The 67th Annual Grammy Awards unfolded on Sunday night, celebrating the outstanding achievements of artists across the vast realm of music. It was a night marked by historic wins, record-breaking moments, and emotional performances that epitomized the power of music. Highlights included Beyoncé’s groundbreaking Album of the Year win for Cowboy Carter, Kendrick Lamar’s five-trophy sweep with “Not Like Us,” and an array of achievements that spanned every genre imaginable. Here’s a complete recap of the night’s biggest wins and defining moments.

Beyoncé’s Long-Awaited Album of the Year Triumph

The night’s most anticipated and climactic moment belonged to Beyoncé. Her country-infused epic, Cowboy Carter, made history as it earned her the title of Album of the Year, marking the first time a Black artist was recognized in this category in over twenty years. The accolade also secured Beyoncé her third win of the night and underscored her versatility as an artist. Earlier in the evening, she also captured Best Country Album, becoming the first Black artist to do so—a double historic feat that cemented her legacy yet again.

Kendrick Lamar Sweeps the Night

Kendrick Lamar reigned supreme this year, taking home five trophies, the most of any artist. His fiery track “Not Like Us,” a pointed diss track thought to target Drake, won both Record of the Year and Song of the Year, affirming his dominance in contemporary hip-hop. He also scooped up Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for the same title, with his critically acclaimed songwriting prowess shining through. Lamar’s sweeping wins solidified his position as one of the most influential voices in music today.

Chappell Roan Named Best New Artist

Chappell Roan took home the prestigious Best New Artist trophy, an honor that capped off a meteoric rise over the past year. Known for her genre-defying music and dynamic stage presence, the win signifies the beginning of what promises to be a long and successful career.

Pop Category Highlights

The pop categories brought their own electrifying moments. Sabrina Carpenter captured Best Pop Solo Performance for her vibrant track “Espresso” and also won Best Pop Vocal Album for Short n’ Sweet. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars took home Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their duet “Die With a Smile,” a hauntingly beautiful collaboration that left an indelible mark this year.

Dance/Electronic Goes Big with Charli XCX and Justice

Charli XCX ruled the dance and electronic categories, winning both Best Dance Pop Recording (Von Dutch) and Best Dance/Electronic Album (Brat). Justice, in collaboration with Tame Impala, earned Best Dance/Electronic Recording with “Neverender,” making a lasting impression in a competitive category. Meanwhile, remix maestros FNZ and Mark Ronson snagged Best Remixed Recording for their late-night reimagining of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso.”

Rock and Alternative Awards Make History

The Beatles made a triumphant return in the Rock categories, winning Best Rock Performance for “Now and Then,” a posthumously revived masterpiece. St. Vincent also shone brightly, with wins including Best Rock Song for “Broken Man” and Best Alternative Music Album for All Born Screaming. Her multifaceted talent continues to redefine genre boundaries.

Country Music Takes Center Stage

Beyoncé’s groundbreaking contributions to country music didn’t stop at Album of the Year. Her duet with Miley Cyrus, “II Most Wanted,” won Best Country Duo/Group Performance, while Kacey Musgraves’ songwriting brilliance shone through as “The Architect” earned Best Country Song.

Chris Stapleton’s “It Takes a Woman” was named Best Country Solo Performance, while fans celebrated Sierra Ferrell’s wins in both Americana and American Roots categories. Ferrell took home Best Americana Album (Trail of Flowers) and delivered a heartfelt performance that brought the house down.

Global and Latin Music Shine

The night celebrated diversity and innovation in music, with Tems winning Best African Music Performance for “Love Me JeJe” and Sheila E. teaming up with Gloria Estefan for Best Global Music Performance with “Bemba Colora.” Shakira continued her winning streak, claiming Best Latin Pop Album for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, while Residente’s Las Letras Ya No Importan snagged Best Música Urbana Album. Rawayana walked away with Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album for ¿Quién Trae las Cornetas?, and Carín León triumphed with Best Música Mexicana Album (Boca Chueca, Vol. 1).

Key Wins Across Other Genres

The awards also highlighted contributions in genres outside the mainstream. Jon Batiste’s “It Never Went Away” garnered Best Song Written for Visual Media from American Symphony, while Samara Joy’s stunning vocals earned her Best Jazz Vocal Album (A Joyful Holiday). Taylor Eigsti’s Plot Armor stood out in the Contemporary Instrumental category, and Alicia Keys’ Hell’s Kitchen brought home Best Musical Theater Album.
