The 67th annual Grammys had a lot of exciting moments. Kendrick Lamar walked away with the most awards, winning five trophies including the biggest song prizes for his track “Not Like Us.” However, the highlight of the night was Beyoncé finally winning album of the year for “Cowboy Carter” after being nominated four times before. This made her the first Black woman this century to win the top honor. Chappell Roan also had a big win for best new artist, using her acceptance speech to talk about artists’ rights.
The Grammys also focused on raising money for those affected by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. One standout performance was by Charli XCX and friends, who brought a fun and energetic vibe to the stage. The show also did a great job of showcasing the new artist nominees, giving them plenty of stage time and production values to highlight their talent. It was a night filled with appreciation for music and talented artists, making it a memorable event for everyone involved.
