Speaking to journalists on the red carpet, she said: "My whole country is watching and Brazil is waiting for this. If you have a story suggestion email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

There could be many other firsts during the ceremony: If Bad Bunny wins album of the year for "Un Verano Sin Ti," it would be the first time a Spanish-language album has taken home the top honor.

Taylor Swift was the only one in her section dancing during ex-boyfriend Harry Styles' 2023 Grammy Awards performance of "As It Was" Sunday night.

Of the two Swift songs considered to be about their short-lived romance — “Out of the Woods” and “Style” — Styles told the magazine, “I write from my experiences; everyone does that. And we’re never getting back together, like, ever.'” In writing songs about stuff like that, I like tipping a hat to the time together. but you shared something.” “And adding in that you don’t really understand exactly how it works when you’re 18, trying to navigate all that stuff didn’t make it easier.” He continued, “I mean, you’re a little bit awkward to begin with.

The Grammys brought us a stacked and uniformly strong line-up of performances from Bad Bunny, Harry Styles, Lizzo and more. Here's how they ranked.

["Renaissance"](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2023/02/01/beyonce-renaissance-tour-tickets-verified-fan-presale/11162728002/) in favor of [Harry Styles' "Harry's House."

The Queen of R&B looked and sounded flawless singing the sumptuous title track from her 14th studio album, performing vocal acrobatics as she stood atop a pyramidal platform in a wide-brimmed hat and diamond-studded dress. The charismatic singer, clad in a baseball cap and jeans, proceeded to get the entire audience on its feet, with artists including Jack Harlow and Mary J. But the most emotional moment came from Quavo and Maverick City Music, [who honored Migos member Takeoff ](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2022/12/02/takeoff-rap-group-migos-murdered-houston-police-arrest-2-suspects/10819485002/)with a heartbreaking mashup of "Without You" and "See You Again." The Puerto Rican rapper proved why he's one of the biggest stars in the world right now with his vibrant, infectious opening number. After a sweet introduction from her wife, Catherine Shepherd, and two daughters, the Americana singer gave an electrifying performance of her "In These Silent Days" single. Smith gyrated downstage in a devil horn-adorned top hat, but it was Petras who stole the show with a red-hot pyrotechnic display, mugging for the camera from inside a steel cage. Styles swapped his eye-popping jumpsuit from the red carpet for a frilly, metallic ensemble, hopping and darting across a giant turntable with his street clothes-clad backup dancers. It was a solid Grammys debut for the country artist, who unfortunately got seated with a third-hour time slot as viewers' attention spans wore thin.

The win that put Beyoncé over the top came in the category of best dance/electronic album which she won for her 2022 release “Renaissance.” Presenter James ...

“I heard the song and I said I want to play on that. “I thought you moved through space and time.” I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and inventing the genre.” “When I got called to play on this song, it was the most organic thing that ever happened to me,” said Rodgers, whose dance-funk band Chic led to a long career as an in-demand session musician. According to host Trevor Noah, who may or may not have been joking, she was still in traffic on her way to Crypto.com Arena. I’d like to thank my parents.

This Sunday, the 65th Grammy Awards saw Trevor Noah step up as host for the third time running, claiming the stage of the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Beyoncé became the most decorated artist in Grammys history, taking home the 32nd award of her career and breaking the conductor Georg Solti's 1997 record.

Beyoncé received her first Grammy in 2001 back when she was still a member of the R&B trio Destiny’s Child. [Harper's Bazaar](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a37039502/beyonce-evolution-interview-2021/) in August 2021 that she hoped her music would be a respite for the turbulent times we're living through. “There’s nothing like the amount of love, passion, and healing that I feel in the recording studio. I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible,” she said. Instead, The-Dream collected her best R&B song trophy on her behalf as one of the eight writers credited on the track, telling the audience, “Beyoncé thanks y’all.” And during the afternoon pre-show, she won as well for best dance/electronic recording for “Break My Soul” and best traditional R&B performance for “Plastic Off the Sofa.”

The feelings kept flowing as audio of Crosby, Stills, and Nash’s “Guinnevere” played in honor of David Crosby, who died [just last month](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/david-crosby-dead-obituary-1234664235/) at 81. Carlile got the Grammys cranked up with her blistering performance of “Broken Horses,” which collected a couple of Grammys in the rock categories earlier in the night, backed by a band that included Shooter Jennings on piano and the duo Lucius singing backup. The performance was one of the liveliest and most energetic of the entire night — and it showcased the kind of Puerto Rican pride and cultural specificity that has defined And my mother believed me, that I was a girl, and I wouldn’t be here without her and her support and everyone who believed in me to this point.” It was earnest, gracious, and necessary.

Sex symbol of the globe — especially now that they killed off [the green M&M](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/green-mm-mars-wrigley-rebrand-sneakers-slut-1287965/).” He told Taylor Swift he loved her song “Anti-Hero,” which of course is about his favorite auntie, Beatrice. [in 2021](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/2021-best-grammy-awards-ever-1139720/), and this year’s telecast was almost shockingly well-done — a tribute to the best of music right now that doubled as a righteous slap in the face of every right-wing culture warrior who had a full-on meltdown the first time they heard “Unholy.” Of course, it wouldn’t be a Grammys show without a few tone-deaf, snoozy, or just plain puzzling choices. But there were a lot fewer of those, and thank the Grammy gods for that.

The 2023 Grammys featured performances by Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, and Lizzo, along with tributes to hip-hop and Smokey Robinson.

Clearly, that wasn’t even enough, after Beyoncé was snubbed in the category for a fourth time for [her earth-shaking seventh album Renaissance](https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/beyonce-renaissance-review.html). Lizzo brought a whole choir for her performance of “About Damn Time” and “Special,” with some church-worthy belting; Luke Combs showed off the vocals that got him out of his bar bouncer gig; and Mary J. The speech that followed was a rare moment of vulnerability from Bey, who, on the verge of tears, thanked her late Uncle Johnny and the queer community for paving the way for her dance history tribute Renaissance. [Vulture’s Rembert Browne wrote](https://www.vulture.com/2017/02/what-more-does-beyonc-have-to-do-to-win-album-of-the-year.html) she would “have to make an album of the decade” to win the top honor. The Grammys gave fans a bit of a warning by announcing that Quavo would be one of the In Memoriam performers, honoring his late nephew and collaborator Takeoff. Beyoncé wasn’t even there to see herself tie the record for most Grammy wins of all time because she was stuck in a limo on her way to Crypto.com Arena. (That said, [Petras gave a touching tribute to her late trans collaborator SOPHIE](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/sam-smith-kim-petras-grammys-win-history.html), while also managing to shout out her gay mother Madonna and her actual mother.) Not that it mattered — the tribute in honor of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary was an exciting, whiplash-inducing trip through rap history, featuring the most legends you could crowd on stage in 10 minutes. [Brandi Carlile](https://www.vulture.com/2021/04/interview-brandi-carlile-memoir-broken-horses.html) found a new way to break Grammys ground this year, netting awards for Best Rock Performance and Song. Younger acts like Billie Eilish, Lizzo, and Olivia Rodrigo have been some of the biggest Grammys players in recent years, so it’s great to see the Academy carrying on that investment to the next generation. In his third year of hosting, and first away from The Daily Show, Trevor Noah seemed more comfortable than ever at the Grammys. That happened tonight, when Benito kicked things off by snaking through the audience to an equally crowded stage, with dozens of dancers and a full backing band.

Beyoncé has broken the record for the most Grammy Award wins of all time, after collecting her 32nd trophy at this year's ceremony. The singer made history ...

"I grew up next to nowhere in Germany and my mother believed me, that I was a girl," she said, as Smith looked on with pride. "From making it with two of my best friends to playing for people has been the greatest joy I could have asked for." If you have a story suggestion email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). "I made this album with love and passion, and when you do things with love and passion, everything is easier," said the singer. "I'm surprised traffic could stop you," joked host Trevor Noah once she arrived. Kacey Musgraves played a heartfelt version of Coal Miner's Daughter in tribute to the "Queen of Country" Loretta Lynn; while Fleetwood Mac star Christine McVie was honoured with a performance of her signature hit, Songbird, by Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt and Mick Fleetwood. She went on to thank the late, transgender pop artist Sophie for "kicking these doors open", and Madonna "for fighting for LGBTQ rights", before dedicating the award to her mother. The singer told the audience she had written the first verse "in the shower when I was choosing to change my son's life", by divorcing her then-husband, Simon Konecki. "Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I'm the first transgender woman to win this award," said the German-born singer. "This album from start to finish has been the greatest experience of my life," he said. She's up for the night's main prize, album of the year, as well as song and record of the year, both for her number one single Break My Soul. "I'm trying not to be too emotional," said the star, accepting the prize.

Harry Styles' picked up the coveted best album prize, Viola Davis completed an EGOT, and Beyoncé became the most decorated artist in Grammy history. Here are ...

but there was a glaring absence from Drake and Eminem, both of whom are boycotting the Grammys, saying it sidelines hip-hop from the major categories. "And ever since, we've gone everywhere," "This is just a magical evening. The newly-married Mr J. A deep and affectionate dive into black and gay dance culture, it was the most critically-acclaimed release of 2022. I felt on the outside looking in. Because it seems to be: "Stop being so impressive and write music we feel comfortable with". It's a sentiment that's not entirely out of character. This time Harry Styles took the crown. But for all that love, the big prizes have eluded her. This was at a time when positive music and feel-good music wasn't mainstream and I felt very misunderstood. "When we lost Prince I decided to dedicate my life to making positive music.

You can't give out 91 awards without some snubs and surprises – and the 65th annual Grammy Awards, held on Sunday (Feb. 5), had plenty of both.

This year, Thank You was nominated for best traditional pop vocal album, but lost to Michael Buble’s Higher (his fifth win in the category). Nelson won a second award on the night, best country solo performance for “Live Forever.” was announced as the winner, he began his speech by saying “I thought it was The-Dream for sure.” The-Dream didn’t go home empty-handed. Last year, Justin Bieber went 0-8 on the night, Billie Eilish went 0-7 and Giveon went 0-6. DJ Khaled performed “God Did,” which was a surprise song of the year nominee, on the telecast. It’s the first time the veteran artist has gone home with multiple awards since 1992, when she also won three awards. Trevor Noah hosted the Grammys for the third year in a row. How can you possibly say the Academy snubbed Beyoncé when she won four awards and set a new all-time record as the most awarded person in Grammy history with 32 career wins? For the second time in three years, no artist won in more than one Big Four category. Raitt won three Grammys, including song of the year. In the past 25 years, there have been only three other years where no artist won in more than one Big Four category. Beyoncé, who led the pack with nine nods; Lamar, who finished second with eight; and Adele, who tied with Carlile with seven nods, all declined invitations to perform.

The win that put Beyoncé over the top came in the category of best dance/electronic album which she won for her 2022 release “Renaissance.” Presenter James ...

“I heard the song and I said I want to play on that. “I thought you moved through space and time.” I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and inventing the genre.” “When I got called to play on this song, it was the most organic thing that ever happened to me,” said Rodgers, whose dance-funk band Chic led to a long career as an in-demand session musician. According to host Trevor Noah, who may or may not have been joking, she was still in traffic on her way to Crypto.com Arena. I’d like to thank my parents.

The Grammys this year picked a group of fans to discuss why their favorite artist deserved to win Grammys, and before this final award of the night was handed ...

All of you are so inspiring to me.” So to be with you, born and raised in the Bronx, New York, my family here. “I listen to everyone in this category when I’m alone.

The queen of pop broke records – though not for the big gongs, again. But if the Recording Academy has a history of unexpected choices, this year's wins for ...

[Harry Styles](https://www.theguardian.com/music/harry-styles)’s Harry’s House beating Renaissance to album of the year doesn’t feel the same as Beck’s Morning Phase triumphing over [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/dec/13/beyonce-album-first-review) in 2015, nor does it feel the same as if, say, Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres had won this year. [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/beyonce) has only ever won one of them once – song of the year in 2010 for Single Ladies – which seems a fairly inexplicable state of affairs: you don’t need to be a rabid member of the Bey Hive to know that she’s had an immense cultural and commercial impact over the last 20 years. Under the circumstances, Samara Joy – a hugely gifted jazz vocalist, gradually emerging as a significant songwriter as well as an adept interpreter of standards – feels like a worthwhile choice: rooted in tradition, but too soulful to qualify as easy listening. The weirdest success was Bonnie Raitt’s [Just Like That](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skd0XR3twCA) winning song of the year, at least from the perspective of the UK, where the album it’s from didn’t even make the charts. Certainly they’re one of the biggest-selling groups in a field where several of the nominees didn’t even seem particularly new: Molly Tuttle’s first album came out in 2006; Tobe Nwigwe’s first EP six years ago; Muni Long is 34 and released her debut album, albeit under her real name, Priscilla Renea, in 2009. Without wishing to cast shade on those doughtily toiling away in the areas covered by the best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media and best new age ambient or chant album categories, the Grammys are ultimately about four awards: album of the year, record of the year, song of the year and best new artist.

But her four victories didn't come in the major, all-genre categories — album, record and song of the year. (Those went to Harry Styles, Lizzo and Bonnie Raitt.) ...

She is one of the mature singers and songwriters who have been relegated to formats like “Americana” and “Legacy.” But Raitt had learned from the best — notably John Prine — how to tell a sad but uplifting story with a voice and a small band. They shared a Temptations hit co-written by Robinson, “The Way You Do the Things You Do.” Robinson himself joined Wonder for a song they wrote together (along with Hank Cosby), “The Tears of a Clown”; then Wonder performed his own “Higher Ground” with the country hitmaker Chris Stapleton, and the music finally took off. [Beyoncé broke the record](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/06/arts/music/grammy-awards-beyonce-harry-styles.html) for most wins in the event’s history.

His performance — a medley of “El Apagón” (“The Blackout”), a tribute to Puerto Rican culture amid adversity, and “Después de la Playa” (“After the Beach”), a come-on — was a carnival and a dance party. ( [The-Dream](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/03/arts/music/the-dream-muni-long-grammys.html), one of her fellow writers, spent a few seconds onstage instead.) And when Noah, after blaming Los Angeles traffic, eventually did find Beyoncé at her table, bringing her the trophy she had won, the singer just nodded politely, giving him — and the show that would go on to both celebrate and disrespect her, again — basically nothing.

DJ Khaled ran up from his table to the front of the stage steps to wave a lighter, and, as the set finished, Machine Gun Kelly, who attended with fiancée Megan Fox, could be seen standing on a chair, despite being well over six feet tall. After about a minute of smiling and talking, the two parted, with Swift returning to her table where she sat with her frequent collaborator, Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff. Other stars sat comfortably back in their seats, bobbing their heads along to the music. (Earlier in the night, Swift jammed out to Styles' performance of "As it Was."

This year's Grammy Awards was a night to remember where social justice, the power of music, Black excellence, and LGBTQIA+ representation took center stage.

“It’s Black kids and white kids rejecting segregation in the 1950s, and instead, blending R&B, country, and even gospel into rock and roll,” the comedian said. However, the awards saw four artists take home a Grammy in their respective categories, which had the continent continuing the celebrations. ”Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I’m the first What a way to kick off the US and Canada's Black History Month! It’s the harmony of human beings of different races, genders, religions, identities, sexual orientations … Black History happened on our TV screens at this year’s Grammys when Lizzo took home Record of the Year, becoming the first Black woman to win the award this century. “In the 1980s, a young Black rapper from Queens and a Jewish white kid in his NYU dorm came together to make some of the greatest hip-hop of all time.
