Alessia Cara has just been named the Best New Artist at the 2018 Grammy Awards, giving her what is perhaps the most highly-coveted trophy, since a musician can only be nominated once. She beat out SZA, Julia Michaels, Khalid and Lil Uzi Vert for the honor. Coming into tonight, the singer was up for four prizes in her first year at the Grammys—Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Best Short Form Music Video and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. She first broke into the mainstream with her debut single “Here,” which took its time reaching its No. Since her debut album (the one that made her well-known to the public) was released in November 2015, she should have been eligible for Best New Artist at the 2017 Grammys, where she wasn’t nominated for anything.
