Blue Ivy Carter wins her 1st Grammy Award, She becomes 2nd-youngest winner ever
(LOS ANGELES, CA) GRAMMY’S: Before she’s even hit the double digits, Jay Z & Beyonce’s nine-year-old daughter Blue Ivy has won her first Grammy Award, making her the second youngest person to ever take home an award at the show. Ahead of the 63rd annual ceremony on Sunday night, the Recording Academy announced that Beyoncé’s “Brown Skin Girl,” from “The Lion King: The Gift” album, came out on top in the Best Music Video category, beating out competition from Future’s “Life Is Good,” Anderson .Paak’s “Lockdown,” Harry Styles’ “Adore You,” and Woodkid’s “Goliath.”
Since Blue Ivy is credited as a featured artist and songwriter on the track ― she performs a couple of lines on the song’s outro ― she’s officially a winner, alongside her mom and collaborator WizKid. The record for youngest Grammy winner still belongs to then-8-year-old Leah Peasall of The Peasall Sisters, who were a credited artist on the “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” soundtrack, which won Album Of The Year in 2002.
Rest assured that Blue Ivy already has a slew of awards to keep her company. She previously scored trophies at the BET, NAACP and Soul Train awards for her work on the song, breaking several records in the process.
