The next couple of months, Julia had a lot going for her. She had to perform at three award shows: the Brits, AMA's, and the Grammys, as well as attend multiple interviews. To say she was stressed was not even an overstatement. She had been in the studio for the past four weeks, practising every performance because she wanted to nail it. Her body had become frail, and she felt sore everywhere. Her family were getting a little worried that their little ball of energy was almost out of it. Nevertheless, they were proud of her hard work. Gavi, in particular, was impressed with her, seeing how straining performing was and how much heart Julia put into every song.

The Brits were held on February eighth 2022. This was Julia's first live performance; her family and friends were watching it live at home. Pedri was present, too, because Ferran forced him to go. They watched Dua Lipa present Julia's performance: "Now performing one of Spotify's most streamed song at the moment is Julia Soler." 

As she stood on the grand stage, with thousands of fans screaming her name, she couldn't help but feel emotional. Pedri was in awe of her, but he couldn't help but feel guilty. Her songs made him realize how much he had hurt Julia and that nothing would ever be the same between them. Wiping his cheek every few seconds, he knew very well that he had broken her and left her like a crumbled paper. Her parents were in tears, too, proud of their baby. Julia looked like a true star, and the whole room was now singing along with her. She later received her very first award for 'International Song of the Year'.

"Julia you have the most streamed song of 2022, 'How Could You', and your debut album 'This Is What It Feels Like' has broken the record for having the most views for an album by a female artist."

"Well, I didn't know that until now. Wow, um, I have to thank my fans for that fully. They have been supporting and listening to this album constantly, and I wouldn't be here without them." she said, smiling. 

"Speaking of your success, how does it feel to know you are breaking so many records at such a young age? I mean you are only nineteen. Who is by the way nominated for 7 Grammys!" Jimmy asked her.

"It's really been life-changing. Last month I was driving in my car and I heard 'How could you?' on the radio. I immediately started crying. I almost couldn't believe all of the success and support I was receiving. You know I watched the numbers on my phone growing, all the people who were streaming it and so on. My life completely changed. Seven months ago I was just a university student, finishing her degree (still am), so I am very thankful." she replied. 

"Your fans have also been curious who these songs are about and what they are based on?" Jimmy said. 

"That's a very good question, Jimmy. Um, I don't think I will ever disclose who these songs are about. Just for his privacy. But I think everyone kind of has an idea of who it is. Other than that, I wrote this album 10 months ago when I almost lost my life. It was funny enough also the time I got dumped, so there were a lot of emotions in the air. I wrote five songs in that hospital, and I showed them to my best friend and she said I should make an album, and here we are." Julia laughed off.

Today was the day Julia had been eagerly awaiting - her performance at the Recording Academy. This was a pivotal moment for her - she had grown up watching this show and knew that many of the world's most famous artists had graced its stage. Trying to steady her trembling hands, Julia chatted with her mom, who could sense her daughter's anxiety.

"Calm down, mija. Everything is going to be fine," her mother reassured her. Julia took a deep breath, trying to shake off her nerves. She hugged her mom tightly before getting interrupted by a worker calling out: "Julia Soler performing in less than a minute." Kissing her mom goodbye, she made her way to the stairs, putting in her earpieces as she went.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Grammy stage, Julia Soler," the presenter said. She took her position and started to sing when she heard the first piano chords. 

The music stopped, and the crowd applauded as she took her bow, still in disbelief that she had just performed on the Grammy stage. Congratulatory messages poured in from everyone around her, and she felt a sense of relief knowing that her performance had gone well. After quickly changing into her red carpet dress, she returned to her seat, still reeling from the surreal experience. She won three Grammys: Song Of The Year, Album Of The Year and Best New Artist. Her heart was pounding with anticipation as she waited for the announcement of the final award of the night - Best Pop Vocal Album.

"And the Grammy goes to 'This is what it feels like' by Julia Soler Gavira," the presenter announced. She made her way to the stage, her heart racing with excitement and disbelief. She had just won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album, and the reality of it all was still sinking in. Taking a deep breath, Julia looked out into the audience, feeling a mix of nerves and exhilaration. 

"Wow," she began, her voice trembling slightly. "I am just blown away right now. This is such an incredible honour and I am so grateful to be here."

Pausing for a moment to compose herself, Julia continued, "I want to thank my incredible team, my family, and of course, my amazing fans. Without all of you, none of this would be possible. This has been such an incredible journey and I am so lucky to be able to do what I love every single day."

As the audience continued to cheer, Julia felt a surge of emotion washing over her. This was a moment she would never forget, a moment that would stay with her forever. "I just want to say to anyone out there who has a dream, to anyone who is working hard to make their passion a reality, keep going. You never know where it might lead you."

With that, Julia lifted her award high above her head, her face beaming with pride and joy. As the applause continued to echo throughout the auditorium, she knew that this was only the beginning of what was sure to be an incredible journey. Her mom's eyes were glassy. She took her mom into a warm embrace. And that was how the most incredible night ended.
