Lewis Capaldi has admitted to being incredibly nervous before his TRNSMT gig but vowed he would headline next year if festival bosses ask.
The singing sensation spoke exclusively to Daily Record reporter Mickey McMonagle ahead of his TRNSMT set about the pressures of playing big shows and how emotional he felt watching Stormzy's cover of his hit song Someone You Loved.
The 22-year-old told us: "I'm nervous for sure about this, it feels different this time though because last time I was on early on the Main Stage and I built it up in my head as my first ever main stage, but it felt no one was paying attention.
"Now I'm driving through Glasgow and there's Scottish Beyoncé billboards everywhere.
"It doesn't feel like I am headlining because George Ezra is on after me, I don’t know how many tickets were left to sell so I can’t say I sold it out. He takes the pressure off if I do terribly, he will be great and they'll forget I was rubbish.’
"I wouldn't say I'd love to headline but I wouldn't turn down the cash. It's all happened so fast it's taken me by surprise. I'm nervous putting on one show then the manager is laid back saying it will sell out. You just never know. I'm like just keep it at one! I'm lucky.”
The singer also said he was overcome with emotion watching Stormzy cover his hit song Someone You Loved at TRNSMT.
The rapper, who was headlining the festival on Friday night, told the audience: 'Lewis Capaldi is a f****** bad boy and I want to play something for the home crowd'.
Lewis, who was watching the performance online from his hotel room, said it was an emotional experience.
"I loved it, I'm a massive fan of Stormzy and I have been for ages.
"He said it was something he was planning for a while, and he looked like he was having a belter of a time doing it. I was watching on my phone in a hotel room in London and it was just such a weird experience.
"I was in the crowd watching him at Glastonbury and he was amazing.
"Him covering me here, I'm not at that level and he’s doing that. It's emotional."
The last year for Lewis has been a whirlwind of success and he doesn't look to stop soon.
He added: "Everytime I think the most mental thing has happened this year, something else does. It's just non-stop."
