The 67th Annual Grammy Awards took center stage on February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, delivering a night filled with groundbreaking wins, emotional performances, and unforgettable fashion statements. Hosted by Trevor Noah for the fifth consecutive year, the ceremony celebrated the best music released between September 16, 2023, and August 30, 2024.
Historic Wins and First-Time Achievements
One of the biggest moments of the night came when Beyoncé made history as the first Black woman to win Album of the Year since Lauryn Hill in 1999. Her album Cowboy Carter also earned her the Best Country Album award, making her the first Black artist to win in this category.
Kendrick Lamar also had a monumental night, with his song Not Like Us winning Record of the Year and Song of the Year. This win cemented his place as only the second rap artist to claim both awards in one night, following Childish Gambino’s success in 2019.
In the Best New Artist category, Chappell Roan took home the award, using her acceptance speech to call for fairer treatment of artists by record labels.
Show-Stopping Performances and Tributes
The night was filled with spectacular performances, but one of the most emotional moments was the tribute to the legendary Quincy Jones. Music icons like Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock took the stage to honor his extraordinary career and impact on the industry.
Another standout moment was the event’s acknowledgment of the Los Angeles wildfires, which had devastated parts of the city in recent months. The Recording Academy and MusiCares pledged over $1 million, with an additional $3.2 million raised for relief efforts.
