New Delhi: The 63rd Grammy Awards were held in Los Angeles in a unique socially distanced fashion. Meghan Thee Stallion and Harry Styles won their first-ever Grammy award. Taylor Swift became the only artist to ‘album of the year’ three years in a row. This year she won the award for her album ‘Folklore’.
Billie Eilish also won two awards after becoming just the second artist in Grammy history—and the first woman—to take home the Big Four awards: album, record and song of the year plus best new artist in 2020.
For BTS fans this was an evening of disappointment as the K-pop group lost on their chance of Grammys. The “Dynamite” band gave a performance from Seoul on the Grammy-nominated number.
Beyonce created history at the 63rd Grammy Awards by becoming the only female artist to ever win 28 Grammys. During the ceremony, she was honored for “Savage” (with Meghan Thee Stallion) and “Black Parade.”
