The 67th annual Grammy Awards showcase a mixed bag of buzzy newcomers and record-breaking favorites competing for the gold in their nominated categories on music’s biggest night.
Hosted by comedian Trevor Noah for the fifth straight year, Beyoncé’s country turn in “Cowboy Carter” and Taylor Swift’s autobiographical heartbreak in “The Tortured Poets Department” ran a tight race for Album of the Year, and a new generation of pop singers like Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX got a fair shot at waking up on Monday morning with a new trophy for their shelf. But not everyone can go home a winner.
Between performances by Billie Eilish, Cynthia Erivo and Stevie Wonder, there were plenty of surprises and an equal amount of shocking losses. We break it all down below.
