The 2020 Grammy Awards were monumental last night. Between the tributes to Kobe Bryant, Prince, and Nipsey Hussle, the night saw first-time wins for artists like Billie Eilish, Tyler, the Creator, Lil Nas X, and Lizzo.
Billie Eilish monumentally swept last night and became the first female artist to win all four major categories: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist. The 18-year-old alt-pop star also won Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical), and her brother FINNEAS won Producer of the Year (Non-Classical) for his work on When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?.
Lil Nas X won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for his iconic Billy Ray Cyrus collaboration “Old Town Road.” The Chemical Brothers won both Best Dance Recording and Best Dance/Electronic Album, snubbing both Skrillex and Flume respectively. Nipsey Hussle posthumously won Best Rap Performance and Best Rap/Sung Performance for his collaboration alongside DJ Khaled. Tyler, The Creator’s Igor won Best Rap Album.
