The 63rd annual Grammy Awards ended Sunday night with Billie Eilish winning record of the year for "Everything I Wanted," then trying to give the Grammy to Megan Thee Stallion, who had already won best new artist and best rap performance (with Beyoncé) for "Savage." "This is really embarrassing for me," Eilish, 19, said in her acceptance speech. "Megan, girl, I was going to write a speech about how you deserve this, but then I was like 'There was no way they're going to choose me. ... You had a year that was incomparable. You're a queen. You deserve it, honestly."
