Today, the 68th Annual Grammy Awards took place in Los Angeles, celebrating the biggest artists and bops that helped us get through 2025.
Rapper Kendrick Lamar turned out to be the biggest winner of the night for a second year in a row, collecting five awards, including record of the year for ‘Luther’ with SZA, and best rap album for GNX. Lamar now holds the record for the most Grammys won for a hip-hop artist with a total of 26 gilded gramophones.
However, in the category of the night’s most prestigious prize—album of the year—the rapper was beaten out by the next big winner, Bad Bunny. The Puerto Rican star took home the award for Debí Tirar Más Fotos.
In the realm of female artists, Lady Gaga won two awards: best pop vocal album for Mayhem and best pop recording for ‘Abracadabra’. The singer also gave an electrifying rock version of the latter in a wicker headdress. The coveted best new artist went to breakout singer, Olivia Dean, who enjoyed viral fame with singles such as ‘So Easy’ and ‘Man I Need’.
British singer Lola Young delivered perhaps the biggest surprise of the night by winning best pop solo performance for ‘Messy’, beating out pop megastars Sabrina Carpenter (who was noticeably empty-handed despite six nominations), Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga.
With over 90 categories, a vast majority of the winners were presented in the Premiere Ceremony ahead of the main telecast. Ahead, find the winners from the biggest awards announced in the Grammy’s main ceremony.
