The 63rd Annual Grammy’s were hosted by Trevor Noah in Los Angeles California.  Although the majority of awards were announced during a livestream event before the show, the top award winners were revealed during the telecast.  

 

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion performed their hit “WAP” that had everyone talking when it debuted in August.  Twitter is buzzing again, debating if the performance was too explicit to be shown.  To be far, Trevor Noah did put out a warning before, “"If you have small children in the room, just tell them it's a song about giving a cat a bath." 

 

Taylor Swift won album of the year for “Folklore” and performed on a set with twinkling trees and a quaint cabin studio.  Other performers included Bad Bunny, and Dua Lipa.  Billie Eilish’s “Everything I Wanted” earned record of the year.Beyoncé won four awards, bringing her lifetime total to 28. She now holds the record for most Grammy wins by a female artist. Blue Ivy Carter, her daughter, also won her first award.  Megan Thee Stallion was the first female rapper to win the best new artist award since Lauryn Hill in 1999. She also won best rap performance and best rap song for “Savage” featuring Beyoncé.  Harry Styles won his first Grammy, about time!  Check below for a complete list of winners.
