The 68th Grammy Awards took place in Los Angeles last night. 

Kendrick Lamar was the biggest winner of the night for the second year in a row, taking home awards for Best Rap Album for GNX and Record Of The Year for 'luther', a duet with SZA.

Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny took home Album Of The Year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which also won Best Música Urbana Album, a relatively new category that was first awarded in 2022. Bad Bunny will perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show in California on Sunday 8th February.

Billie Eilish won Song Of The Year for 'WILDFLOWER'.

Olivia Dean took home the prize for Best New Artist.​

Pharrell won the first-ever Dr Dre Global Impact Award, while Brandy and Kirk Franklin both won a Black Music Icon Award.

The ceremony saw artists including Billie Eilish, Kehlani, Bad Bunny, SZA, Shaboozey, and Cuban-American icon Gloria Estefan speak out about ICE’s (the US’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement) recent brutality in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which resulted in the fatal shootings of two American citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Others, including Justin and Hailey Bieber, wore badges saying “ICE OUT”. 

British singer Olivia Dean also used her acceptance speech to speak in support of immigrants. 

Here’s the full list of nominees and winners in the major categories.
