Twenty-one-year-old singer Alessia Cara took home the Grammy last night for Best New Artist, beating out Lil Uzi Vert, SZA, Khalid, and Julia Michaels.

In summary, she addresses the negativity saying she didn't ask for the award, but she's not going to let people take away from her accomplishments either.
