The 67th Annual Grammy Awards, commonly referred to as the Grammys, was held on February 2, 2025. The prestigious event presented by the Recording Academy honored the best recordings, compositions, and artists from September 16, 2023, to August 30, 2024. The nominees and winners of Grammy Awards are selected by the Recording Academy’s voting members. This year, the Grammys was hosted by South African comedian Trevor Noah.
The Grammys are portrayed as one of the most prestigious awards in the music industry. The most notable of the winners was Kendrick Lamar, who won all five nominations for his song “Not Like Us.” Beyoncé received 11 nominations, the most of any artist, taking home three awards. Her album “Cowboy Carter” won both Album of the Year and Best Country Album. Chappell Roan won Best New Artist after competing with artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Benson Boone. This year, the Grammys featured a total of 94 award categories.
Ceremony performers were announced last month, including artists like Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter. The Weeknd made a surprise appearance at the Grammys, performing his song “Cry For Me” after boycotting the event for several years. Additionally, various performers paid tribute to Los Angeles after last month’s wildfire outbreak, such as Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga in their performance of “California Dreamin.”
Another aspect of the Grammys that turns heads is the red carpet, showcasing the fashion of the music industry’s finest. The Cut has published the best, worst, and weirdest looks. Beyoncé, whose custom Schiaparelli dress featured a sparkly design, and Miley Cyrus, in a Saint Laurent cutout dress by Anthony Vaccarello, were recognized as best dressed. On the contrary, Taylor Swift underwhelmed the crowd with a Vivienne Westwood red dress. When it comes to weird fashion choices, Jaden Smith in Louis Vuitton and Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori take the cake. Smith confused viewers with his house-shaped hat, while Censori’s see-through dress shocked viewers.
