Though Roan was the only queer artist to take home one of the “Big Four” awards — Best New Artist, Doechii, Carpenter, Charlie XCX, Billie Eilish, and Lady Gaga were also all nominated for one or more of the “Big Four.” Carpenter, Roan, and Doechii also shocked audiences with their debut performances, showing us what it really means to be out and loud.
