See How 7 Grammy Artists Made Their Hits - The New York Times
The 62nd annual Grammy Awards are Sunday night at 8 p.m. on CBS.
Seven nominated artists — Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Rosalía, Bon Iver and FKA twigs — opened up their voice notes, hard drives, text messages and memories to Joe Coscarelli and our Diary of a Song team, revealing how they made their tracks.
