She soared to fame last year when her hit song Messy went viral and she made history after becoming the youngest British female artist to score a solo number-one single since Dua Lipa in 2017.
Since then Lola Young’s career has gone from strength to strength with the star preparing to release her second album in September.
And the singer has now celebrated a huge milestone as she shared the news with fans that she has bought her first house.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, Lola, 24, was overcome with emotion as she gushed how proud she is of herself after years of hard work.
She told fans: ‘I am currently sitting on the floor in one of the bedrooms of my new house that I have just bought. I am so proud of myself and emotional to be honest.
‘I am so excited to start a new chapter of my life here and make memories, make so memories.’

She added: ‘So yeah working hard does pay off, it really does.’
The star took to the stage at Glastonbury in June and is set to embark on shows across the UK and US in the autumn.
Her latest single d£aler was released last week, with Elton John already ‘betting his house’ that it is going to be a number one single.
‘It’s unbelievable, it’s the biggest smash I have heard in years,’ said the legendary musician during a chat on Apple Music.
He added: ‘You are going to have the most incredible career, because you can sing live, you are just the whole deal.’
Earlier this year Lola was forced to address allegations she is a ‘nepo baby’ or an ‘industry plant’ after fans discovered her aunt is Julia Donaldson, the author behind the beloved children’s book The Gruffalo.
People also hit out, calling Lola an ‘industry plant,’ which is someone who presents as organically growing their fame but have actually been set up by a label.
Appearing on Capital Buzz, host Sam Pearce asked the rising star: ‘Something that happens any time an artist blows up, the term industry plant gets thrown around, and obviously people have no idea that you’ve been working since 2019. How do you feel about that term?’
She continued: ‘I am so excited to start a new chapter of my life here and make memories, make so memories’
Lola also shared a snap of her empty kitchen with her guitar on the counter as she penned: ‘First item in’

Hitting back at the ‘losers that comment rubbish,’ Lola quipped: ‘No, they don’t know, otherwise they wouldn’t be saying that. I think it is just the most stupid term.
‘I think there are cases of industry plants but so what? It doesn’t mean they’re not talented and it doesn’t take away from anything.
‘People are saying I’m a nepo baby because my great Aunt wrote The Gruffalo. I mean what kind of rubbish is that?’
She continued: ‘I have so much to say on that which I can’t even talk about. But I’m not a nepo baby, I’m not an industry plant, there we go I said it.
‘I’ve cleared that up for all those losers that want to comment rubbish on the internet. Just find something better to do, you’re sad, you’re lonely.
‘The thing is industry plant is just a term for other artists and other people to use who just don’t know what they’re doing in life and feel upset that someone else is having their moment.
‘And if you are an industry plant, you’re not going to have your moment for that long, unfortunately.
‘And maybe sometimes you will, it just doesn’t matter, none of these things matter. If someone’s got talent, then they’ve got talent.’
She then clarified: ‘Yeah, and I’m also not an industry plant at all by the way.’
