LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26-- American singer Billie Eilish dominated the 62nd Grammy Awards here on Sunday, sweeping all four major categories, including Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Best New Artist. Eilish, 18, whose full name is Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell, is the second artist ever to win all four top categories after Christopher Cross in 1981. She is also the youngest solo performer to ever win Album of the Year. She snagged Song of the Year and Record of the Year for "Bad Guy," and Album of the Year for "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" Eilish also took home Best Pop Vocal Album. She won a total of five of the six awards for which she was nominated, and only lost Best Pop Solo Performance, which ended up going to Lizzo for "Truth Hurts." "So many other songs deserve this... This is my first Grammys. I never ever thought this would happen in my whole life," said Eilish after accepting the award for Song of the Year. Her brother Finneas O'Connell accepted the award with Eilish for Song of the Year, saying they recorded together in a bedroom in their family home. "This is to all the kids that are making music in their bedroom today," he said, holding the trophy. "You're going to get one of these." Eilish had six nominations heading into Sunday after Lizzo, who had eight nominations this year, the most of any artist. Other big winners on Sunday night included Lil Nas X, who won Video of the Year for "Old Town Road," and Lizzo, who scooped up three prizes, including Best Pop Solo Performance for her breakout hit "Truth Hurts." |
