At only 18 years old, Billie Eilish, with her iconoclastic pop and her dark universe, achieved the grand slam on Sunday at the Grammy Awards by winning the price of the recording of the year for Bad Guy and that of the "album of the 'year' of the ceremony, dedicated to the late basketball player Kobe Bryant, who died at 41 in a helicopter accident.
Already crowned shortly before "revelation of the year" and "song of the year", the teenager thus won the bet in the four major categories of the Grammy Awards, the youngest to have achieved such a feat since the beginning of the competition. She also won the Grammy for best pop vocal album, bowing only to the exuberant rapper Lizzo in the category of "best solo pop performance".
First of its generation at the top of the top 100
The young woman with partially dyed green hair has swept seasoned stars like Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey or Lady Gaga, and big names like Lizzo, Lil Nas X or Post Malone. The California artist was among the artists with the most Grammy nominations this year, six in total.
Before the release of his album last spring, Billie Eilish had already achieved great success on the internet for his daring pop, marked by heavy bass and mixed with "trap" and electro. In August, Billie Eilish became the first musician born in the 2000s to climb to the top of the American top 100, dethroning Lil Nas X and her 19-week record with her global success Old Town Road .
The artist consecrated "woman of the year 2019" by the specialized magazine Billboard also wrote with his brother the official theme of the next installment of the adventures of James Bond, Dying Can Wait .
