2023 Grammys recap: Biggest wins, all the star-studded performances and more

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.

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.

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 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.
