Music’s Biggest Night wrapped up its 2019-2020 season with a slew of major winners, performances and more. Houston’s own Lizzo captured three Grammys, including Best Pop Solo Performance for “Truth Hurts” Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Jerome” and Best Urban Contemporary Album for Cuz I Love You.

Billie Eilish was the night’s biggest winner as she took home Album, Song, Record of the Year and Best New Artist. She’s the youngest artist to ever sweep the four major award categories at only 18.

Elsewhere, the night belonged to the late Nipsey Hussle. Earlier in the day, he was posthumously awarded Best Rap Performance for “Racks In The Middle” with Roddy Ricch and Hit-Boy and on the Grammy stage, he won Best Rap/Sung Performance for “Higher” with DJ Khaled and John Legend.
