At the upcoming Grammys, she’s nominated for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Best New Artist, and more. One of her big hits is “Please Please Please,” which she wrote with Amy Allen and producer Jack Antonoff. He’s won Producer of the Year at the Grammys for the last three years in a row.
