The 2024 Grammy Awards have passed out the coveted gramophone for song of the year.
Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas took home the award for their tearjerker ballad from Barbie, “What Was I Made For?” and the 22-year-old was shocked to be accepting the golden statue as she took the stage.
“Whoops, yikes, whoa my goodness. Damn that’s stupid,” the pop star said as she started her speech. “Literally I was looking at everybody’s faces and I leaned over and I was like, ‘Not a chance.'”
“I just wanna say everybody in this category – that was a crazy list of incredible people, incredible artists, incredible music. I feel crazy right now,” she said, giving a shoutout to the other nominees in the category, which included Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night,” Jon Batiste’s “Butterfly,” Lana Del Rey’s “A&W,” Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers,” Olivia Rodrigo’s “vampire,” SZA’s “Kill Bill” and Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero.”
Eilish also recognized her family, including her parents who were in attendance at the awards show and Finneas, 26, who she called “my best friend in the world.”
“I’m shocked out of my balls,” Eilish admitted before thanking Barbie director Greta Gerwig for “making the best movie of the year.”
Finneas also jumped in and said the songwriting pair find it “hard to feel deserving, ever,” of their accolades, as he added, “We feel very humbled, very grateful.”
