Reporter Mistakenly Thinks Spiritbox’s Courtney LaPlante Is Poppy on Grammy Red Carpet

Spiritbox vocalist Courtney LaPlante found herself in an awkward but amusing situation on the Grammy Red Carpet this past weekend when a reporter mistook her for fellow hard rock/metal nominee Poppy. Rather than correcting the reporter, LaPlante decided to play along, conducting the entire interview as if she were Poppy.

The hilarious exchange, which has since gone viral, showcases LaPlante’s quick wit and sense of humor. Fans have been sharing the clip across social media, praising her lighthearted response to the mix-up. The full video of the interview is available below.

 

 

LaPlante was nominated for Best Metal Performance for Spiritbox’s “Cellar Door,” while Poppy earned a nomination for her collaboration with Knocked Loose on “Suffocate.” Other contenders included Judas Priest and Metallica, but the award ultimately went to French metal icons Gojira for “Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!)”, a track they performed at the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony.
