This rendition allowed Howard’s deeply personal lyrics to really shine through. As well, the occasional smile on her face throughout the performance conveyed the true passion Howard has for her music.
Ultimately, this “Short And Sweet” performance is anything but that. In fact, it proves the versatility Howard brings to all of her work. Whether it’s a soulful ballad or guitar-heavy rocktune, Howard can effortlessly cross through different genres in everything she creates.

However, Howard’s “Stay High” did win Best Rock Song at the Grammys. In her acceptance speech, Howard thanked her managers, her family and her sister Jaime.
Collectively, Howard’s 2021 Grammy nominations spanned four different genre categories. Back in December, she revealed to Entertainment Weekly that it’s incredibly gratifying to have one album nominated in multiple genre categories.
“The thing I was most excited about, honestly, is one album being nominated for so many different genres,” Howard told Entertainment Weekly. “That’s really unusual. That’s exactly how I wanted it to go, because I like all kinds of music and I create my music just with whatever I’ve heard before.”
Now that the Grammys are over, Howard is preparing to perform songs off Jaime of later this year. She is set to appear at Life Is Beautiful in Las Vegas on Sept. 17. Green Day, HAIM, Tame Impala, Eilish and Modest Mouse are among the headliners this year. More information on the festival is available here.
