Grammys 2024: Kylie Minogue, Billie Eilish, Joni Mitchell and The Beatles win early awards

Kylie Minogue won best pop dance recording for Padam Padam, the viral hit that became a global smash last year.

Billie Eilish, Boygenius, SZA and Joni Mitchell also won prizes at the afternoon “premiere ceremony” that precedes the main event on Sunday. The Beatles won best music video for a new dream-like animated clip for I’m Only Sleeping.

Eilish won the first of what could be many prizes for her Barbie soundtrack song What Was I Made For? “This is ridiculous and insane. Any time I’m involved in anything like this, I’m shocked,” she said.

“Making this song saved me a little bit,” added the star, who has previously said the track helped her escape a period of writers’ block. What Was I Made For? is also up for two of the night’s main prizes, song of the year and record of the year.

Kylie was not at the ceremony at LA’s Crypto.com Arena, but her co-writer Peter Rycroft (aka Lostboy) picked up the prize on her behalf. The prize arrived 20 years after Kylie’s first Grammy Award, when she won best dance recording for Come Into My World.
