And insofar as the field also included other superstar names in Chappell Roan (“The Subway”), Justin Bieber (“Daisies),” and Lady Gaga (“Disease”), Lola Young was still considered a long shot winner.
But win she did, earning the honor just prior to 10PM ET. The award was one of the few non-“Big Four” trophies to be awarded during the main show.
