18-year-old singer Billy Elish is the big winner of the 62nd Grammy Awards on the night of Sunday night in Los Angeles.
Elish made history and became the youngest winner in the history of the ceremony and the first woman ever to win all four of the most important categories in one evening at the American Music Academy's annual ceremony, album of the year, single of the year and song of the year for the big hit "Bad Guy" and for the best new artist. Eilish is the second in history to reach the distinguished achievement, 39 years after he first did it to Christopher Cross.

In addition, Elisha is the youngest winner to win the grand prize for this year's album on her debut album "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?", A record in which Taylor Swift held it a decade ago when she was 20. Elisha also won the award For Best Pop Album and her older brother and co-creator, Phineas, won the prestigious Producer of the Year award at just 22 years old.

"We didn't write a speech in advance because we didn't create the album to win the Grammy," said Elisha's brother as the two took to the stage to collect the figurines. "We didn't think this album would ever win a prize, ever. We wrote an album about depression and suicidal thoughts and climate change and about being the bad guy - whatever. We stand here confused and grateful. "

When they won last night's award in minutes, they simply said "thank you" awkwardly.

Pop and R&B singer Lizzo, who led with eight nominations, has won three awards, including for the best pop songs and R&B song, and young singer-rapper Lil Nas X has won two awards for his huge hit "Old Town Road", A duet with veteran country singer Billy Ray Cyrus (Miley Cyrus' father), the first time each to win a Grammy.

The vast majority of the awards were distributed outside the live broadcast, which was packed with numerous performances by many artists, including Ariana Grande, Aerosmith, John Legend, Camilla Cabio and the Jonas Brothers. Other winners include stand-up comedian Dave Chappell, who won the comedy album, 70s disco star Gloria Gaynor, who was awarded the Good Gospel Album, and former First Lady Michelle Obama, who won the audio version of the autobiography book Last year.

But for the great joy of this year's big evening for the music industry, the surprising tragedy thickened with the news of the death of basketball legend Kobe Bryant, who was killed with his daughter and seven other people in a private helicopter crash just hours before the ceremony. The Grammy takes place every year at the Downtown Staples Center in Los Angeles, which is also the home of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team, whose Bryant has been its undisputed icon for 20 years, including five NBA championships.

"We celebrate the achievements of artists who are doing their best, but to be honest, we all feel crazy sadness," said singer of the ceremony Alicia Keys as early as the first minutes of the ceremony, "Los Angeles, America and the world have lost a hero today and we stand heartbroken at home Shakobi built. "

The tributes to Bryant have also been a big part of the preliminary discourse in interviews on the red carpet and in many speeches and even the scandal the academy has experienced in recent days following the departure of President Debra Dugan. Taylor Swift, who was nominated for this year's song category, has reportedly canceled a surprise guest appearance planned for her by the organizers as an act of protest over corruption that Dugan attributed to her allegations against the academy.
