The 2025 Grammy Awards happened final Sunday (Feb. 2), and among the many most shocking and amusing moments was when Spiritbox’s Courtney LaPlante was mistaken for Poppy whereas giving a purple carpet interview. Throughout a latest Instagram Dwell session, LaPlante shared some ideas on being confused for her fellow singer and Greatest Steel Efficiency nominee.
For context: Whereas on the purple carpet, a reporter from Stage Proper Secrets and techniques known as out to LaPlante however erroneously addressed her as Poppy. LaPlante dealt with it like a professional, after all, remarking: “I’m Poppy and I’m actually pleased to be right here nominated with Knocked Free. I actually hope we win.” She continued enjoying into the gag with extra Poppy particulars, and finally, Gojira received the award for “Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira).”
Per Steel Injection, LaPlante’s latest Instagram Dwell session discovered her reflecting on the hilarious oversight:
I used to be like, “Do not say something too loopy” as a result of I do not know Poppy and Knocked Free effectively sufficient to go loopy on it, you already know? What if they do not like this? What in the event that they really feel like I am mocking their achievements, as a result of I wasn’t – I believe that is very humorous.
It jogged my memory of [when] Charlie XCX was doing an interview, and somebody was like, “What was it like writing [the Lorde song] ‘Royals’ or one thing like that?” And as an alternative of being all shitty about it, she simply talked about writing “Royals” and being a youngster from New Zealand. I took that as my inspiration, and I believe everybody left pleased, proper? We obtained promotion of Poppy and Knocked Free in there, [and] I slipped a little bit Spiritbox and Courtney in there too.

Each Spiritbox and Poppy truly appeared on the playlist, although, so it largely nonetheless made sense.
