Blue Ivy Carter has won her first-ever Grammy Award. Blue Ivy, who is 9 years old, becomes the second youngest Grammy winner, according to The Recording Academy.
Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, and WizKid beat out Future and Drake’s Life is Good video, Anderson Paak’s Lockdown; Harry Styles’ Adore You, and Woodkid’s Goliath in the Best Video category.
The award show announced the winners today (March 14) — several hours before the annual award show starts. The Grammy goes to the main and featured artists on the track; making Blue a winner and the video’s director and producer.
Brown Skin Girl was directed by Jenn Nkiru and produced by Astrid Edwards, Aya Kaida, Jean Mougin, Nathan Scherrer and Erin Williams.
Within the video, which was part of Beyoncé’s Black is King visual album, Blue sings the chorus wearing a debutante dress. The concept of the video is a celebration of blackness, specifically girls and women with darker skin tones.
