While they’re waiting to find out if they’ve won the Grammys they’re all nominated for, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Chappell Roan have a different award to celebrate: one that recognizes their efforts toward the promotion of plant-based food, animal adoption and cruelty-free products.
They’ve all been named winners of the Libby Awards, handed out by PETA’s youth division, peta2. “Libby” stands for “liberation,” as in animal liberation, and each year the awards are given to people who work to protect animals in various ways.
Ariana won “Best Viral Moment for Animals” due to her appearance on Hot Ones, where she ate animal-free wings and spoke about being vegan. The episode has racked up more than 8 million views since it debuted four months ago. One of the people she beat was Sabrina Carpenter, who was nominated for wearing faux fur in her video for “Please Please Please.”
Chappell was named peta2’s Pawsome Animal Adoption Advocate for visiting an animal shelter while on tour to highlight some of the adoptable dogs. On social media, she also honored her late guinea pigs, who were rescued.
And Taylor won in the Favorite Vegan and Cruelty-Free Celeb Product category for offering fans a Tortured Poets Department journal bound in vegan leather. She, too, beat out Sabrina, who was nominated for her Cherry Baby fragrance, as well as Halsey, who was nominated for the lip stain that’s part of her a24 makeup line.
