Grammy Awards 2021: All the winners from the biggest night in music

The 2021 Grammy Awards took place tonight (14 March) with a virtual ceremony broadcasted live from Los Angeles, with some of the most stunning red carpet looks of awards season 2021.

The annual show, which celebrates the biggest hits in music over the past year, was riddled with controversy prior to the night with artists such as The Weeknd and Zayn Malik being vocal about boycotting the Recording Academy after being left off the nominations list, alongside many other Grammy snubs this year.

These are the best beauty looks at the Grammy Awards 2021

However, that didn’t take away from the big winners of the night, many of whom showed up via video to accept their awards and thank their fans, family and the Grammys for the accolade.

Beyoncé dominated this year’s nominations with nine nods, while Dua Lipa, Roddy Ricch and Taylor Swift followed closely with six each.

Here are all the winners from the night…
