Ah, the Grammys—the night when music’s brightest stars come together, and some are left wondering, “What do I need to do to finally get my moment in the spotlight?” Well, this year has seen some electrifying first-time winners, and yet, despite the glitz and glamour, it’s not all confetti and champagne. Take Sierra Ferrell, for instance. This talented folk singer snagged four—yes, four—prestigious awards, including Best American Roots Performance and Best Americana Album. But here’s the kicker: all her victories fell under genre-specific categories, which meant she didn’t get to hop up on that main stage and deliver a speech. I mean, can you imagine finally winning and then being cut out of the celebration like a bad cameo in a sitcom? Talk about bittersweet! But don’t worry; we’re here to celebrate Sierra and the other incredible artists who finally got their dues. So, let’s dive into how these winners have shaped the music scene! <a href="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2025-02/3/15/campaignimages/baf42422e7c7/7-artists-who-finally-won-their-first-ever-grammy-3-4068-1738595778-0dblbig.jpg”>LEARN MORE.
Of this year’s first-time winners, it was folk singer Sierra Ferrell who took home the most awards.
However, because they were all genre-specific (Best American Roots Performance, Best American Roots Song, Best Americana Performance and Best Americana Album), Sierra didn’t get to make any of her acceptance speeches during the main event.
