British singer Olivia Dean won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist on Sunday in Los Angeles. The singer became popular after the album “The Art of Loving” gained many listeners online. The award is given to artists who become famous in a short time. During the speech, Dean thanked family members and talked about immigrant roots. Some people at the event wore protest pins about immigration, showing that social topics can appear at music shows.
The Grammy group added a new rule this year. Artists who worked on big albums can still join the category if the role was small. Experts say the rule keeps the award modern and fair. Many fans believe the win will support the singer’s career and bring more concerts soon. The singer is now part of a famous group of past winners. This moment may help the career grow and reach new fans around the world.
