Adele wins the award for best pop solo performance

The hitmaker won the Grammy for best pop solo performance for her song "Easy On Me." She dedicated her win to her son Angelo.

"I wrote this first verse in the shower when I was choosing to change my son's life, and he's been nothing but humble and gracious and loving to me the whole time," she said in her acceptance speech.

Other artists nominated in the category included Bad Bunny, Doja Cat, Steve Lacy, Lizzo and Harry Styles.


Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott, Salt-N-Pepa, Run DMC, Busta Rhymes and more celebrate 50 years of hip-hop

Hip-hop’s biggest stars celebrated 50 years of the music genre with an electrifying performance.

The segment, which was introduced by LL Cool J and produced by Questlove, featured several iconic artists including Big Boi, Queen Latifah, Run DMC, Salt-N-Pepa, Busta Rhymes, Ice-T and more.

Ahead of the showstopping performance, hip-hop legend, rapper and record producer Dr. Dre was honored with the Global Impact Award for his achievements in the music industry. Leading up to the Grammys, Missy Elliott, Lil Wayne and music executive Sylvia Rhone also received the award at the Recording Academy Honors presented by the Black Music Collective.

“This is the 50th anniversary of hip-hop… and where would I be without it?” Dre said. “Scratching and mixing on the turn tables had me hooked and became the entry point of a 40-year career of doing something that I really love.”


Beyoncé makes history, becomes artist with most Grammys ever

Beyoncé is now the artist with the most Grammys ever.

The singer has already taken home four of the nine awards for which she is nominated at the 2023 Grammys: best dance/electronic album for "Renaissance," best R&B song for her hit song, "Cuff It," best dance-electronic music recording for "Break My Soul" and best traditional R&B performance for "Plastic off the Sofa."

Going into the 65th Grammy Awards, Beyoncé was already the most awarded female artist in Grammys history with 28 wins. She needed just four wins to overtake late conductor Georg Solti's record of 31 wins.


In Memoriam honors Loretta Lynn, Takeoff and Christine McVie

The Grammys paid tribute to some of the musical icons who died over the past year during the "In Memoriam" segment.

Kacey Musgraves honored Loretta Lynn, who died in her sleep in October 2022 at age 90, with a performance of Lynn's famous song "Coal Miner's Daughter."

Paying tribute to rapper Takeoff, who died in November 2022 at age 28 after being fatally shot in Houston, were Quavo and Maverick City Music performing Quavo's song "Without You." Quavo and Takeoff, along with Takeoff's cousin Offset, formed the rap group Migos.

Sheryl Crow, Mick Fleetwood and Bonnie Raitt also took to the stage to honor Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie -- who died in November 2022 at age 79 "following a short illness" -- with their rendition of "Songbird."


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.”
