Billie Eilish wins big at the Grammys - 3rd February 2020
Billie Eilish has won five awards at the 2020 Grammy music awards.
Eilish is 18 years old and is the youngest singer to win Album of the Year at the famous award show. She creates music with her brother and they recorded their winning album at their home in L.A.
Billie Eilish now holds the title for the top four categories at the Grammys: Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Album of the Year. Her brother also received Best Producer of the Year.
She’s very humble. She doesn't think of herself as a famous pop star. She jokes, “I feel like they accidentally let in a fan!”
Eilish works hard to create pop music that’s a bit different. She writes lyrics that ask dark questions and sings to experimental melodies. Her music is very popular and many people download her records.
Off stage, there was some confusion about who was who in the audience. ‘Seat fillers’ are people who sit in empty seats if stars leave during the show. A businessman seat filler sat behind Billie Eilish was mistaken for her grandfather as he celebrated her wins.
