Zendaya Says She’s ‘Overwhelmed’ After Making History With Multiple Emmy Nominations For ‘Euphoria’

Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman, popularly known as Zendaya, has reacted to the news that she’s broken several records after scooping up multiple Emmy nominations on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old received her second Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series nomination for “Euphoria,” subsequently making history by becoming the youngest two-time nominee in this category.

Zendaya, who is also an executive producer on the HBO series, was further nominated for Outstanding Drama Series, which she — once again — broke the record for being the youngest ever female producer nominee.

The “Malcolm & Marie” star expressed her happiness in a statement to Vanity Fair, saying, “I’m overwhelmed. It’s absolutely insane.”

“The show obviously means so much to me and so much to everyone who makes it. People put their absolute heart and soul into this, and I am so lucky to share this with all of them. I’ve already talked to so many people on FaceTime, and I have a lot more texts to send out. But I am so proud of our team and the work we do together. I’m very, very proud.”

“Euphoria” received a total of 16 nominations, including Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama for Sydney Sweeney and Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for Martha Kelly.

Zendaya also received a nod in the category Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for her songs “Elliot’s Song” and “I’m Tired” featuring Labrinth.
