Billie Eilish performed “What Was I Made For?” her original song off the Barbie soundtrack at the Grammys. Sitting on a stool accompanied by her brother Finneas on piano and a string section, Eilish gave the song intimacy suited for a lounge rather than an awards show. As teased on her Instagram account, Eilish’s appearance paid tribute to Barbie dolls from the 1960s.
