Winners & Nominees of the 62nd Grammy Awards
This year’s Grammy Awards, taking place in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on January 26, was dominated by break-out stars and younger artists who took the world by storm in 2019 and will continue to do so in 2020. Lizzo, who truly changed things in the music industry this year, was the most nominated artist in the arena that night, with eight nominations. She won three out of those eight. Billie Eilish, a 2019 break-out star who used her unique personality, style, and sound to win over the world, won five out of the six awards she was nominated for. In doing so, she became the first woman to win all four major category Grammys in one night: best album, best record, song of the year, and best new artist. The last artist to do so was Christopher Cross 39 years ago.
The night was also filled with heartwarming tributes to Los Angeles Lakers player Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna, who died tragically in a helicopter accident that morning. With the awards being held in the Staples Center, Kobe’s home arena, it was an emotional night. At the beginning of Lizzo’s performance, she dedicated her song and subsequently the entire night to Kobe Bryant and his family. Also taking the stage for performances was newcomer Billie Eilish, eccentric rapper Tyler the Creator, pop icons like Ariana Grande, H.E.R., and the Jonas Brothers, and classics like Aerosmith, Run-DMC, Tanya Tucker, and Cyndi Lauper. All in all, the 62nd Grammy Awards was one for the books.
