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害羞草研究所檚 top awards 害羞草研究所� record, song and album of the year, and best new artist 害羞草研究所� 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害羞草研究所檚 害羞草研究所淲hen We all Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?害羞草研究所� also won best pop vocal album. Her brother Finneas O害羞草研究所機onnell also won awards for engineering and producing the album.

害羞草研究所淭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,害羞草研究所� Finneas said backstage after the ceremony. 害羞草研究所淎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害羞草研究所檚 why it means so much to me. I hope they害羞草研究所檙e celebrating. This is all because of them.害羞草研究所�

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.

害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 like anything is possible,害羞草研究所� she said.

Looking for ? See all of last night's unforgettable moments 鉃★笍

In accepting her awards, Eilish noted that she had grown up listening to many of the artists at the ceremony in Los Angeles害羞草研究所� 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 害羞草研究所淓arfquake害羞草研究所� with Boyz II Men. Lil害羞草研究所� Nas X sang his omnipresent 害羞草研究所淥ld Town Road.害羞草研究所� 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害羞草研究所檚 grateful to be acknowledged, 害羞草研究所渋t also sucks whenever we, I mean guys that look like me, do anything that害羞草研究所檚 genre bending, they always put it in an urban rapper category,害羞草研究所� he said. 害羞草研究所淚 don害羞草研究所檛 like that urban word. It害羞草研究所檚 just a politically correct way to say the N-word to me.害羞草研究所�

Earlier in the show, Keys sat at a piano to sing a rewrite of Lewis Capaldi害羞草研究所檚 song, 害羞草研究所淪omeone You Loved害羞草研究所� that name-checked many of the nominated artists but also included a few pointed lines about respect.

害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檓 gonna be honest with y害羞草研究所檃ll,害羞草研究所� she said. 害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 been a helluva week.害羞草研究所�

Keys also had the delicate task of addressing the shock of Bryant害羞草研究所檚 death in a helicopter crash, while onstage at the same arena where the former Laker won championships.

She sang 害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday害羞草研究所� with Boyz II Men. References to Bryant abounded 害羞草研究所� a Lakers jersey held up by Run-DMC during their performance of 害羞草研究所淲alk This Way害羞草研究所� with Aerosmith, and adorning a couch on a set where Lil Nas X began 害羞草研究所淥ld Town Road.害羞草研究所�

害羞草研究所淲e害羞草研究所檙e all feeling crazy sadness right now,害羞草研究所� said Keys, who received praise online for how she handled it.

害羞草研究所淎licia, you害羞草研究所檝e been lighting this awards show up,害羞草研究所� rapper Common said onstage. 害羞草研究所淭hank you.害羞草研究所�

Besides her big opening, Lizzo took home three Grammys, including best pop solo performance for 害羞草研究所淭ruth Hurts害羞草研究所� and two R&B awards. She also seemed noticeably affected by Bryant害羞草研究所檚 death.

害羞草研究所淲e need to continue to reach out,害羞草研究所� she told her fellow artists. 害羞草研究所淭his is the beginning of making music that moves people again.害羞草研究所�

Clark害羞草研究所檚 pointed 害羞草研究所淭his Land害羞草研究所� also won for best rock song and rock performance, and he won a third for contemporary blues album.

Among the show害羞草研究所檚 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 害羞草研究所淔irst Man,害羞草研究所� 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.
