Spiritbox has been on a meteoric rise, cementing their status as one of the most dynamic forces in heavy music. Fresh off opening a stadium tour with legends Korn and Gojira, the band is riding high with their Grammy nomination for Best Heavy Metal Performance — making frontwoman Courtney LaPlante the only woman-fronted act to be nominated in the category. Spiritbox is also keeping fans captivated with their eventful schedule. From collaborating with Megan Thee Stallion on her hit single “TYG” and a successful remix of “Cobra” to announcing their new album Tsunami Sea set for a March 7th, the band is proving they can bridge metal, hip-hop, and pop with ease. Below we got to take a look into Courtney’s BTS Grammy diary.
-
- Lana and Christiania came over bright and early to get me ready since our ceremony begins before the telecast ceremony,
-
- I had to be out the door by 12am to make sure I had time for the carpet and to be there when they called our award. I was counting down my last free minutes before latex era began
-
- I always have to wear a special perfume for moments like this to get me in the zone, but for this show, I wore the one that makes me feel the most like me my combo of oil and two perfumes!
-
- Final Touches
-
- I’m so glad that they made me feel so comfortable and that I could take on the challenge of wearing this thing! They were right and I wouldn’t have wanted any other dress, they could tell I wanted the drama of that long latex train!
-
- Styling team Judson Harmon and Jak McGrath with Steph Gotch
-
- This last minute decision to wear this dress worried me a bit, I wondered if I could make it look good for that long without the help of my Stylists constantly spraying me down like I was a dolphin getting transported somewhere.
Somehow we all were ready relatively on time! It’s funny because I felt so hot in this outfit, but I think I look a little uncomfortable in these photos because I can’t really touch my skin to the latex, it will get glitter all over the latex…. Everyone also felt they had to stand far away from me to not step on my train or get the latex goop on them….. I say next time we just roll with it, let’s get glitter everywhere. Who cares? I want a hug!
-
- Walking in latex like this feels like when you have those exercise bands on your leg at the gym, it was a workout!
-
- Michael filmed me on the red carpet during an already infamous interview in our world
-
- It’s customary after we lose, for us to go into the little food hall and buy some hotdogs and sit around with the other losers and winners….
-
- I hadn’t eaten a single thing that day, and to my dismay they had run out of hotdogs. my little sister ripped one out of her purse that she had saved. I love her.
-
- This isn’t even half of the people that came all the way here for us and took time out of their day to spend with us celebrating, whether we won or lost, our family had a blast meeting all these people who are so important to us
