At the GRAMMYs, Billie Eilish accepted her fifth award of the night in a very Billie Eilish manner
A model of acceptance speech concision. Photo: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic The Grammy Awards ran to approximately 4,392 hours this year, or at least, that’s what it felt like. Those of us at home enjoyed a viewing experience composed probably 60 percent of commercials and 40 percent of Grammy.
Anyway, Eilish and her brother/collaborator Finneas O’Connell really cleaned up. Their other acceptance speeches were also earnest, and eloquent, and concise, but by the time they got to the final award of the night — Record of the Year — they’d run out of words of gratitude. So, crying and shaking their heads in disbelief they simply leaned into the mic and, in unison, delivered the most efficient acceptance speech of the whole event: “Thank you.” That’s all, that’s it, short and very sweet.
I understand that, if you haven’t just won all the Grammys and therefore already thanked everyone who needs thanking, failing to acknowledge the people who helped you achieve your current success could be widely construed as rude. And then, it is a special moment you will surely want to commemorate with speeching. But just imagine how much shorter this ceremony could’ve been, if everyone kept their remarks to a choice two words.
