Going into Sunday’s 64th annual Grammy Awards, Olivia Rodrigo was a heavy favorite in the Big Four categories — record and song of the year for “Drivers License,” album of the year for Sour, and best new artist.

So was her big night dashed because she didn’t repeat Billie Eilish’s 2020 Big Four sweep? Or should we be saying “good 4 her” for bagging three Grammys at her very first ceremony? On the latest Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, we’re talking all about Rodrigo’s big night and why no one should count her out. We even flash back to Taylor Swift’s first Grammy night to recap how she fared back in 2008. Since the singer/songwriter has served as a big inspiration in Rodrigo’s career, we’re taking a look at how many of Swift’s now-42 nominations she scored that first year.
Listen below to hear all about it.
Also on the show, Harry Styles released the brand-new song “As It Was” last week, the first taste of his upcoming Harry’s House album, and we’re talking all about the buzzy new song and video. Oh, and who will join Styles and Billie Eilish in the desert now that Kanye West has dropped out as a Coachella headliner? We’ll talk about all that and more.
