Beyoncé led the field with a total of nine nominations and scooped up four awards, making her the top-winning artist in Grammys history.
Pop queen Beyoncé dominated the Grammy Awards on Sunday, breaking the record for victories with her 32nd and fourth awards of the evening. However, the Album of the Year award, which has long eluded her, was won by British singer Harry Styles.
All of the front-runners, including Adele, Taylor Swift, and Lizzo, won prizes, but the top four categories were filled with unexpected results.
Following the release of “Renaissance,” her expansive, lavish homage to dance music, Beyoncé entered the event with the most opportunities to win a Grammy with nine.
Beyoncé expressed gratitude to her family and paid special appreciation to the LGBTQ community, whom she attributed with creating the genre in question. Her historically rich album honors the forefathers of funk, soul, rap, dance music, and disco.
Rapper Kendrick Lamar and folk rocker Brandi Carlile each received three trophies at the night’s conclusion.
One of the night’s heavy hitters, Adele, won just one prize in the pop categories, and Taylor Swift once again missed out on the Song of the Year award for songwriting.
Swift’s short film based on the 10-minute version of her song “All Too Well” did, however, take home the award for Best Music Video.
With his opening performance, Puerto Rican reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny brought the audience to its feet and later won the Best Música Urbana Album award.
Bad Bunny, indisputably the world’s biggest commercial artist, nabbed the prize for his major drop “Un Verano Sin Ti,” which was also an Album of the Year contender.
“Thank you to all the Latinos across the entire world,” he said in Spanish. “We will keep elevating this genre to the next level.”

Actor Viola Davis became the latest showbiz heavyweight to earn a coveted EGOT — winner of an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony — by taking the Grammy for the best audio book, narration, and storytelling for her memoir “Finding Me.”
The star-studded 65th annual gala, hosted once again by comedian Trevor Noah, also featured performances from Styles, Lizzo, and Mary J. Blige, as well as an exuberant tribute to hip-hop music featuring a constellation of stars.

Music’s brightest stars on Sunday brought their fashion A-game to the Grammys red carpet, strutting their stuff in bold colours, slinky styles, major bling, and barely-there gowns.
While the Oscars are known for embracing a certain brand of Hollywood glamour, the Grammys are in your face: some of the most iconic fashion looks have emerged on music’s biggest night.
If you want to get noticed on the red carpet, a pop of colour does the trick.
Lizzo who won Record of the Year honours for “About Damn Time” served up major fashion drama in a voluminous orange Dolce and Gabbana cape with huge floral blooms, over a sleek corseted gown in the same vibrant hue with peach eye shadow, fingerless mesh gloves and nail art to match.
Taylor Swift, who won the Grammy for the best music video for “All Too Well,” stunned in a two-piece bejeweled bluish-purple Roberto Cavalli number — a long-sleeved crop top and long skirt — in keeping with her album title “Midnights.”
