The 2025 Grammy Awards officially commenced on Sunday, 2nd February 2025, marking the grandest night in music. Hosted for the fifth consecutive year by the ever-charming Trevor Noah, the event took place at the iconic Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles. The annual celebration by the Recording Academy honoured 2024’s breakout stars, chart-topping hits, and artists who dominated playlists over the past year.
This year’s ceremony saw Beyoncé clinch the coveted Album of the Year award for Cowboy Carter, while Kendrick Lamar swept all his nominated categories, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year for his powerful track Not Like Us.
However, the 2025 Grammys were not solely about celebrating music. The night also paid tribute to the brave first responders who risked their lives during the devastating Los Angeles wildfires last month. Additionally, it raised funds for the thousands of Southern California residents displaced by catastrophic weather events, which left entire communities irreparably damaged.
So, who emerged victorious in the most prestigious categories? Below is the complete list of this year’s Grammy winners:
