It isn’t easy winning all those Grammys!

Olivia Rodrigo dropped and broke one of her three Grammy trophies while she posed for photos after her big wins at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday.

An image from the event shows Rodrigo, 19, looking surprised as she holds two trophies while the third is on the ground in two pieces.

Taylor Swift famously dropped one of her Grammy awards in 2010 when she posed for pictures after winning four awards that night.

Rodrigo’s three wins on Sunday came for best new artist, best pop vocal album for “sour” and best pop solo performance for her breakthrough single “driver’s license.”

She was nominated for seven awards overall on Sunday, and was the only artist at the ceremony to be a finalist in each of the ceremony’s four top categories of best new artist, album of the year, song of the year and record of the year.

“This is my biggest dream come true,” Rodrigo said during her acceptance speech for best new artist. “Thank you so much.”

Rodrigo’s debut album “sour,” which she released last May, spawned four top 10 hits, including chart-toppers “driver’s license” and “good 4 u.”

Album of the year on Sunday went to Jon Batiste for “We Are,” while the smooth-singing duo Silk Sonic won song and record of the year for “Leave the Door Open.”

LOS ANGELES — Kanye West has bailed on Coachella, where he was to have headlined both of the music festival’s two weekends later this month, The Los Angeles Times has confirmed.

The cancellation leaves the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival with only two weeks to find a new headliner, as West was booked for April 17 and 24. Travis Scott was to have joined the rapper — now known as Ye — but he won’t perform either, according to TMZ, which first reported the news.

Reps for West and for Coachella did not respond immediately to The Times’ request for confirmation or comment Monday.

Ye previously headlined the festival in 2011 and performed his Sunday Service at Coachella on Easter 2019. He threatened earlier this year to pull out of the booking after fellow headliner Billie Eilish didn’t apologize to Scott for something she never said.

On Friday, Page Six cited unnamed sources in reporting that West told ex-wife Kim Kardashian that he was “going away to get help” after weeks of random social media attacks on her and her boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

Cardi B has left the stage.

The Bronx native deleted her Twitter account Sunday after fans got angry that she skipped the Grammys in Las Vegas, but not before wishing death on the mom of one of them.

The 29-year-old rapper was nominated for best rap performance for her song “Up,” but lost to Baby Keem for “Family Ties,” featuring Kendrick Lamar.

“I bet yo son wouldn’t like you to be on your (expletive) while teasing us fans and not ever dropping music,” one person tweeted at her.

“I hope your moms die,” Cardi B responded.

On Instagram Live, which she didn’t delete, she doubled down on her decision not to go to the awards show, even if her fans were clamoring for an appearance.

“Why would I show up with one nomination? And I lost it anyways, so you wanted me to go to the Grammys, lose and award, and me just be there smiling like, ‘That’s great, that’s great,’” she said.

Before she logged off Twitter for good, Cardi B did fight back against a few fans, including one who falsely claimed one of her children has autism.
