In the spirit of pop culture chaos (and fun arguments), we’re ranking every major Billie Eilish Grammy speech—from the most vulnerable to the most controversial.
Agree? Disagree? Scroll, judge, and then tell us why we’re wrong.
6. “I Shouldn’t Be Here” (2020 – Best New Artist)
Fresh off sweeping the major categories, a visibly overwhelmed Billie questioned whether she even deserved the award.
The moment went viral for its raw honesty and discomfort, setting her apart from polished pop acceptance tropes. Coverage from Rolling Stone praised the speech as refreshingly human.
Why it ranks low: Genuine, but brief—and overshadowed by the night’s bigger moments.
5. “This Is For the Kids Who Feel Weird” (2020 – Album of the Year)
Later that same night, Billie leaned into her outsider identity, dedicating her win to fans who don’t feel like they fit in.
Pop culture sites like Billboard noted how quickly the speech became a quote shared across fan communities.
Why it ranks here: Relatable and heartfelt—but very “classic Billie.”
4. “Artists Deserve Better” (2021 – Record of the Year)
In a more confident phase of her career, Billie used the Grammy stage to push back against industry norms, highlighting artist pressure and mental health.
Music industry commentary from Pitchfork framed the speech as part of a larger generational shift in how young artists use award platforms.
Why it ranks here: Important message, less meme-able delivery.
3. “I’m Still Learning” (2022 – Song of the Year)
This speech landed because of its simplicity. No manifesto—just self-reflection.
Fans on platforms like Reddit still cite it as one of her most emotionally mature moments.
Why it ranks high: Quiet confidence beats shock value sometimes.
2. “Don’t Forget About Climate Change” (2024 – Multiple Wins)
Billie has consistently used her platform to push environmental responsibility, but this speech was the most direct yet.
Environmental coverage from The Guardian highlighted how rare it is for pop stars to make sustainability central—not secondary—to their messaging.
Why it ranks second: Purposeful, timely, and unapologetic.
1. “F—k ICE” (2020 – Political Mic Drop)
The speech that still sparks arguments.
During Grammy weekend events and related appearances, Billie openly criticized U.S. immigration enforcement, delivering a blunt, unscripted statement that ricocheted across social media and news coverage from outlets like The New York Times.
Supporters called it brave. Critics called it inappropriate. Everyone talked about it.
Why it’s #1: Cultural impact, controversy, and conversation—everything a viral moment needs.
