Trevor Noah delivers opening monologue

Trevor Noah took the Grammys stage to welcome everybody to the 66th annual awards show following Dua Lipa's opening performance.

Just as the comedian was noting how women dominated this year in music, Taylor Swift made her way through the audience.

"Are you seeing what's happening right now? As Taylor Swift moves through the room, the local economy around those tables improves," Noah joked. "Can you see that? Look at this magic right now. Look at this magic. Lionel Richie? Now Lionel Wealthy."

Noah also commented on Universal Music Group pulling its music off TikTok amid a licensing dispute.

"So, right now the CEO of TikTok is sitting at home, watching this show, eating ice cream [and] crying, seeing all his exes in one room," he said.


Miley Cyrus wins best pop solo performance

Miley Cyrus won the Grammy for best pop solo performance for her song "Flowers."

The award was presented by singer Mariah Carey.

“This MC is gonna stand by this MC because this is so iconic,” Cyrus said, referring to Carey. “Oh, my god, I just got stuck in the rain and traffic and thought I was going to miss this moment, and I could have missed the award, that's fine, but not Mariah Carey!”

Other nominees in the category included "Paint the Town Red" by Doja Cat, "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish, "Vampire" by Olivia Rodrigo and "Anti-Hero" by Taylor Swift.


Dua Lipa opens the show with a medley of ‘Training Season,’ 'Dance the Night,' ‘Houdini’

The Grammys kicked off with an electrifying performance by Dua Lipa.

The singer sang a snippet of her unreleased song, “Training Season,” along with "Dance the Night" and “Houdini.”

"Training Season" is out Feb. 15.


Michelle Obama wins Grammy for 'The Light We Carry'

Former first lady Michelle Obama won the Grammy for best audio book, narration, and storytelling recording for her book "The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times," released in November 2022.

The win was announced Sunday during the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony.

Obama is already a Grammy winner, having previously won for her 2018 memoir "Becoming."


Miley Cyrus wins record of the year

Miley Cyrus won the Grammy for record of the year for her song "Flowers."

Meryl Streep presented the award with her son-in-law Mark Ronson.

"Thank you all so much," Cyrus said while accepting the award. "This award is amazing, but I really hope that it doesn't change anything, because my life was beautiful yesterday. Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular, so please don't think that this is important -- even though it's very important, right, guys?"

Cyrus also won the Grammy for best pop solo performance earlier this evening, for "Flowers."

Other nominees in the record of the year category included "Worship" by Jon Batiste, "Not Strong Enough" by boygenius, "What Was I Made For? by Billie Eilish, "On My Mama" by Victoria Monét, "Vampire" by Olivia Rodrigo, "Anti-Hero" by Taylor Swift and "Kill Bill" by SZA.
