The ‘Bad Guy’ hitmaker continues to be unstoppable as she wins big at the Grammys, delivers a touching performance at the Oscars, and makes history with her James Bond song.
- Mar 2, 2020
AceShowbiz – 2020 is bound to be another big year for young rising star Billie Eilish. She kicked off the new year with a bang as she took home a total of five Golden Gramophones including the coveted Album of the Year at the 62nd annual Grammy Awards back in January.
She made history as the youngest person and first woman to win the four main categories, Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year, in the same year. It’s all thanks to her debut album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”.
The 18-year-old singer/songwriter then followed it up with a performance at the biggest movie awards, the Oscars. Joined by her brother Finneas O’Connell, she delivered a touching rendition of The Beatles‘ ever-lasting single “Yesterday” during the “In Memoriam” segment.
On top of that, she has been enlisted to sing the title track for the upcoming twenty-fifth installment in the James Bond film franchise, “No Time to Die“. With her brother as a producer, she became the youngest artist in history to write and record a 007 theme song.
Shortly after it’s released and debuted during her live performance at the Brit Awards, the single soared to No. 1 on the U.K. charts. It became the second Bond song to top the charts and also gave the female artist her first number one single in the United Kingdom.
Despite all her accomplishments, Billie Eilish keeps herself grounded. On the Grammy night during the Album of the Year winner announcement, she was caught on camera repeatedly mouthing, “Please don’t be me,” before yelling, “No!!” when she’s announced as the victor.
During her acceptance speech, she revealed she was actually rooting for fellow artist Ariana Grande. “Can I just say that I think Ariana deserves this?” she said. ” ‘Thank U, Next’ got me through some s**t, and I think it deserves this more than anything in the world.”
Her brother later explained her reluctance to receive the award, “We were both kind of embarrassed to win so much; you hope that it will be kind of equal, but after the third in a row…well, we love all of our fellow nominees.”
She also had an unlikely reaction to her Oscar performance. Despite getting rave reviews online, she said it could have been better. “I bombed that performance,” she said. “That was trash.”
