00:00 I'm the bad guy.
00:03 Billie Eilish truly knows how to turn heads on the red carpet.
00:07 The sensational artist behind "What Was I Made For," a song that's gained her a whopping
00:11 six nominations at this year's Grammy Awards, stepped out in a look that's a far cry from
00:15 her 2022 Cape Jacket sensation.
00:18 What I was made for.
00:23 This year it's all about understated charm with a nod to pop culture iconography.
00:26 And just 22, Eilish sashayed down the carpet in a Chrome Hearts vintage bomber retrofitted
00:31 to give off Barbie vibes, complete with cutesy pink sleeves and chic heart-shaped silver
00:36 buttons.
00:37 And let's not forget the unmistakable Barbie script emblazoned in pink.
00:40 Complementing the jacket with a laid back shirt and classic black trousers, Billie kept
00:43 it cool and casual.
00:45 With seven Grammys under her belt already, Eilish claimed yet another triumph for best
00:49 song written for visual media, even before making her stylish entrance with her brother
00:53 and creative ally, Finneas.
00:56 Staying true to her signature style, she went minimalist on the jewelry but made a splash
00:59 with her vibrant red hair.
01:01 And hey, talk about sibling style.
01:03 Synergy.
01:04 Finneas showed up in an all black ensemble to match his superstar sister.
01:10 The spotlight is on Billie and her brother Finneas who've snagged the coveted Grammy
01:15 for best song written for visual media with their haunting Barbie ballad, "What Was I
01:19 Made For."
01:20 The competition was fierce though guys.
01:22 Something about people hearing the song, I was like, "No!"
01:28 Barbie the album's tracks were nearly sweeping the category featuring hits like Dua Lipa's
01:32 "Dance Tonight," the sensational Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice duo in "Barbie World,"
01:36 and Ryan Gosling's catchy "I'm Just Ken."
01:42 But standing strong among these was Rihanna's powerful anthem "Lift Me Up" from the
01:46 Black Panther/Wakanda Forever soundtrack.
01:52 Billie's "What Was I Made For" didn't stop there.
01:54 It earned nominations across the board including record of the year and song of the year.
01:58 And although Billie's duet "Never Felt So Alone" with Labyrinth was a fan favorite,
02:02 it was SZA and Phoebe Ridgers who ultimately took home the best pop duo/group performance.
02:09 Now let's talk about Billie's stunning Grammy performance that left everyone in the
02:12 audience spellbound.
02:16 With a dramatically minimalistic stage setup, Billie flanked by Finneas delivered a stripped
02:20 down version of "What Was I Made For," her vocals reverberating through the silent
02:24 crowd.
02:25 Dressed in a custom vintage inspired gown with sustainable materials, Billie's performance
02:29 was not just a musical triumph, but a statement of her commitment to eco-conscious artistry.
02:34 The raw emotion in her voice coupled with the delicate instrumentation cast a spell
02:38 of reflection and awe, solidifying her status not only as a winner tonight, but as a timeless
02:43 performer in Grammy history.
