Singer Billie Eilish, who gave voice to young people struggling with depression on a do-it-yourself album she made at home with her older brother, is atop the music world.

The 18-year-old made history at the Grammy Awards Sunday. Not only did she become the youngest person to win one of Grammy香蕉视频直播檚 top awards 香蕉视频直播� record, song and album of the year, and best new artist 香蕉视频直播� Eilish is the first artist to sweep all four since Christopher Cross in 1981.

Her triumph came on a night made sombre by the death of former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant. It also ended a tumultuous week for the Recording Academy that included its ousted CEO accusing the Grammys nominations process of being rigged, and Diddy calling out the organization for not giving enough respect to R&B and hip-hop.

Eilish香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淲hen We all Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?香蕉视频直播� also won best pop vocal album. Her brother Finneas O香蕉视频直播機onnell also won awards for engineering and producing the album.

香蕉视频直播淭he music I listened to when I was growing up, maybe 7, 8, 9 or 10, 13, that was the most important music to me forever,香蕉视频直播� Finneas said backstage after the ceremony. 香蕉视频直播淎nytime a person that age comes up to either one of us and says (it is their favourite), I know how much that means to them. That香蕉视频直播檚 why it means so much to me. I hope they香蕉视频直播檙e celebrating. This is all because of them.香蕉视频直播�

He said that they never thought that an album that addresses depression, suicidal thoughts and climate change would be up for a Grammy.

Eilish noted that they made the album in a bedroom of the Los Angeles-area home where they grew up in.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 like anything is possible,香蕉视频直播� she said.

In accepting her awards, Eilish noted that she had grown up listening to many of the artists at the ceremony in Los Angeles香蕉视频直播� Staples Center. She also said she thought Ariana Grande deserved album of the year, an onstage moment that recalled Adele saying the same thing about Beyonc茅 the same year Adele triumphed.

The success of a young, white girl came on a night the Recording Academy seemingly went out of its way to highlight diversity. Lizzo offered a powerhouse opening performance, and there were tributes to Prince and the late rapper Nipsey Hussle. Tyler, the Creator offered an incendiary version of 香蕉视频直播淓arfquake香蕉视频直播� with Boyz II Men. Lil香蕉视频直播� Nas X sang his omnipresent 香蕉视频直播淥ld Town Road.香蕉视频直播� Grande sang, as did H.E.R., host Alicia Keys and Gary Clark Jr. with the Roots.

Tyler, the Creator said later that the rap album Grammy was a backhanded compliment.

While he香蕉视频直播檚 grateful to be acknowledged, 香蕉视频直播渋t also sucks whenever we, I mean guys that look like me, do anything that香蕉视频直播檚 genre bending, they always put it in an urban rapper category,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 like that urban word. It香蕉视频直播檚 just a politically correct way to say the N-word to me.香蕉视频直播�

Earlier in the show, Keys sat at a piano to sing a rewrite of Lewis Capaldi香蕉视频直播檚 song, 香蕉视频直播淪omeone You Loved香蕉视频直播� that name-checked many of the nominated artists but also included a few pointed lines about respect.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 gonna be honest with y香蕉视频直播檃ll,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 been a helluva week.香蕉视频直播�

Keys also had the delicate task of addressing the shock of Bryant香蕉视频直播檚 death in a helicopter crash, while onstage at the same arena where the former Laker won championships.

She sang 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday香蕉视频直播� with Boyz II Men. References to Bryant abounded 香蕉视频直播� a Lakers jersey held up by Run-DMC during their performance of 香蕉视频直播淲alk This Way香蕉视频直播� with Aerosmith, and adorning a couch on a set where Lil Nas X began 香蕉视频直播淥ld Town Road.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e all feeling crazy sadness right now,香蕉视频直播� said Keys, who received praise online for how she handled it.

香蕉视频直播淎licia, you香蕉视频直播檝e been lighting this awards show up,香蕉视频直播� rapper Common said onstage. 香蕉视频直播淭hank you.香蕉视频直播�

Besides her big opening, Lizzo took home three Grammys, including best pop solo performance for 香蕉视频直播淭ruth Hurts香蕉视频直播� and two R&B awards. She also seemed noticeably affected by Bryant香蕉视频直播檚 death.

香蕉视频直播淲e need to continue to reach out,香蕉视频直播� she told her fellow artists. 香蕉视频直播淭his is the beginning of making music that moves people again.香蕉视频直播�

Clark香蕉视频直播檚 pointed 香蕉视频直播淭his Land香蕉视频直播� also won for best rock song and rock performance, and he won a third for contemporary blues album.

Among the show香蕉视频直播檚 more touching moments was Tyler, the Creator bringing his tearful mother onstage with him to accept his Grammy. Singer Demi Lovato made a comeback appearance after her reported overdose, singing a song she said was written in the troubled days before that event. Camila Cabello sang 香蕉视频直播淔irst Man,香蕉视频直播� a song dedicated to her father, and received a bear hug from a sobbing dad when it was done.

DJ Khaled helped lead the emotional tribute to Hussle, the Los Angeles rapper who was gunned down in March, not long after attending his first Grammy ceremony as a nominee. On Sunday, Hussle won two posthumous Grammys.

Tyler, the Creator, Lizzo and, of course, Eilish were among the acts who won their first-ever Grammys. Other first-time winners included Tanya Tucker, J. Cole, Lil Nas X, Billy Ray Cyrus, Michelle Obama, Sara Bareilles, Rosal铆a and 21 Savage.

Gospel legend Kirk Franklin received his 14th and 15th career Grammys.
