It Was Worth The Wait For Alessia

Juno's 2020

It took three months for Alessia Cara to get around to it but Monday, June 29th, the 23-year old Brampton Ontario finally hosted the 2020 Juno Awards, albeit virally after the original televised presentation in Saskatoon originally scheduled for Sunday, March 15th, was cancelled due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic.

And last night’s viral ceremony proved to be a personal triumph for Cara as she won three Juno Awards; Album Of The Year and Pop Album Of The Year (for `The Pains Of Growing’) and Songwriter Of The Year (for “Growing Pains”, “Out Of Love” and “Rooting For You”).
