Best of the Night: Billie EilishActually Looks Happier Than Ever
Did Billie Eilish even know she was performing at the Grammys? The way she rocked out while singing “Happier Than Ever,” jumping up and down and smiling at her brother, guitarist-producer Finneas, she seemed like she was owning a moment all her own. Not even pouring rain — or the fact that she would walk away with zero trophies among the seven she was nominated for, an egregious shutout given the year she had — could ruin the good time she was having on top of a prop mobile home as she belted “Just leave me aloooo-ho-ho-hone.” But she didn’t lose herself completely; she still remembered to hold up her T-shirt, repping late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, sharing in her triumph.

Oh, my life is changing everyday In every possible way And oh, my dreams It’s never quite as it seems (Never quite as it seems)
I know I felt like this before But now I’m feeling it even more Because it came from you Then I open up and see The person falling here is me A different way to be C’mon
La ah La, ah, ah, ah La, ah, ah, ah La, ah, ah, ah La ah ah ah
I want more, impossible to ignore Impossible to ignore (And they’ll come true) And they’ll come true Impossible not to do Impossible not to do
And now I tell you openly You have my heart, so don’t hurt me You’re what I couldn’t find A totally amazing mind So understanding and so kind You’re everything to me Sing it for me! 1, 2, 3, 4
Oh, my life is changing everyday In every possible way (I said, oh, I said oh) And oh, my dreams It’s never quite as it seems ‘Cause you’re a dream to me Dream to me
La, ah La, ah, ah, ah La, ah, ah La ah ah ah Sing on!La, ah La, ah, ah, ah La, ah, ah La ah ah ah Oh oh oh

Lyrics
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Music never lets you down Puts a smile on your face Any time, any place Dancing helps relieve the pain Soothes your mind, makes you happy again Listen to those dancing feet Close your eyes and let go But it don’t mean a thing If it ain’t got that swing Bop-shoo-wa, bop-shoo-wa, bop-shoo-wa
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Spinning all around the floor Just like Rogers and Astaire Who found love without a care Stepping to our favorite tune The good times always end too soon Everybody’s dancing Lift your feet, have some fun Come on everybody, get on your feet Clap your hands Everybody’s screaming
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
