Earlier this year, the former Aldridge School student won a BRIT Award for Best Female Solo Artist.
Handed the Brit by Nile Rodgers, Smith dedicated the honour to aspiring female artists.
Her win came just three years after she received the Critics Choice Award and has continued her meteoric rise.
The 21-year-old will also perform alongside the likes of The Killers, The Cure, Stormzy, Kylie Minogue, Janet Jackson, Miley Cyrus and more at this year's Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm from June 26 to 30.
