Billie Eilish reigned supreme this year’s Grammy Awards, walking away with five out of six awards she was nominated for, including the big four (Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year and Best New Artist). But, this isn’t necessarily a new thing. If you need a little Grammys refresher, check this out:
It’s no secret that the Grammys like to indulge one artist, and this year was no exception. Why? Well, for no other reason than to snap the celebrities making that “oh, I have too many Grammys to fit in my tiny hands” face, also known as “shocked Pikachu”.
So without further ado, allow us to present the best photos of celebrities struggling to hold their Grammys.
Kacey Musgraves
So graceful, so peaceful. While many thought that Album of the Year in 2019 deserved to go to Drake, Post Malone or Cardi B, the country-pop superstar showed she deserved it more than anyone by also winning Best Country Album, Song and Solo Performance. A yee-haw icon.
Taylor Swift
Ah, Taylor. At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift scored big, winning Album of the Year and Best Country Album for Fearless, as well as Best Country Female Vocal Performance and Best Country Song for “White Horse”. And while that was certainly memorable, the unforgettable Grammys moment happened off the stage when the pop star dropped one of her many Grammys. Yes, it broke.
Beyoncé
Beyoncé may have just won her 24th Grammy for the groundbreaking Netflix-special, HOMECOMING, but let us cast your mind back to a different time. The year was 2001, Beyoncé had just been awarded for her iconic song “Crazy In Love”, looking poised as ever holding her five Grammys.
Bruno Mars
Singer and professional award balancer it seems. Winning six awards for his album 24K Magic and the standout single “That’s What I Like” in 2018, Bruno Mars certainly had a lot of 24K to add to his home collection.
Adele
In 2017, the vocalist swept the floor with the rest of the nominees taking home Album, Song and Record of the Year for 25 and “Hello”. But, it wasn’t exactly the first time. Five years earlier, Adele won the exact same awards for 21 and “Rolling In The Deep”, among others. Bow down to queen Adele!
We spoke about Adele’s Grammy-award winning song “Skyfall” when we discussed Billie Eilish’s Bond takeover on this episode of It’s Been A Big Dar For…
Sam Smith
When Sam Smith broke onto the music scene, they did so with a bang, winning three out of the four big awards. In The Lonely Hour and “Stay With Me” were all we could listen to that year, perhaps explaining this reaction.
