Billie Eilish was spotted mouthing "please don't be me" before winning her fourth Grammy of the evening on Sunday.
The nominees for best album of the year included Ariana Grande, Bon Iver, Lana Del Rey, H.E.R, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, and Vampire Weekend.
As the nominees were called, Eilish seemed hopeful not to be the winner, mouthing "please don't be me'" before her name was inevitably called out.
“Please don’t be me. Please.”

Eilish seemed to yell "no" when she was revealed as the winner for the award, and she was no less a reluctant victor during her acceptance speech.
"Can I just say that I think Ariana deserves this?" Eilish said.
"'Thank U, Next' got me through some s---, and I think it deserves this more than anything in the world. I love you, thank you so much."
Grande was seen blowing kisses to Eilish, who concluded her short acceptance speech by saying: "I'm not going to waste your time. I'm really not. I love you. Thank you for this."
Eilish had already won three other Grammys before this prize was handed out, including song of the year ("Bad Guy"), best new artist, and best pop vocal album. She also won record of the year ("Bad Guy") shortly after.
At only 18 years old, Eilish made history by becoming the youngest winner of album of the year, beating the record of then-20-year-old Taylor Swift when she won the award for "Fearless" back in 2010.
She is also just the second person to win all four general-field categories in one year after Christopher Cross in 1981. A successful night for Eilish, even if she is reluctant to that fact.
