Olivia Rodrigo took home 2 awards on CBS’s #GRAMMYs telecast, including the much-coveted Best New Artist, to go along with a win for Best Pop Vocal Album for her album ‘Sour.’ 
In one of her acceptance speeches, the 19-year-old thanked her parents for their unyielding support. ‘When I was 9 years old, I told my mom I was going to be an Olympic gymnast even though I could barely do a cartwheel and she thought I was joking but I got super defensive.'
'So the next week, when I told her I was going to win a Grammy, she was very supportive even though I'm sure she thought it was just a little-kid pipe dream,’ Rodrigo said.
Despite those impressive wins, Rodrigo was shut out in 3 of the GRAMMYs’ ‘Big 4,’ losing out on Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Album of the Year despite being heavily favored in all 3 categories ahead of the telecast.
Jon Batiste’s ‘WE ARE’ ended up taking home the Grammy for Album of the Year. Meanwhile, ‘Leave the Door Open,’ the debut single of the Bruno Mars/Anderson .Paak collab group Silk Sonic, took home wins for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
