first announced.

Wow. I did it. https://t.co/Efiwl0vGrI [5]
