Fans were happy to welcome Taylor during the celebration.
Billie Eilish
At 19, Billie has become one of the most successful singers of this generation. Her name always tops the music charts. She is also one of the best-known artists during the most famous musical ceremonies for winning awards in the main categories. This year, she received with her brother Finneas the Grammy for Record of the Year for her song "Everything I Wanted." In the music video for this song, she is in a car with her brother, sinking into the deepest, darkest part of the ocean. Another recognition of her: her sensitivity and her unique voice earned him the opportunity to sing the theme of the new James Bond film "No Time to Die."

Finally, H.E.R.'s "I Can't Breathe" took home a Grammy for Song of the Year. The song became an anthem for the Black Lives Matter movement, in which it addresses in its lyrics the death of George Floyd, one of the most famous victims of police brutality in the United States towards the black community. Through his powerful message, H.E.R. showed that more than worrying about topping the music charts, real artists use their voices to talk about what really matters.
All of these amazing women continue to inspire female communities to speak up, be themselves, and never lose the conviction to move forward with their dreams and talents.
