Olivia Rodrigo, the teenage singer of heartbreak ballad “drivers license,” was crowned best new artist at the Grammy awards on Sunday but missed a chance to accomplish a rare sweep of the music industry’s top four awards.
But she lost out on at least one of those categories when song of the year went to Silk Sonic’s 1970s-inspired R&B song “Leave the Door Open.” The group, the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak, performed the hit on stage to open awards show and returned minutes later to accept their trophy.The highest honors in music were postponed from January during a spike in COVID-19 cases and moved from Los Angeles to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Jon Batiste, a multi-genre artist who went into the day with a leading 11 nominations, landed four awards handed out before the televised ceremony. They included best music video for “Freedom,” a vibrantly colored tribute to New Orleans.“I am so grateful for the gifts God has given me and the ability to share that for the love of humankind,” Batiste said.
