Tonight, at the 2022 Grammy Awards, Olivia Rodrigo took home the trophy for Best Pop Vocal Album. Her hit debut Sour beat out LPs by Justin Bieber (Justice (Triple Chucks Deluxe)), Doja Cat (Planet Her (Deluxe)), Billie Eilish (Happier Than Ever), and Ariana Grande (Positions).
“When I was nine years old, I told my mom I was going to be an Olympic gymnast even though I could barely do a cartwheel and she thought I was joking,” Rodrigo said in her acceptance speech. “So the next week when I told her I was going to win a Grammy, she was very supportive, even though I’m sure thought it was just a little kid pipe dream. I want to thank my mom for being supportive of all of my dreams, no matter how crazy.”
Earlier in the night, Rodrigo won the Grammy for Best New Artist. She was nominated in six categories total at tonight’s ceremony. Her breakout single “Drivers License” is up for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance, while Sour is among the LPs vying for Album of the Year.
