Teen sensation Billie Eilish swept the four major categories at the 2020 Grammy Awards on Sunday night, picking up trophies for Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
The 18-year-old singer made history with her avant-garde debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, which was co-written by her brother Finneas OConnell, becoming the first woman and the youngest artist ever to win all four awards on the same night.
Musics biggest night kicked off at the Staples Center in Los Angeles under the shadow of Kobe Bryants death. The NBA legend, who died in a helicopter crash hours before the ceremony, was honored throughout the show Lizzo dedicated a medley to him, and host Alicia Keys paid tribute to him in a stirring performance with Boyz II Men.
The 62nd annual ceremony also arrived amid major clashes within the Recording Academy: The organizations first female head, Deborah Dugan, was ousted days ago . She has since called the integrity of the Grammys into question, claiming she was suspended in retaliation for challenging a culture of corruption enabled by the boys club mentality and approach.
But no explicit mention of the scandal was made during the ceremony.
The nominees, however, did reflect recent efforts to diversify the Recording Academys ranks. Many young new stars, including Lizzo and Lil Nas X , scored major nods.
The Truth Hurts singer, however, failed to break through in the major general field categories despite being the most nominated artist heading into the night. She took home three awards, including Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Traditional R&B Performance. Lil Nas X, who wowed the crowd with a star-studded rendition of his genre-bending hit Old Town Road, also picked up his first Grammy for Best Music Video.
Other artists who walked away with the coveted golden gramophones included Tyler the Creator for Best Rap Album, Anderson .Paak for Best R&B album, Tanya Tucker for Best Country Album, Vampire Weekend for Best Alternative Album, Cage the Elephant for Best Rock album and The Chemical Brothers for Best Dance/electronic Album.
The ceremony also featured a tribute to the late rapper Nipsey Hussle from DJ Khaled, John Legend, Meek Mill, and gospel singer Kirk Franklin, as well as a performance from Sheila E., Usher and FKA twigs to honor Princes legacy.
