The first of the year’s Big Four Grammy Awards has been distributed, and it went to a major betting favorite.
Olivia Dean, considered a near-lock to win the trophy, indeed walked away with Best New Artist.
An emotional Dean accepted the award just shortly after performing alongside her fellow nominees in a medley. Dean’s rendition of “Man I Need” was one of the medley’s standouts.
Hosted by Trevor Noah, the in-progress 68th Annual Grammy Awards broadcast is airing on CBS and Paramount+.
