Siblings Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell nabbed the Grammy for song of the year, becoming the first three-time winners in the history of the category.
The duo previously won in 2020 for “Bad Guy” and 2024 for “What Was I Made For?” This marked the 10th total Grammy win for the musical duo.
The pair won the award for “Wildflower,” a hit from Eilish‘s 2024 album “Hit Me Hard and Soft” that was re-released as a single last year. The song was also up for record of the year.
Here’s the winners list for the 2026 Grammy Awards, updating live. The night’s major awards went to Olivia Dean for new artist, Billie Eilish and Finneas for song, Kendrick Lamar with SZA for record and Bad Bunny for album.
Eilish used her acceptance speech to speak out against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids that have turned violent across the country.
“No one is illegal on stolen land,” she said on Sunday. “It’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. I feel really hopeful in this room and like we just need to keep fighting, speaking up and protesting. Our voices really matter.”
Eilish and O’Connell both wore “ICE Out” pins on their jacket lapels.
