Billie Eilish and her Grammys

By the end of the 62nd Grammy Awards on Sunday evening, 18-year-old singer Billie Eilish swept all four of the nightโ€™s biggest prizes โ€” Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Album of the Year โ€” along with honors for Best Pop Vocal Album.

The show started off on a somber note, as celebrities on the red carpet paid tribute to the legendary Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash that morning. Both stars and co-host Ryan Seacrest repeatedly emphasized that the Staples Center, where the Grammys took place and Bryant spent his career, was the โ€œhouse of Kobe.โ€

The show was already thrown into chaos last week with the sudden exit of Recording Academy chief Deborah Dugan โ€” the first woman to run the organization โ€” followed by her explosive lawsuit that alleged gender discrimination and sexual harassment.

Host Alicia Keys promptly acknowledged the impact of the news of Kobe Bryantโ€™s death on the best-laid plans of Grammy show organizers, stating immediately upon taking the stage โ€œHere we are together on musicโ€™s biggest night celebrating the artists who do it best.

โ€œBut to be honest with you,โ€ she added, โ€œweโ€™re all feeling crazy sadness right now, because early today, Los Angeles, America and the whole wide world lost a hero. Iโ€™m literally standing here heartbroken in the house that Kobe Bryant built.โ€

Here were some of the other Grammy highlights of the night.
