As a true pop chameleon, the American prevailed above all against superstar Taylor Swift and serious competitors such as singers SZA and Billie Eilish and won this prestigious performance award at this equivalent of the music Oscars.
“This award is extraordinary, but I really hope it doesn't change anything because my life was beautiful yesterday,” reacted the singer. “Not everyone is going to get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular, so please don't think about it, it's important.”
Her song “Flowers” is the title track of her eighth studio album “Endless Summer Vacation”. The hit spent eight weeks at the top of Billboard's Top Songs chart last year.
