That's all for now...
Well, what a show – in many ways the ideal awards show, mostly drama-free and well-run (save for a few sound issues) with amiable hosting by Trevor Noah. The night featured more awards than usual, fitting for a historic evening as Beyoncé tied, then beat the record for most all-time Grammy awards with 32. Yet that tally still does not include the night’s biggest award, album of the year, which surprisingly (or maybe, not that surprisingly) went to Harry Styles for Harry’s House. (Beyoncé, usually confined to the genre categories, picked up best dance/electronic music album.)
Other highlights from the evening included Lizzo’s bubbly speech for record of the year, a sweet acceptance by Samara Joy for best new artist, a devastating tribute performance by Quavo for his late fellow Migos member Takeoff, and the star-studded medley honoring 50 years of hip-hop.
The Emmys and Oscars could learn a thing or two from the Grammys, which was, awkward celebrity dancing aside, mostly chaos-free and actually fun. Here’s to hoping the other shows can keep up.
That’s it for us tonight. Thanks for tuning in!
The most awarded artist in Grammys history did not win the biggest award of the evening and people are not best pleased:
