The 2025 Grammy Awards centered on raising money for the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires, and brought out performances by Chappell Roan, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, and even a moonwalking Janelle Monáe. Several artists performed songs that mentioned L.A., and Will Smith introduced a moving tribute to the late music producer Quincy Jones.
Beyoncé won Album of the Year and Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter.” She entered Sunday’s Grammys with a leading 11 nominations, bringing her career total to 99 nods. That makes her the most nominated artist in Grammy history.

Carpenter won the day’s first award—at the early Premiere Ceremony—for best pop solo performance for “Espresso.” The Beatles won best rock performance for their artificial intelligence-assisted track, “Now and Then.”
During the main telecast, Doechii won her first Grammy, becoming only the third woman to ever win Best Rap Album. Roan won the New Artist Award.
