It was American music’s night of nights on Sunday evening, with the 67th Annual Grammy Awards moving ahead in Los Angeles despite the city’s ongoing recovery from savage fires. In a crowded year for pop music, Chappell Roan took home Best New Artist just a week after claiming the number one spot in Triple J’s Hottest 100.
Local pop prince Troye Sivan also missed out. Picking up a nomination for the second year in a row for Best Dance Pop Recording for ‘Got Me Started’, he (the only male artist nominated in the category) lost to Charli XCX, whose track ‘Von Dutch’ took home the prize.
