Sierra Ferrell entered the GRAMMY® Awards as the most-nominated roots and Americana artist, and emerged as the genre’s biggest winner. In a clean sweep of all her categories, the first-time nominee took home Best Americana Album, Best Americana Performance (‘American Dreaming’), Best American Roots Song (‘American Dreaming’) and Best American Roots Performance (‘Lighthouse’), all celebrating her multi chart-topping LP, ‘Trail of Flowers’. With four trophies, Ferrell is also the GRAMMYs’ second-most winner of 2025, behind only Kendrick Lamar’s five.
Sierra Ferrell arrived at the GRAMMY® Awards wearing a custom dress encrusted with crystals, each holding its own unique properties of healing, loving and protection. The nautical-themed combination of pearls, iridescent fabrics and light-refracting prisms served as both a shield from darkness and a radiant reflection of Ferrell’s bright inner world and whimsical, enchanting spirit. Holding a powerful scepter that encased the scroll to her acceptance speech, the full outfit captured Sierra Ferrell in her true “fae” form. The concept was dreamt up by Ferrell and her creative director, Bobbi Rich, and taken to wardrobe stylist Cathy Hahn. They then enlisted the talents of Jeffrey Kelly Abess, who went above and beyond to bring it all to life.
Days prior, Sierra Ferrell also gave a stunning GRAMMY® weekend performance of the Grateful Dead’s ‘It Must Have Been The Roses’. Singing alongside her friend Lukas Nelson, she honored the band during MusiCares’ Persons of The Year gala, which raised funds for wildfire recovery in Greater Los Angeles, and MusiCares’ year-round programs supporting music professionals in need.
