<p>The night turned out to be quite magical for one person though -- 18-year-old artist Billie Eilish who not only got to perform at the Grammys for the first time but took home the four big prizes of the night including Song Of The Year, Artist Of The Year, Record Of The Year and Best New Artist. She also won Best Pop Vocal Album. It was a major loss for Lizzo who had the highest number of nominations at this year's Grammys but lost out to Billie on all big awards. She, however, took home Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Traditional R&amp;B Performance and&nbsp;Best Urban Contemporary Album.&nbsp;</p>
