Billie Eilish: The Rise of a Superstar — page 1 — Billie Eilish at the Grammy Awards in 2020

Billie Eilish: The Rise of a Superstar — page 2 — Billie Eilish's look at the 2020 Grammy Awards was unique Her hair had neon green roots and she wore long green fingernails to match Her black Gucci suit sparkled with rhinestones The suit was baggy and flowing just the way she liked all of her clothing Amidst rising worries about a new virus she topped her outfit off with a sparkly mask She was comfortable and ready to see how the awards ceremony would play out Eilish was up for six Grammy Awards for her album When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go She would also be performing later that night But all of that didn't mean she didn't feel out of her element I feel like I'm not supposed to be here she said on the red carpet I feel like they accidentally let in a fan When she heard her song bad guy announced as Song of the Year she covered her mouth in surprise The crowd around her jumped up to applaud Eilish stood and pulled her brother and collaborator Finneas O'Connell along with her to the stage 7

Billie Eilish: The Rise of a Superstar — page 3 — Eilish left and her brother Finneas O'Connell gave a speech after bad guy won the Grammy for Song of the Year Why Wow she said beginning her first Grammy speech I never thought this would ever happen in my whole life I feel like I joke around a lot and I never take anything seriously at these kinds of things but I genuinely want to say I'm so grateful I only want to say that I'm grateful and I'm honored to be here amongst you She went on to thank her team her parents her friends and anyone else she could think of before she passed the microphone to O'Connell Eilish realized she had missed a few people in her speech But she'd have plenty more chances to thank them Soon she was back onstage to accept the Best New Artist award Alone at the mic this time Eilish was excited and overwhelmed But at the same time she was poised and ready She gratefully added her fans to her list of people 8
