Billie Eilish Makes History as Youngest Artist to Win Grammys in 4 Biggest Categories
Billie Eilish had a monumental night at the Grammys on Sunday. After becoming the youngest person to receive nominations in all four major categories – including album of the year, record of the year, song of the year, and best new artist – the 18-year-old made history yet again when she won all the aforementioned awards. She also made history as the youngest artist to receive album of the year, a record which was previously held by Taylor Swift.
During her acceptance speech for song of the year, Eilish took a moment to reflect on the special honour. “I feel like I joke around a lot and I never take anything seriously at these kind of things, but I genuinely want to say I’m so grateful,” she said before passing the mic to her brother and best friend, Finneas O’Connell. He then gave a shout-out all the aspiring musicians who are currently writing music in their bedrooms. “You’re gonna get one of these,” he said, holding up his Grammy. Watch her speeches from the night ahead.
