The stars are out in force for the 65th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night. Here's a look at the most memorable outfits on the red carpet.

The country star said she intended to "get a few hugs in of some of my favourites, and just get up there and present best country album". Speaking to journalists on the red carpet, she said: "My whole country is watching and Brazil is waiting for this. If you have a story suggestion email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). For me, the victory is to be here tonight, to be honest." Singer and songwriter Anitta said she is "making history" as the first Brazilian artist to be nominated for best new artist at the Grammys in nearly half a century. Brandi Carlile was up for many of the night's biggest honours, including album and record of the year.

Beyoncé, Adele and Harry Styles are vying for top prizes at Sunday's 65th Grammy Awards at Crypto.com Arena. The Premiere Ceremony begins at 12:30 p.m..

— M.W. —M.W. 1.” — Suzy Exposito Beyoncé just won the first of what should be many Grammy awards today, for dance/electronic recording for “Break My Soul,” the lead single from her sprawling ode to Black queer club culture, “Renaissance.” She joins Donna Summer, Janet Jackson and Rihanna as Black women to win this award. Kendrick Lamar just took home two Grammys for “The Heart Part 5,” winning for rap song and rap performance. Future’s “Wait for U,” which features Drake and Tems, just won for melodic rap performance. Its lead single, “Bad Habit,” ascended to the top of the Billboard 100, marking the native Angeleno’s first No. Bonnie Raitt’s “Made Up Mind” just won for Americana performance, while her song “Just Like That” won for American roots. That would be “cabrón,” which is a slang term that roughly translates to “badass.” He then regaled the crowd — and even got Taylor Swift out of her seat to dance! Not sure what to make of this panel of regular folks discussing the nominees for album of the year. Best R&B song goes to Beyoncé’s “Cuff It” — which she didn’t quite make it to Crypto.com Arena to accept. Dude could do this every year for the rest of his life — and the Grammys will probably make that happen.

Beyoncé leads with nine nominations for her album Renaissance, tying her for most all-time nominations with her husband, Jay Z – but will she show up?

A controversial pre-telecast award: Dave Chappelle wins best comedy album for his special The Closer, which drew criticism for being transphobic. “It has just been such a journey,” she said in accepting the award. Bad Bunny has kicked off the show with a rousing Spanish-language performance that has brought dozens of dancers to the stage, cast in red and orange lighting. Styles described making Harry’s House with two of his best friends as “the greatest experience of my life” and playing it for people “the greatest joy I could’ve asked for.” More interesting: the camera cut to Taylor Swift for a reaction shot, which feels rude. Another new bit for this year: a fan focus group for the album of the year award. “Beyoncé is on her way,” Noah reassures when she does not take the stage to accept her 31st Grammy award, tying the record for all-time wins.

Beyoncé notches third Grammy Award win on Sunday, tying conductor Georg Solti to earn a share of all-time win record.

Noah hosted the ceremony as well, which saw [Jon Batiste take home](https://apnews.com/article/grammy-awards-chris-rock-covid-entertainment-health-6ce7f74b3cc70f3ead2659135415f839) album of the year.

"I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola, to honor her, her life, her joy, her trauma, everything," Davis said. There could be many other firsts during the ceremony: If Bad Bunny wins album of the year for "Un Verano Sin Ti," it would be the first time a Spanish-language album has taken home the top honor. The actor gave an emotional speech and emphatically said "I just EGOT" after she marched on stage to collect her award. The touching performances included Kacey Musgraves singing "Coal Miner’s Daughter" in tribute to Lynn; Quavo and the Maverick City Music hit the stage to honor his nephew Takeoff with the song "Without You;" and Sheryl Crow, Mick Fleetwood and Bonnie Raitt performed "Songbird" to remember McVie.

"I don’t think I could be here without Madonna," Petras said. Once Beyonce finally arrived, Noah presented her with the best R&B song award at her table which included her husband Jay-Z and The-Dream.

Beyoncé missed her award for Best R&B song at the 2023 Grammys after getting stuck in traffic. The "Break My Soul" singer now has 31 Grammy wins.

She was nominated for nine awards in total. “So for real, Beyonce is on her way.

The 65th annual Grammy awards has already seen wins for Kendrick Lamar, Steve Lacy and Beyoncé.

On Sunday, Beyoncé surpassed orchestra conductor Georg Solti as the artist with the most Grammy wins of all time. Read her acceptance speech.

I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing this genre. I’d like to thank my parents, my father, my mother, for loving me and pushing me. I’d like to thank my beautiful husband, my beautiful three children, who are at home watching.

Beyoncé became the most decorated artist in Grammys history, taking home the 32nd award of her career and breaking the conductor Georg Solti's 1997 record.

Beyoncé received her first Grammy in 2001 back when she was still a member of the R&B trio Destiny’s Child. [Harper's Bazaar](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a37039502/beyonce-evolution-interview-2021/) in August 2021 that she hoped her music would be a respite for the turbulent times we're living through. “There’s nothing like the amount of love, passion, and healing that I feel in the recording studio. I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible,” she said. Instead, The-Dream collected her best R&B song trophy on her behalf as one of the eight writers credited on the track, telling the audience, “Beyoncé thanks y’all.” And during the afternoon pre-show, she won as well for best dance/electronic recording for “Break My Soul” and best traditional R&B performance for “Plastic Off the Sofa.”

Beyoncé, nominated in nine categories, is poised to break the record for most wins in the award show's history. In the competitive Album of the Year category, ...

Now that awards season is in full swing, stars took the opportunity to don their best and boldest attire. "Unholy" collaborators Sam Smith and Kim Petras arrived with a glamorous cult in tow, including Drag Race stars Violet Chachki and Gottmik. [2023 Grammys](https://www.mtv.com/tag/t52o2v/grammys) ceremony is certainly one to watch.

Beyoncé has broken the record for the most Grammy Award wins of all time, after collecting her 32nd trophy at this year's ceremony. The singer made history ...

"I grew up next to nowhere in Germany and my mother believed me, that I was a girl," she said, as Smith looked on with pride. "From making it with two of my best friends to playing for people has been the greatest joy I could have asked for." If you have a story suggestion email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). "I made this album with love and passion, and when you do things with love and passion, everything is easier," said the singer. "I'm surprised traffic could stop you," joked host Trevor Noah once she arrived. Kacey Musgraves played a heartfelt version of Coal Miner's Daughter in tribute to the "Queen of Country" Loretta Lynn; while Fleetwood Mac star Christine McVie was honoured with a performance of her signature hit, Songbird, by Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt and Mick Fleetwood. She went on to thank the late, transgender pop artist Sophie for "kicking these doors open", and Madonna "for fighting for LGBTQ rights", before dedicating the award to her mother. The singer told the audience she had written the first verse "in the shower when I was choosing to change my son's life", by divorcing her then-husband, Simon Konecki. "Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I'm the first transgender woman to win this award," said the German-born singer. "This album from start to finish has been the greatest experience of my life," he said. She's up for the night's main prize, album of the year, as well as song and record of the year, both for her number one single Break My Soul. "I'm trying not to be too emotional," said the star, accepting the prize.

The guy [played on friggin’ “Imagine.”](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/drummer-alan-white-interview-yes-john-lennon-804823/) Like everyone else listed here, he deserved a special Grammy moment.

The feelings kept flowing as audio of Crosby, Stills, and Nash’s “Guinnevere” played in honor of David Crosby, who died [just last month](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/david-crosby-dead-obituary-1234664235/) at 81. Carlile got the Grammys cranked up with her blistering performance of “Broken Horses,” which collected a couple of Grammys in the rock categories earlier in the night, backed by a band that included Shooter Jennings on piano and the duo Lucius singing backup. The performance was one of the liveliest and most energetic of the entire night — and it showcased the kind of Puerto Rican pride and cultural specificity that has defined And my mother believed me, that I was a girl, and I wouldn’t be here without her and her support and everyone who believed in me to this point.” It was earnest, gracious, and necessary.

[in 2021](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/2021-best-grammy-awards-ever-1139720/), and this year’s telecast was almost shockingly well-done — a tribute to the best of music right now that doubled as a righteous slap in the face of every right-wing culture warrior who had a full-on meltdown the first time they heard “Unholy.” Of course, it wouldn’t be a Grammys show without a few tone-deaf, snoozy, or just plain puzzling choices. But there were a lot fewer of those, and thank the Grammy gods for that.

The 2023 Grammys featured performances by Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, and Lizzo, along with tributes to hip-hop and Smokey Robinson.

Clearly, that wasn’t even enough, after Beyoncé was snubbed in the category for a fourth time for [her earth-shaking seventh album Renaissance](https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/beyonce-renaissance-review.html). Lizzo brought a whole choir for her performance of “About Damn Time” and “Special,” with some church-worthy belting; Luke Combs showed off the vocals that got him out of his bar bouncer gig; and Mary J. The speech that followed was a rare moment of vulnerability from Bey, who, on the verge of tears, thanked her late Uncle Johnny and the queer community for paving the way for her dance history tribute Renaissance. [Vulture’s Rembert Browne wrote](https://www.vulture.com/2017/02/what-more-does-beyonc-have-to-do-to-win-album-of-the-year.html) she would “have to make an album of the decade” to win the top honor. The Grammys gave fans a bit of a warning by announcing that Quavo would be one of the In Memoriam performers, honoring his late nephew and collaborator Takeoff. Beyoncé wasn’t even there to see herself tie the record for most Grammy wins of all time because she was stuck in a limo on her way to Crypto.com Arena. (That said, [Petras gave a touching tribute to her late trans collaborator SOPHIE](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/sam-smith-kim-petras-grammys-win-history.html), while also managing to shout out her gay mother Madonna and her actual mother.) Not that it mattered — the tribute in honor of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary was an exciting, whiplash-inducing trip through rap history, featuring the most legends you could crowd on stage in 10 minutes. [Brandi Carlile](https://www.vulture.com/2021/04/interview-brandi-carlile-memoir-broken-horses.html) found a new way to break Grammys ground this year, netting awards for Best Rock Performance and Song. Younger acts like Billie Eilish, Lizzo, and Olivia Rodrigo have been some of the biggest Grammys players in recent years, so it’s great to see the Academy carrying on that investment to the next generation. In his third year of hosting, and first away from The Daily Show, Trevor Noah seemed more comfortable than ever at the Grammys. That happened tonight, when Benito kicked things off by snaking through the audience to an equally crowded stage, with dozens of dancers and a full backing band.

The Grammy Awards returned Sunday night. Here is our ranking of all the performances from the show.

But she was shut out of the major categories, despite fans and critics hoping this could be her first album of the year win for the acclaimed “Renaissance.” Lizzo landed record of the year for “About Damn Time,” livening up the nearly four-hour show with an ecstatic acceptance speech, and Bonnie Raitt stunned everyone with a win for song of the year for “Just Like That.” Jazz singer Samara Joy took home the best new artist trophy. Instead, the night’s most prestigious trophy went to pop star Harry Styles for his album “Harry’s House.” Styles appeared surprised as he arrived onstage, and the censors quickly jumped into action as he uttered a few shocked expletives.

Harry Styles' picked up the coveted best album prize, Viola Davis completed an EGOT, and Beyoncé became the most decorated artist in Grammy history. Here are ...

but there was a glaring absence from Drake and Eminem, both of whom are boycotting the Grammys, saying it sidelines hip-hop from the major categories. "And ever since, we've gone everywhere," "This is just a magical evening. The newly-married Mr J. A deep and affectionate dive into black and gay dance culture, it was the most critically-acclaimed release of 2022. I felt on the outside looking in. Because it seems to be: "Stop being so impressive and write music we feel comfortable with". It's a sentiment that's not entirely out of character. This time Harry Styles took the crown. But for all that love, the big prizes have eluded her. This was at a time when positive music and feel-good music wasn't mainstream and I felt very misunderstood. "When we lost Prince I decided to dedicate my life to making positive music.

[Harry Styles](https://www.theguardian.com/music/harry-styles)’s Harry’s House beating Renaissance to album of the year doesn’t feel the same as Beck’s Morning Phase triumphing over [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/dec/13/beyonce-album-first-review) in 2015, nor does it feel the same as if, say, Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres had won this year. [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/beyonce) has only ever won one of them once – song of the year in 2010 for Single Ladies – which seems a fairly inexplicable state of affairs: you don’t need to be a rabid member of the Bey Hive to know that she’s had an immense cultural and commercial impact over the last 20 years. Under the circumstances, Samara Joy – a hugely gifted jazz vocalist, gradually emerging as a significant songwriter as well as an adept interpreter of standards – feels like a worthwhile choice: rooted in tradition, but too soulful to qualify as easy listening. The weirdest success was Bonnie Raitt’s [Just Like That](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skd0XR3twCA) winning song of the year, at least from the perspective of the UK, where the album it’s from didn’t even make the charts. Certainly they’re one of the biggest-selling groups in a field where several of the nominees didn’t even seem particularly new: Molly Tuttle’s first album came out in 2006; Tobe Nwigwe’s first EP six years ago; Muni Long is 34 and released her debut album, albeit under her real name, Priscilla Renea, in 2009. Without wishing to cast shade on those doughtily toiling away in the areas covered by the best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media and best new age ambient or chant album categories, the Grammys are ultimately about four awards: album of the year, record of the year, song of the year and best new artist.

But her four victories didn't come in the major, all-genre categories — album, record and song of the year. (Those went to Harry Styles, Lizzo and Bonnie Raitt.) ...

[Bonnie Raitt](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/31/arts/music/bonnie-raitt-grammys-just-like-that.html), who had just joined a memorial for Christine McVie singing “Songbird,” was surprised when the Grammys chose “Just Like That” as song of the year. By the time she did step to the microphone for a proper [acceptance speech](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/05/arts/music/beyonce-grammys-win-record.html), having taken the all-time Grammy record and also opted not to perform, Beyoncé had made her priorities clear: She [posted to Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/CoTgYsmLl7G/) about her Grammy wins before actually showing her face at the Grammys. She is one of the mature singers and songwriters who have been relegated to formats like “Americana” and “Legacy.” But Raitt had learned from the best — notably John Prine — how to tell a sad but uplifting story with a voice and a small band. They shared a Temptations hit co-written by Robinson, “The Way You Do the Things You Do.” Robinson himself joined Wonder for a song they wrote together (along with Hank Cosby), “The Tears of a Clown”; then Wonder performed his own “Higher Ground” with the country hitmaker Chris Stapleton, and the music finally took off.
