One year after making history as the youngest artist to win all four general-field categories in a single night, Billie Eilish returned to the Grammys on Sunday (March 14) night to make her mark.
During the Trevor Noah-hosted show, which saw the broadcast round up several performers into one single room in downtown Los Angeles, the pop superstar took to the ceremony to perform "everything I wanted," her 2020 one-off single. With FINNEAS by her side, Eilish wore a jeweled headpiece and stood on top of a car that appeared to be submerged under water similar to her self-directed music video. "And you say, 'As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you/ Don't wanna lie here, but you can learn to/ If I could change the way that you see yourself/ You wouldn't wonder why you hear 'They don't deserve you,'" she delicately crooned alongside FINNEAS.
Earlier in the evening, Eilish took home the award for Song Written for Visual Media for her James Bond theme song, "No Time to Die," marking the first time in history that a song from an unreleased movie won. "It was a dream to make this song, to work on this," she said in a pre-recorded video message after thanking actor Daniel Craig and film director Cary Joji Fukunaga. As for Finneas, who co-wrote the ballad with Eilish, he said, "I feel very lucky to be your brother." In previous years, the track would have been disqualified, but the Recording Academy's Grammy soundtrack committee made a tweak to the rules in light of the pandemic.
