The Grammy backstory: Hillary and Sabrina

If you were curious about how Hillary Clinton won a Grammy, the answer has less to do with singing and more to do with delivering a story. She narrated her book It Takes a Village, which earned her the 1997 Best Spoken Word Album award. Since spoken word CDs belong to a distinct genre that many are not very aware of, people were understandably perplexed when they learned about her Grammy win.

Due in large part to Hillary's striking similarity to Sabrina Carpenter, who posed with a trophy that looked identical in a now-viral photo, the online buzz around her Grammy returned. The two were immediately compared by fans, and the fact that they both had Grammy-style prizes only seemed to fan the flames.
