Grammys 2021: Billie Eilish wins Record of the Year for 'Everything I Ever Wanted', fans say 'she didn't deserve this'
Billie Eilish has won the 2021 Grammy Award for Record of the Year for 'Everything I Ever Wanted'. Eilish has won the award in this category for two consecutive years. She is the first soloist artist to achieve this since Roberta Flack. Fans were extremely pleased with her seventh Grammy win. She racked up five out of six last year, and two this year. The other one was for the category Song Written for Visual Media for 'No Time to Die'.
Record of the Year goes to the performer but recipients can include the singer, producers, engineers and other team members that created the recording. The award has previously gone to classics from Henri Mancini‘s 'Moon River' to Whitney Houston‘s 'I Will Always Love You' and Adele‘s 'Rolling in the Deep,' to name just a few.

'Just take your award and go'
Fans discussed Eilish's reaction after taking the award, when she dedicated her award to Megan Thee Stallion. "What Billie Eilish did at the end was childish... it’s like, pls just take your award and go. We really not about to make it a pity party for Megan. She’s fine. #Grammys," said one. "Tired of White woman being all talk and no action. If Billie Eilish didn’t feel she deserved that award, then don’t accept it and leave that shit on the stage. What is “I don’t deserve it but I’m taking it home anyway teehee, thanks!” gonna do for anyone??" said another.
