The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards arrived today in Los Angeles, hosted by Alicia Keys, and packed with celebs and artists to cap off a year of music. Who was the hottest new artist of the year? Which album will 2019 be remembered by? Why can’t we stop asking rhetorical questions?
Heading into music’s biggest night, leading nominees included Lizzo, Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X. Lizzo took the industry by storm over the last year and went home with three Grammys, but Eilish, 18, was the youngest artist ever to be nominated in all four major categories—Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist—sweeping all of them, plus Best Pop Vocal Album. How did the major contenders, impressive newcomers, and established veterans ultimately fare?
