Youngest Grammy winners of all time span from a seven-year-old album credit to an eighteen-year-old Big Four sweep. This six-slide guide ranks every major age record the Recording Academy still recognizes today.
Blue Ivy Carter was nine when Brown Skin Girl won Best Music Video at the 2021 ceremony. She is the youngest credited winner as a named artist on a competitive Grammy — a milestone distinct from album-ensemble credits.
Leah Peasall was seven when the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack won Album of the Year in 2002. She remains the youngest person ever credited on a winning Grammy album — even if not a solo lead artist.
LeAnn Rimes won Best New Artist at age fourteen in 1997 — one of the youngest solo-category Grammy victories ever. Her teen country-pop breakthrough set a benchmark Billie Eilish later surpassed in different categories.
Lorde won Song of the Year for Royals at seventeen in 2014. Billie Eilish swept Album, Record, Song, and Best New Artist at eighteen in 2020 — the youngest Big Four sweep in Grammy history.
