LOS ANGELES, Jan 27 — Teenage pop iconoclast Billie Eilish today bested a packed field of contenders to take home the prestigious Grammy for Album of the Year for her acclaimed work When we all fall asleep, where do we go?.

The 18-year-old Eilish won the prize over other mainstream newcomers including Lizzo and Lil Nas X, as well as a slate of veteran alternative acts including Vampire Weekend, Bon Iver and Lana Del Rey.

The goth-leaning artist was among this year’s most-nominated artists with six nods, and became the youngest person nominated in all of the top four categories.

It was her fourth Grammy of the night. — AFP
