At 2020 Grammys, Could Billie Eilish Surpass Taylor Swift as Youngest Artist to Win Album Of the Year?

Vaughn Meader was 27 on May 15, 1963, when The First Family, a spoof of President John F. Kennedy and his family, took the award. (The Newhart and Meader recordings are the only comedy albums to win album of the year.) President Kennedy's assassination six months and one week after Meader's Grammy win all but ended his career.

Barbra Streisand was 22 years and 18 days old on May 12, 1964, when her debut album The Barbra Streisand Album took the award.  Streisand's album included "Cry Me a River" and her torchy ballad version of the rousing Depression-era song "Happy Days Are Here Again." Streisand would hold the distinction of the youngest category winner for nearly 32 years.

Alanis Morissette was 21 years and 242 days old on Feb. 28, 1996, when her first U.S. album, Jagged Little Pill, won the award. The album included such classics as "You Oughta Know" and "Ironic." Morissette held the distinction for nearly 14 years.

Swift was 20 years and 49 days old on Jan. 31, 2010, when her sophomore album, Fearless, took the award. The album included such hits as "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me." Swift has held the distinction for nearly a decade. Will she continue to hold the record after Jan. 26, or will Eilish (who will be 18 years and 39 days old on Grammy night) take the title? Place your bets.

What does it mean that only female artists have held the youngest-winner-ever distinction since 1964? Discuss amongst yourselves.
