Billie Eilish said she didn't feel "robbed" at the 2022 Grammy Awards, despite walking away with zero new trophies.

Eilish was nominated for seven awards at the event earlier this month, including album of the year for "Happier Than Ever" and record of the year for its title track. She also delivered an electric performance of the song alongside her brother-slash-producer, Finneas O'Connell.

The following day, the siblings were interviewed for Billboard's Managers Issue.

"I had this feeling yesterday at the Grammys because we obviously didn't win anything — I went into the day suspecting we weren't going to win anything," Eilish said.

"And of course, the internet, no matter what happens, is going to be like, 'You were robbed,' and I'm just like, 'I wasn't, I have seven at home. It's OK, it's all good,'" she continued.

The 20-year-old singer-songwriter previously swept all four major categories at the Grammys in 2020, in addition to winning best pop vocal album for her smash debut, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?"

The following year, she took home two more awards, including record of the year for "Everything I Wanted."

O'Connell also told Billboard that winning Grammys doesn't seem as important as it used to.

"We're very fortunate and very blessed, but I don't feel that winning a bunch more Grammys is what's keeping me inspired these days," he said.

Eilish agreed, explaining that she cares more about "making music that touches people."

"I was nominated and that's amazing, but getting up during a commercial break and people coming up to me being like, 'You changed my life, your music gets me through the day,' I'm like, 'That's it,'" she said.
