This year’s Grammy Awards were a night to remember, especially for Taylor Swift! She walked away with her fourth album of the year trophy with Midnights, becoming the first solo artist to do so, and used this moment to tease her next LP The Tortured Poets Department.

Swift’s Midnights came into the ceremony as the front-runner for album of the year trophy, and it lived up to the hype. While collecting her Grammy, Swift expressed gratitude to her passionate fanbase and told them she has a new album on the way on April 19, titled The Tortured Poets Department.

Miley Cyrus also had a reason to celebrate after defeating tough competition to win record of the year award with “Flowers”. This smash hit was also nominated for song of the year, but lost out to Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?”, while Victoria Monét was crowned the best new artist.

It was also a big night for Phoebe Bridgers, who picked up a total of four trophies at this year’s Grammys, including three with her supergroup Boygenius. SZA, Victoria Monét, and Killer Mike were also honored with three awards apiece.

The 2024 Grammy Awards were held on February 4 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with Trevor Noah returning to host the show for the fourth time.

After a lot of anticipation, the Grammy Awards nominations are finally in, and SZA emerged as this year’s front-runner. She’ll be competing for nine awards at the upcoming ceremony after emerging as the main contender for album, record, and song of the year.

SZA’s SOS is one of the defining albums of the past year, and the Recording Academy recognized its enormous success. It’s one of the nominees for album of the year alongside, Taylor Swift’s Midnights, Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts, Janelle Monáe’s The Age of Pleasure, Miley Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation, Lana Del Rey’s Ocean Blvd, Boygenius’s The Record, and Jon Batiste’s World Music Radio.

SZA’s chart-topping revenge anthem “Kill Bill” is set to compete in both the song and record of the year categories at the Grammys. It will share the spotlight with several other tracks that made it to both fields, including Swift’s “Anti-Hero”, Rodrigo’s “Vampire”, Cyrus’ “Flowers”, Batiste’s “Butterfly”, and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?”

When it comes to the rest of the nominees, Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and Serban Ghenea are right behind SZA with seven nods each. The upcoming Grammys will also be a night to remember for Jon Batiste, Brandy Clark, Boygenius, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift, who scored six nominations apiece.

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards will return to LA’s Crypto Arena on February 4, 2024, and the Recording Academy is yet to choose the host.

After a lot of anticipation, the Grammys finally returned to LA on Sunday and gave us another night to remember. Beyoncé made history as the most-awarded artist at the Grammys with a total of 32 wins, while Harry Styles and Lizzo picked up two of the night’s main awards.

This year’s ceremony was quite historic for Beyoncé, who scored a total of nine nominations to tie the all-time record for the most-nominated artist with her husband Jay-Z. She managed to win four awards on Sunday thanks to her new album Renaissance, becoming the most-awarded artist of all time with a total of 32 trophies.

Harry Styles also had a reason to celebrate after he walked away with two major awards thanks to the success of Harry’s House: album of the year and best pop vocal album. As for Lizzo, she defeated tough competition to win the record of the year with “About Damn Time”.

This year’s Grammy’s delivered a few shockers in the Big Four categories—most notably Bonnie Raitt’s unexpected win for the song of the year with “Just Like That”. It was equally surprising to see the jazz singer Samara Joy collect the trophy for the best new artist, beating the likes of Måneskin, Anitta, and Latto.

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards were held on February 5 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with Trevor Noah returning as a host.

We’ve spent months waiting for the Recording Academy to unveil nominations for this year’s Grammy Awards and they certainly didn’t disappoint. Beyoncé is leading the way with nine nods, closely followed by Kendrick Lamar with eight and Adele, Harry Styles, and Brandi Carlile with seven.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance, Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, Harry Styles’ Harry’s House, Adele’s 30, and Carlile’s In These Silent Days will have to face tough competition in Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti and Lizzo’s Special.

Many of the artists running for album of the year are also among the main competitors for song and record of the year. The list of nominees in both of these categories includes the likes of Adele’s “Easy on Me”, Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul”, Harry Styles’ “As It Was”, Lizzo’s “About Damn Time”, and Kendrick Lamar’s “The Heart Part 5”.

The list of major nominees also includes the likes of Mary J. Blige, Future, and record producer The-Dream with six nods each. The Grammy Awards ceremony will be held on February 5, 2023, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with CBS and Paramount+ broadcasting the live show.

Batiste received a total of 11 nods at this year’s Grammys, but the album of the year was the only award that he picked up in the main field. He also picked up two trophies in the American Roots categories, in addition to winning the award for the best music video for “Freedom” and best score soundtrack, shared with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for their work on Soul.

Silk Sonic, the super-duo formed by Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, came into the night with four nominations and won all the awards it was nominated for. They owe their triumph to their hit single “Leave the Door Open”, which won trophies for record and song of the year, best R&B performance, and best R&B song.

The list of major winners with three awards each included Olivia Rodrigo, D’Mile, Foo Fighters, Chris Stapleton, and CeCe Winans. The 64th Annual Grammy Awards were held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 3 with Trevor Noah hosting the show.

The Grammy Awards wouldn’t be the same without amazing performances by our favorite artists and we finally know who’s going to grace the stage at the upcoming ceremony. The first round of performers is out and it includes the likes of Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and BTS.

Eilish and Rodrigo are obvious choices since they’re both nominated for seven awards, including album, record, and song of the year. Eilish is in the running with her second studio album Happier Than Ever, while Rodrigo owes her nominations to her debut album Sour and chart-topping single “Drivers License”. BTS has been nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with their smash hit “Butter”.

Brothers Osborne, Brandi Carlile, and Lil Nas X with Jack Harlow are also set to perform at the Grammys with the rest of the performers yet to be announced. Lil Nas X and Carlile have been nominated for five awards, while Brothers Osborne and Harlow received two nods each.

The 2022 Grammy Awards are taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 3, with Trevor Noah serving as a host. The list of major nominees includes Jon Batiste with eleven nominations, and Doja Cat, H.E.R., and Justin Bieber with eight each.

There’s been a lot of rumors circling around about the potential delay of the upcoming Grammy Awards and the Recording Academy just made things official. The 64th Annual Grammy Awards have been put on hold in the face of the Omicron surge.

The Recording Academy and CBS announced they’re postponing the ceremony in a joint statement, explaining they made this decision after careful consideration and analysis with city and state officials, health and safety experts.

“The health and safety of those in our music community, the live audience, and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to produce our show remain our top priority. Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31 simply contains too many risks,” reads the statement.

The Grammys were originally scheduled to be held on January 31, with Trevor Noah serving as host. It’s unclear what the future holds for this ceremony and we’re yet to see if other major award shows will follow suit and be postponed.

Jon Batiste topped this year’s list of Grammy nominees with a total of 11 nods, including the album and record of the year. He’s followed by Doja Cat, H.E.R., and Justin Bieber with eight nominations each.

If you’ve needed another proof of Beyoncé’s absolute domination of the music industry, this year’s Grammy Awards will give you one. The R&B icon topped the list of winners with four awards and became the most rewarded artists in Grammy history.

Beyoncé topped the list of Grammy winners after dominating in four categories—the best rap performance and rap song with the remix of Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage”, the best R&B performance with “Black Parade”, and the best music video with “Brown Skin Girl”. By doing so, she brought her total to 28 wins, tying Quincy Jones as the artists with the second-most wins.

Beyoncé was closely followed by her “Savage” collaborator Megan Thee Stallion, who collected three awards, including the best new artist. The general field was dominated by female artists, as women collected all four big awards of the night.

Taylor Swift became the first female artist to win the album of the year three times thanks to her latest victory with Folklore. Billie Eilish collected the record of the year award with “Everything I Wanted”, while H.E.R. had to beat tough competition to win the song of the year with “I Can’t Breathe”.

The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards took place on March 14th, with Trevor Noah hosting the show.

This year’s Grammy Awards were a night to remember, especially for Taylor Swift! She walked away with her fourth album of the year trophy with Midnights, becoming the first solo artist to do so, and used this moment to tease her next LP The Tortured Poets Department.

Swift’s Midnights came into the ceremony as the front-runner for album of the year trophy, and it lived up to the hype. While collecting her Grammy, Swift expressed gratitude to her passionate fanbase and told them she has a new album on the way on April 19, titled The Tortured Poets Department.

Miley Cyrus also had a reason to celebrate after defeating tough competition to win record of the year award with “Flowers”. This smash hit was also nominated for song of the year, but lost out to Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?”, while Victoria Monét was crowned the best new artist.

It was also a big night for Phoebe Bridgers, who picked up a total of four trophies at this year’s Grammys, including three with her supergroup Boygenius. SZA, Victoria Monét, and Killer Mike were also honored with three awards apiece.

After a lot of anticipation, the Grammy Awards nominations are finally in, and SZA emerged as this year’s front-runner. She’ll be competing for nine awards at the upcoming ceremony after emerging as the main contender for album, record, and song of the year.

SZA’s SOS is one of the defining albums of the past year, and the Recording Academy recognized its enormous success. It’s one of the nominees for album of the year alongside, Taylor Swift’s Midnights, Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts, Janelle Monáe’s The Age of Pleasure, Miley Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation, Lana Del Rey’s Ocean Blvd, Boygenius’s The Record, and Jon Batiste’s World Music Radio.

SZA’s chart-topping revenge anthem “Kill Bill” is set to compete in both the song and record of the year categories at the Grammys. It will share the spotlight with several other tracks that made it to both fields, including Swift’s “Anti-Hero”, Rodrigo’s “Vampire”, Cyrus’ “Flowers”, Batiste’s “Butterfly”, and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?”

When it comes to the rest of the nominees, Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and Serban Ghenea are right behind SZA with seven nods each. The upcoming Grammys will also be a night to remember for Jon Batiste, Brandy Clark, Boygenius, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift, who scored six nominations apiece.

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards will return to LA’s Crypto Arena on February 4, 2024, and the Recording Academy is yet to choose the host.

After a lot of anticipation, the Grammys finally returned to LA on Sunday and gave us another night to remember. Beyoncé made history as the most-awarded artist at the Grammys with a total of 32 wins, while Harry Styles and Lizzo picked up two of the night’s main awards.

This year’s ceremony was quite historic for Beyoncé, who scored a total of nine nominations to tie the all-time record for the most-nominated artist with her husband Jay-Z. She managed to win four awards on Sunday thanks to her new album Renaissance, becoming the most-awarded artist of all time with a total of 32 trophies.

Harry Styles also had a reason to celebrate after he walked away with two major awards thanks to the success of Harry’s House: album of the year and best pop vocal album. As for Lizzo, she defeated tough competition to win the record of the year with “About Damn Time”.

This year’s Grammy’s delivered a few shockers in the Big Four categories—most notably Bonnie Raitt’s unexpected win for the song of the year with “Just Like That”. It was equally surprising to see the jazz singer Samara Joy collect the trophy for the best new artist, beating the likes of Måneskin, Anitta, and Latto.

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards were held on February 5 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with Trevor Noah returning as a host.

After months of anticipation, the Grammy Awards finally honored our favorite music stars on Sunday night, and the list of winners is pretty impressive. The night’s most-nominated artist Jon Batiste walked away with five awards, but Silk Sonic was right behind with four.

Batiste received a total of 11 nods at this year’s Grammys, but the album of the year was the only award that he picked up in the main field. He also picked up two trophies in the American Roots categories, in addition to winning the award for the best music video for “Freedom” and best score soundtrack, shared with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for their work on Soul.

Silk Sonic, the super-duo formed by Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, came into the night with four nominations and won all the awards it was nominated for. They owe their triumph to their hit single “Leave the Door Open”, which won trophies for record and song of the year, best R&B performance, and best R&B song.

The list of major winners with three awards each included Olivia Rodrigo, D’Mile, Foo Fighters, Chris Stapleton, and CeCe Winans. The 64th Annual Grammy Awards were held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 3 with Trevor Noah hosting the show.

Eilish and Rodrigo are obvious choices since they’re both nominated for seven awards, including album, record, and song of the year. Eilish is in the running with her second studio album Happier Than Ever, while Rodrigo owes her nominations to her debut album Sour and chart-topping single “Drivers License”. BTS has been nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with their smash hit “Butter”.

Brothers Osborne, Brandi Carlile, and Lil Nas X with Jack Harlow are also set to perform at the Grammys with the rest of the performers yet to be announced. Lil Nas X and Carlile have been nominated for five awards, while Brothers Osborne and Harlow received two nods each.

The 2022 Grammy Awards are taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 3, with Trevor Noah serving as a host. The list of major nominees includes Jon Batiste with eleven nominations, and Doja Cat, H.E.R., and Justin Bieber with eight each.

There’s been a lot of rumors circling around about the potential delay of the upcoming Grammy Awards and the Recording Academy just made things official. The 64th Annual Grammy Awards have been put on hold in the face of the Omicron surge.

The Recording Academy and CBS announced they’re postponing the ceremony in a joint statement, explaining they made this decision after careful consideration and analysis with city and state officials, health and safety experts.

“The health and safety of those in our music community, the live audience, and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to produce our show remain our top priority. Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31 simply contains too many risks,” reads the statement.

The Grammys were originally scheduled to be held on January 31, with Trevor Noah serving as host. It’s unclear what the future holds for this ceremony and we’re yet to see if other major award shows will follow suit and be postponed.

Jon Batiste topped this year’s list of Grammy nominees with a total of 11 nods, including the album and record of the year. He’s followed by Doja Cat, H.E.R., and Justin Bieber with eight nominations each.

If you’ve needed another proof of Beyoncé’s absolute domination of the music industry, this year’s Grammy Awards will give you one. The R&B icon topped the list of winners with four awards and became the most rewarded artists in Grammy history.

Beyoncé topped the list of Grammy winners after dominating in four categories—the best rap performance and rap song with the remix of Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage”, the best R&B performance with “Black Parade”, and the best music video with “Brown Skin Girl”. By doing so, she brought her total to 28 wins, tying Quincy Jones as the artists with the second-most wins.

Beyoncé was closely followed by her “Savage” collaborator Megan Thee Stallion, who collected three awards, including the best new artist. The general field was dominated by female artists, as women collected all four big awards of the night.

Taylor Swift became the first female artist to win the album of the year three times thanks to her latest victory with Folklore. Billie Eilish collected the record of the year award with “Everything I Wanted”, while H.E.R. had to beat tough competition to win the song of the year with “I Can’t Breathe”.

The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards took place on March 14th, with Trevor Noah hosting the show.
