Popsugar Entertainment Award Season Who Won Their First Grammy at the 2020 Grammy Awards? Meet the First-Time Grammy Winners of 2020 27 January 2020 by Stacey Nguyen Image Source: Getty / Alberto E. Rodriguez The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards marked first wins for many artists, both budding and seasoned. Among the first-time musical champs that had an incredible night: the history-making Billie Eilish, who brought home a whopping five awards, and Lizzo, who left with three awards out of her eight nominations this year. Between big names like Eilish and Lizzo, many others at the 2020 Grammys received their debut awards outside of the major categories featured during the nighttime ceremony — think Sara Bareilles for best American roots performance and Michelle Obama (that Michelle Obama!) for best spoken word album. Ahead, we've pulled together a list of all the first-time winners of the year, so get ready to make a playlist of all their top-notch work. 1 Billie Eilish Image Source: Getty / Kevin Winter Billie Eilish dominated the awards with five wins for record ("Bad Guy"), album (When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?), and song ("Bad Guy") of the year in addition to best new artist and pop vocal album (When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?). Billie was the youngest artist in history to receive the album of the year award, a record previously held by Taylor Swift. 1 / 26 2 Finneas O'Connell Image Source: Getty / Kevin Winter Eilish's brother and collaborator, Finneas, snagged five Grammys for best engineered album (nonclassical) as well as record, album, song, and producer (nonclassical) of the year. 2 / 26 3 Lizzo Image Source: Getty / Kevin Winter Lizzo reigned triumphant with three Grammys for best pop solo performance ("Truth Hurts"), traditional R&B performance ("Jerome"), and urban contemporary album (Cuz I Love You). 3 / 26 4 Lil Nas X Image Source: Getty / Kevin Winter In addition to his mesmerising performance, Lil Nas X picked up two awards for "Old Town Road," one for best music video and another for best pop duo/group performance. 4 / 26 5 Tyler, the Creator Image Source: Getty / Kevin Winter Wearing a couple of memorable outfits and giving a performance to remember, Tyler, the Creator won in the rap album category for Igor. 5 / 26 6 Michelle Obama Image Source: Getty / MARTIN SYLVEST / Contributor The former first lady won an award for best spoken word album for her memoir, Becoming. 6 / 26 7 Nipsey Hussle Image Source: Getty / Steve Granitz Though he tragically passed away in 2019, Nipsey Hussle posthumously won his first Grammys for best rap/sung performance ("Higher") and best rap performance ("Racks in the Middle"). 7 / 26 8 DJ Khaled Image Source: Getty / Steve Granitz While he's known for catchphrase "another one," the Grammy for best rap/sung performance, an honour shared with John Legend and Nipsey Hussle, was Dr Khaled's first one. 8 / 26 9 J.
