Grammys 2025 recap: Best moments from music's biggest night

Beyoncé won the Grammy for best country album for "COWBOY CARTER" on Sunday night.

Taylor Swift presented the award to the mega-star.

"Oh, my god. Wow. I really was not expecting this," Beyoncé said in her acceptance speech.

"I want to thank God … that I am able to still do what I love after so many years," she continued. "I think sometimes, 'genre' is a code word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they're passionate about and to stay persistent."

She also thanked her family, collaborating artists, and her fans in her speech.

Other nominees in the category included "F-1 Trillion" by Post Malone, "Deeper Well" by Kacey Musgraves, "Higher" by Chris Stapleton and "Whirlwind" by Lainey Wilson.

Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter shared a sweet moment together at the Grammys.

During the show, Swift was photographed giving Carpenter a hug and kiss on the head.

Chappell Roan wowed the audience with a performance of her song "Pink Pony Club" on Sunday at the 2025 Grammys.

Roan -- who performed with a gaggle of clowns -- called the song her "love letter to LA" in a video package that played before she took to the stage.

Olivia Rodrigo introduced Roan's performance, calling her "my extraordinary friend."

Roan earned six Grammy nominations this year, including best new artist, song of the year, record of the year and album of the year.

Anthony Kiedis and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers presented the Grammy Award for best pop vocal album to Sabrina Carpenter for "Short n' Sweet."

While accepting the award, Carpenter said, "I really was not expecting this, and all those nominees that were just on the screen are some of my favorite artists in the world, and I can't believe I'm nominated against them or even in this room."

"I feel so lucky to be able to come together and do something so special and beautiful and celebrate music," she added. "I want to thank all the fans that let my music be heard by the Recording Academy. I want to thank my mom for driving me to every voice lesson."

She continued, "'Short n' Sweet' means the world -- thank you to the producers and writers who made the album."

Other nominees in the category included "HIT ME HARD AND SOFT" by Billie Eilish, "eternal sunshine" by Ariana Grande, "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess" by Chappell Roan and "THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT" by Taylor Swift.
