UMARIBA nang bonggang-bongga ang mga Filipino-American artists na sina Olivia Rodrigo, Bruno Mars, at H.E.R. sa katatapos lamang na 64th Grammy Awards.
Hinakot ni Olivia ang Best New Artist award, Best Pop Solo Performance para sa kanyang “Drivers License,” at Best Pop Vocal Album para sa album niyang “Sour.”
Ang hitmaker namang si Bruno Mars ang nanalo ng Record of the Year at Song of the Year award as part of the R&B duo Silk Sonic alongside Anderson .Paak para sa kanilang “Leave the Door Open.”
Si H.E.R. naman ang nakasungkit ng Best Traditional R&B Performance for her song “Fight for You.”
Samantala, ito ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon na na-nominate sa Grammys si Olivia (a total of seven nominations).
Sa kanyang acceptance speech para sa Best New Artist award, nagpasalamat siya sa Recording Academy at sinabing ang natanggap niyang tropeo sa Grammys ay itinuturing niyang “biggest dream come true.”
Nag-thank you rin siya sa kanyang pamilya, management team, mga kaibigan at sa collaborator niyang si Daniel Nigro.
Inialay naman niya ang napanalunang Best Pop Vocal Album sa kanyang fans at mga magulang, “When I was 9 years old I told my mom that I was gonna be an Olympic gymnast, even though I could barely do a cartwheel.
“She thought I was joking but I was 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 a little kid pipe dream,” pahayag ni Olivia.
“I want to thank my mom for being supportive of all my dreams no matter how crazy.
“And I want to thank my mom and my dad for being equally as proud of me for winning a Grammy as they were when I learned how to do a back walkover. This is for you guys and because of you guys,” pahayag pa ni Olivia.
Ang 64th Annual Grammy Awards ay ginanap sa MGM Grand Garden Arena sa Las Vegas kagabi, April 3 (US time).
