Σάρωσε η Billie Eilish | Όσα συνέβησαν στη χθεσινή τελετή απονομής των Grammy Awards

Written by Tasos P.

Η Billie Eilish έσπασε όλα τα ρεκόρ στα Grammy 2020, κατακτώντας τα τέσσερα κορυφαία βραβεία.

Η 18χρονη τραγουδίστρια έφυγε από τα Grammy 2020, στις υποψηφιότητες των οποίων ηγείτο η Lizzo, με τα βραβεία για το καλύτερο άλμπουμ, τραγούδι, δίσκο της χρονιάς και τον τίτλο του καλύτερου νέου καλλιτέχνη της χρονιάς. Η Eilish, κέρδισε για το ντεμπούτο της studio album When We All Fall Sleep, Where Do We Go και το μοναδικό Bad Guy βραβεύτηκε ως το τραγούδι της χρονιάς, αλλά και record της χρονιάς. Ανάμεσα στους νικητές και η Lizzo, η Beyoncé, η Lady Gaga και οι Chemical Brothers.

«Δεν κάναμε αυτό το άλμπουμ για να κερδίσουμε το Grammy. Γράψαμε για την κατάθλιψη και τις σκέψεις αυτοκτονίας αλλά και την κλιματική αλλαγή», είπε η Billie Eilish, η οποία έγραψε το άλμπουμ μαζί με τον αδελφό της Fineas στο δωμάτιό του. «Στεκόμαστε εδώ μπερδεμένοι και ευγνώμονες», πρόσθεσαν.

Επίσης λίγες ώρες πριν είχε γίνει γνωστό πώς ο θρύλος του ΝΒΑ Kobe Bryant είχε χάσει τη ζωή του σε δυστύχημα με ελικόπτερο στο οποίο επέβαινε και η 13χρονη κόρη του κι ακόμα επτά άτομα.

Οι προσκεκλημένοι της εκδήλωσης εμφανίστηκαν συντετριμμένοι από την τραγωδία, ενώ όταν ανέβηκε στη σκηνή η σπουδαία Alicia Keys προκάλεσε μεγάλη συγκίνηση με τα λόγια της και τραγούδησε για τον Kobe Bryant.

Η μουσική βραδιά περιελάμβανε performances από LizzoBlake Shelton και Gwen StefaniJonas BrothersBoyz II MenUsher τραγουδώντας ένα αφιέρωμα στον PrinceCamila CabelloAriana GrandeBillie EilishAerosmith μαζί με Run-DMCH.E.R. και η Demi Lovato που παρουσίασε το νέο της τραγούδι!
