Music’s biggest night honored artists across genres as the 66th Grammy Awards took center stage at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025 (Monday, Feb. 3, PH time). The event celebrated the industry’s top achievements, with Beyoncé making history and Kendrick Lamar dominating the rap categories.

Beyoncé won album of the year for Cowboy Carter, marking her first win in the category despite being the most nominated artist in Grammy history with 99 career nods. Lamar took home record and song of the year for “Not Like Us,” a track that also earned him best rap song and best rap performance. Rising stars Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan also had a standout night, with Carpenter winning best pop solo performance for “Espresso,” while Roan took home best new artist.

The ceremony, hosted by comedian Trevor Noah for the fifth consecutive year, featured performances and surprises, including a historic win for Doechii, who became only the third woman to win best rap album.
