Music keeps this world going round, and as such, this year’s Grammy Awards included some of the fiercest competition in years! On Sunday, musicians like Megan Thee Stallion, Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes fame, Dua Lipa, and more came together to celebrate one of the most fascinating years in music. Some have earned epic nominations, like Beyoncé racking up nine nods and being crowned the most-nominated artist of the year, or Roddy Ricch and Taylor Swift earning six nominations each. Others are there to pull out on the stops onstage and show us the best of their best with their performances.
At 9 years old, Blue Ivy Carter became the second youngest Grammy winner for her contributions to mom Beyoncé’s “Brown Skin Girl” video. It seems Beyoncé might be the key to winning Grammys, as Megan Thee Stallion also took home one for best rap performance for her remix of “Savage” with the singer. And to cap it all, Beyoncé wound up breaking a record and winning her 28th Grammy award — so she’s probably the real winner of the night overall. Although this ceremony isn’t going down without a fair bit of criticism for some troubling nomination choices, it was still an undeniably amazing night for the winning artists!
Check out our list of winners so far as we keep this page updated throughout the night!
