Many designers reached out to Rexha following her tweet and her fans have been waiting to see which design house she would end up going with on music’s biggest night.

Variety caught up with the singer-songwriter over the weekend looking for an update. “I have two options, and I’m gonna pick the one I feel like in the moment,” Rexha revealed. “I don’t know which one to wear.
