Mumbai: Singer-songwriter Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas, who earlier gave a scintillating performance on the song ‘What Was I Made For?’ from the blockbuster film ‘Barbie’, bagged the Song Of The Year award for the same song at the ongoing 66th edition of the Grammy Awards.
The Recording Academy took to its official handle on micro-blogging site X and congratulated the winner. They wrote: “Congrats Song Of The Year winner – “What Was I Made For?” @BillieEilish & @FINNEAS #GRAMMYs.”
She edged out fellow nominees like Dua Lipa, Jon Batiste, Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, SZA and Taylor Swift in the Song of the Year category.
Billie has been nominated in six categories at the ongoing awards ceremony. Eilish is competing in the Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Song Written for Visual Media, and Best Music Video for ‘What Was I Made For?’ and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for ‘Never Felt So Alone’.
Earlier during the ceremony, the sibling duo set the stage of fire with their performance on ‘What Was I Made For?’
Billie, who was accompanied by her brother on piano, was clad in a green plaid coat, a green dress and a pink head scarf for her performance.
She sang while seated on a stool, and also donned dramatic black sunglasses for the performance. She took the glasses off mid-way during her performance of the song. After her performance, the singer received a standing ovation from the crowd owing to her moving performance.
The 65th annual Grammy Awards, which recognises the best recordings, compositions, and artists are being held at the Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles Trevor Noah as the show’s host.
