The music industry is handing out its top honours today, with acts from teen sensation Olivia Rodrigo to awards darling Billie Eilish and rapper Lil Nas X competing at a star-studded Grammys ceremony in Las Vegas.

Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish are competing for 'album of the year' at this year's Grammy awards.

Grammy watchers say it is tough to predict who will take the biggest prizes other than best new artist, which is widely expected to go to 19-year-old Rodrigo.

Her song drivers license went viral in early 2021.

Rodrigo also is nominated for album, song and record of the year.

If she wins all of those categories, she would become just the third person in Grammys history to sweep the four main awards.

The last artist to accomplish that feat was Eilish at the 2020 Grammys, when she was 18.

Now 20, Eilish is in the running again for album of the year with 'Happier Than Ever'.

The eligibility period for the Grammys ran from September 2020 to September 2021, ending before Adele released her acclaimed album '30'.
