Even though she was nominated in six different categories, Olivia Rodrigo did not win a covented trophy at the 2024 Grammys last Sunday.
The Filipino American singer/songwriter's "Vampire" was nominated for three Grammys — Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance — while Guts is up for both Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album and album cut "ballad of a homeschooled girl" earned Rodrigo her first-ever nod in the Rock Category (for Best Rock song).
This year, Olivia was up against some strong competition, losing out to Miley Cyrus and the current unstoppable force, Taylor Swift, in the pop categories.
In 2022, she won three Grammys for her debut Sour album back in 2022. Those Grammy wins were Best Pop Solo Performance with "Drivers License," Best New Artist with Sour and Best Pop Vocal Album for Sour."
“I love singing about rage,” Rodrigo told the Associated Press before the awards show. “I think I’m a very happy kind of, you know, generally excited person. And I think that in my music and my songwriting, I can kind of express parts of myself that are not so easy to talk about in everyday life… I love just having a song where I can kind of scream and get all of my emotions out. I think it’s so therapeutic.”
