Grammys

The Youngest Grammy Winners of All Time

The youngest Grammy Awards winners of all time are predominately female. Among the eight youngest winning acts of all time, seven are female – including first-time Grammy winner Billy Eilish who won six categories in the award show last night, among them Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist. Eilish, who has just turned 18, is the fifth youngest winner behind harmony group The Peasall Sisters, who were featured on the O Brother, Where Art Thou? Soundtrack, LeAnn Rimes, Lorde and Mexican singer Luis Miguel. Christina Aguilera also makes the list by having won a Grammy for Genie in a Bottle shortly after her 19th birthday.

Eilish is also the youngest winner ever in the Album of the Year category, dethroning Taylor Swift, and the second-youngest winner for Song of the Year, behind Lorde.
