- On Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026, Olivia Dean won Best New Artist at the 68th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, fighting tears as she accepted the award from last year's winner Chappell Roan.
- Dean built momentum through touring and high-profile gigs, including opening for Sabrina Carpenter and performing on Saturday Night Live, before winning her Grammy.
- Onstage she performed 'Man I Need' and used her acceptance speech to celebrate immigrants, saying she is 'a granddaughter of an immigrant,' Dean said.
- The victory solidifies Olivia Dean's place as the ninth consecutive solo female to win Best New Artist and follows Ticketmaster's cap on resale prices and refund offer after her criticism.
- Dean's rise is rooted in Jamaican-Guyanese heritage and a nontraditional path from busking to major-label success, with a historic milestone of four singles simultaneously in the UK Top 10 and Brit Award nominations ahead of the ceremony scheduled for Feb. 28.
