Lizzo wins the Grammy for record of the year

Lizzo took home one of the night’s biggest awards, record of the year, for “About Damn Time.” She dedicated her award to Prince.

“When we lost Prince, I decided to dedicate my life to making positive music,” she shared while accepting the award. “And I was like ‘I don't care if my positivity bother you, what's wrong with you?’”

She continued, “And this was at a time when positive music and feel-good music wasn't mainstream at that point. And I felt very misunderstood … But I stayed true to myself because I wanted to make the world a better place so I had to be that change to make the world a better place.”

She also thanked her supporters during her speech and shared a special dedication Beyoncé. “You changed my life,” she told her.


Bonnie Raitt wins song of the year

Bonnie Raitt won the Grammy for song of the year for "Just Like That."

In her acceptance speech, Raitt, 73, said she was "so surprised" and "totally humbled" to win, calling it an "unreal moment" for her.

"I was so inspired for this song by the incredible story of the love and the grace and the generosity of someone that donates their beloved's organs to help another person live," she said.

Raitt added, "I don't write a lot of songs, but I'm so proud that you appreciate this one and what this means for me and for the rest of the songwriters who I would not be up here tonight if it wasn't for the art of the great soul-digging, hard-working people that put these songs and ideas to music."


First lady Jill Biden presents 1st ever Song for Social Change Special Merit Award

First lady Jill Biden presented the Grammys new award, Song For Social Change Special Award, at Sunday night’s show.

The award, which was given to Iranian singer-songwriter Shervin Hajipour, is presented to the song that “responds to the social issues of our time, and has the potential for positive global impact,” Biden said.

The first lady said that the recipient of the award was selected by a blue ribbon committee and ratified by the Recording Academy board of trustees.

Hajipour’s song “Baraye” became the anthem of the Mahsa Amini protests and the related video was seen more than 40 million times on Instagram.


Trevor Noah to return as host for 3rd time

Former “Daily Show” host and comedian Trevor Noah will take the Grammys stage tonight to host the awards show for the third time.

Ahead of the show, he shared his approach to hosting with Billboard. “This is not my show, nor do I try to pretend that it is,” he said. “A good host is somebody who keeps the show moving in the right direction… It’s an awards show, but it’s also one of the greatest concerts you’ll ever get the opportunity to go to.”
