LOS ANGELES, March 15, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – The soulful 23-year-old R&B
performer H.E.R. pulled an upset in scooping the Grammy for Song of the Year
on Sunday for her justice-minded song “I Can’t Breathe,” which tackles Black
pain and police brutality.
The guitar virtuoso’s single — which debuted in June 2020 in the wake of
mass anti-racism protests following the death in police custody of a Black
man, George Floyd — bested competition from Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Billie
Eilish to win top songwriting honors.
