A particle physics approach to describing black hole interactions is opening new avenues for understanding gravitational-wave observations. In this talk, we will review this paradigm change showing how general relativity naturally emerges from scattering amplitudes. Applications for deriving solutions to Einstein field equations, the bending of light and waveforms - directly from quantum field theory - are explained.
