U2 delivered the first broadcast performance from Sphere Las Vegas, where the group currently has a residency.

The band performed "Atomic City" as moving visuals were projected on the sphere.

After their performance, they presented the Grammy for best pop vocal album to Taylor Swift for "Midnights."


Olivia Rodrigo performs ‘Vampire’

Three-time Grammy winner Olivia Rodrigo performed “Vampire” on the Grammy stage, decked out in a beautiful red gown with fake blood on her arms and face. The performance earned her a huge round of applause from the audience.

Heading into the night, the singer was nominated for six Grammys including album of the year, record of the year, song of the year, best pop solo performance, best pop vocal album and best rock song.


SZA gets emotional while accepting Grammy for best R&B song

SZA won the Grammy for best R&B song for "Snooze."

The singer got emotional while accepting the award, saying, "You don't really understand. I came really, really far, and I can't believe this is happening, and it feels very fake."

"I'm just very grateful and I'm not an attractive crier," she said before leaving the stage, prompting laughter from the audience.


Lainey Wilson wins best country album

Lainey Wilson won the Grammy for best country album for "Bell Bottom Country."

Kacey Musgraves presented the award to Wilson, who said that the album "truly changed my life."

Other nominees in the category included Kelsea Ballerini for "Rolling Up the Welcome Mat," Brothers Osborne for "Brothers Osborne," Zach Bryan for "Zach Bryan" and Tyler Childers for "Rustin' in the Rain."


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.
