His first album, Hozier, will be eligible at this year’s Grammy Awards, where he is also nominated for Best New Artist, a trophy pundits have him pegged as the frontrunner for. 2 on charts, as Hozier was invited to perform at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show-a gig typically reserved for the likes of Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, and Taylor Swift-and duetted with Annie Lennox at the 2015 Grammy Awards, where “Take Me to Church” was nominated for Song of the Year.
It’s fitting that the two collaborated for the night’s big climax, as it would be hard to argue for two stars having a bigger impact or a faster rise.Īfter being invited to perform on Saturday Night Live last fall, “Take Me to Church” exploded.
