Smith had already won the Grammy for best new artist Sunday, and “In the Lonely Hour” was honored as best pop vocal album. Smith recently gave songwriting credits to Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne because of the song’s resemblance to Petty’s hit I Won’t Back Down. He competed with the songs All About That Bass, performed by Meghan Trainor; Chandelier, performed by Sia; Shake It Off, performed by Taylor Swift; and Take Me to Church, performed by Hozier.
