Charli XCX wins songwriter of the year at 2025 Ivor Novello Awards as jury praises her bold storytelling

Charli XCX, known for her music and rebellious spirit, has just been named Songwriter of the Year at the 2025 Ivor Novello Awards. Held at London’s Grosvenor House, the ceremony recognised the people behind the music, including those who write the lyrics, shape the melodies, and craft the tunes that stick with us. And this year, it was Charli’s moment.

In a cheeky acceptance speech, she quoted lyrics from her own song Club Classics: “I wanna dance to me, me, me…” and followed it up by saying, “I’m hardly Bob Dylan.” But behind the humour was a clear truth: she’s worked hard to create something uniquely her own. Her 2024 album Brat captured both chaos and honesty, mixing club-ready beats with raw questions about fame, identity, and relationships. It was not just a hit on the charts; it sparked a wider cultural moment. Even the word “brat” made it into the Collins Dictionary’s Word of the Year.

Salman Khan’s Mumbai home targeted twice in 24 hours as two arrested for trespassing despite tight security

Salman Khan’s residence in Bandra, Mumbai, faced two security breaches this week after a man and a woman tried to enter his building on separate occasions. Both individuals have since been taken into custody by the Bandra police and booked for trespassing.

The first incident occurred on Tuesday morning when 23-year-old Jitendra Kumar Singh, who had travelled from Chhattisgarh, was found lingering near the actor’s residence. When asked to leave by security personnel, Singh became agitated and smashed his phone. Later that evening, he managed to sneak inside the Galaxy Apartments compound by following a car into the premises. Security guards apprehended him before he could reach the actor and handed him over to the police. During questioning, Singh reportedly said he just wanted to meet Khan, but security wouldn't let him in.

Hailey Bieber’s Vogue cover turns stormy after Justin’s controversial caption stirs backlash

The pop star shared Hailey’s cover image with an unexpected confession: he once told her she’d never make it to Vogue during a past argument. While Justin tried to frame the post as a heartfelt apology and testament to her growth, fans didn’t see it that way. The caption struck many as tone-deaf, with critics accusing him of overshadowing Hailey’s achievement with an unnecessary anecdote that placed the focus back on him.
