Pop stars Billie Eilish Kylie Minogue were among the stars to scoop early Grammys during the pre-telecast ceremony.
The 66th annual ceremony is taking place at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles, with the main ceremony presented by Trevor Noah. This marks the comedian’s fourth consecutive year of hosting duties.
Eilish and her brother, producer and co-writer Finneas O’Connell appeared onstage to accept the Best Song Written for Visual Media for their hit single “What Was I Made For?” from the Barbie album.
The US pop star said she was “in awe” and “grateful every second of my life” for the recognition she has received over the years.
“I am shocked,” the 22-year-old said, also taking time to thank Barbie director Greta Gerwig and producer/star Margot Robbie for allowing her to make a song that “saved [her] a little bit”.
Australian pop icon Minogue was also honoured for Best Pop Dance recording for hit “Padam Padam”, which went viral last summer.
Meanwhile, Phoebe Bridgers was stunned as she and her boygenius bandmates, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, scooped three Grammy Awards before the main ceremony had even started, for their critically adored debut album, the record.
The trio picked up the gongs for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance for their hit single “Not Strong Enough”, as well as the Best Alternative Music Album award for The Record.

After they won best rock song, Baker said: “All I ever wanted to do was be in a band. I feel like music is the language I used to find my family.”

Bridgers added: “I owe these boys everything, I love you guys so much, you’re the best.”
Following their third win, the stunned trio returned to the stage with Bridgers saying: “What the hell.”
She added: “This is so incredible, we’re just screaming backstage – it’s just been a constant scream.”
Here are all the winners so far at the 2024 Grammy Awards (we’ll be updating this list regularly as the night goes on). You can find the full list of nominated artists here.
