More artists who got the coveted gilded gramophone trophy include Doja Cat and SZA for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Baby Keem for Best Rap Performance for Family Ties featuring Kendrick Lamar.
In contrast to the controversial Oscars 2022 ceremony, the Grammy Awards largely remain drama-free and was described by host Trevor Noah as a "concert where we give out awards". The event also included a message from Ukraine's president Zelensky. "Our musicians wear body armour instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded in hospitals, even to those who can’t hear them. But the music will break through anyway," he said.
Overall, it's one for the books!
