Tyla had a huge night at the 2025 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. Not only did she host the show, but she also won the award for Favourite Global Music Star. The event, held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, was full of energy, color, and unforgettable moments.
Hosting a major award show for the first time, Tyla called the experience surreal. Years ago, she auditioned for Nickelodeon. Now, she was on stage leading the entire show. Before the slime moment, she joked, “I just hope I only get a little drizzle of slime.” But in true Kids’ Choice fashion, she got drenched.
The night began with a high-energy performance that set the tone. Tyla led a dance-filled opener celebrating summer hits. Benny Blanco handled the music while dancers lit up the stage. Even Smurfette made a surprise appearance. The goal was simple: have fun, and Tyla did just that.
Later in the night, she received the award for Favourite Global Music Star. Her reaction was full of emotion. “This means the world to me — to represent Africa on a global stage and be recognised by all you amazing kids out there… wow,” she said. “Africa to the world.” She beat out top nominees from across Europe, Asia, and the UK.
Throughout the show, Tyla served look after look. She wore five outfits inspired by early 2000s fashion, including a sunset mini dress by Roberto Cavalli, denim shorts, and a bold blue polo dress with the phrase “THE PEOPLE WANT MORE.” Her final tee, which read “WE WANNA PARTY,” was soaked in slime.
Before the slime poured, she smiled and said, “Just do it.” And they did. Laughing through it all, she ended the night saying, “This was the best party ever.”
