Did the Grammys shake things up in 2020?
The biggest night in music arrived on Sunday, January 26 — and the women were at the front of the pack. Lizzo led the nominations list with eight nods while Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X earned six nominations each.
This year was the first time two artists have landed nominations in the big four general categories: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist. Eilish,17, is also the youngest nominee to ever receive noms in all four.
