When the host Trevor Noah closed the 67th Grammy Awards, he spoke out loudly what was in everyone’s mind.
“We have finally seen that it will happen,” he said. “Beyoncé finally won the album of the year.”
His first album of the year wins for Cowboy Carter represents an important new step for the career for Beyoncé, which holds the record to be both the most nominated and the most rewarded artist in the history of the Grammy. During the acceptance of the prize, which was given to her by the firefighters of the County of Los Angeles, she dedicated the historic victory to the pioneer of Country music Linda Martell. Beyoncé also won the best duo Country Duo / Group for her song “II Most Wanted” FT. Miley Cyrus. Earlier at night – with what seemed to be an authentic workforce – Bey accepted the Grammy for the best Country album after being significantly excluded from the prices of the Country Music Association last year.

In another remarkable scan, Kendrick Lamar won gramophones for the song of the year, the disc of the year, the best rap song, the best rap performance and the best clip for “Not like Us”. The Diss, which was largely considered to be the drop of final microphone in the rapper’s current beef with Drake, is also at the center of a legal battle that Drake led against Universal Music Group. In his complaint, the Canadian rapper claims the label – which represents both him and Lamar – threatened his livelihoods by promoting the song. Nevertheless, Lamar’s victories this evening come in the heels of a one -month victory tour for the rapper, who released his album Gnx In November and will be the head of the Super Bowl part-time show next week.
In a surprising decision of the night, the favorites of the Billie Eilish Academy and Taylor Swift have won no prices. Instead, a large part of the emphasis was on the increase in talents. The last of the four main categories – the best new artist – has represented one of the most competitive races of the ceremony. Following an electric electric interpretation of its single in small groups “Pink Pony Club” earlier in the show, Chappell Roan beat its nominated compatriots Sabrina Carpenter, Shaboozey, Benson Boone, Teddy Swims, Raye, Khruangbin and Doechii , which also delivered one of the most memorable performances of the night. In Roan’s acceptance speech, the “Midwest princess” directly criticized the music industry while pleading for habitable wages for growing artists. She talked about her own struggle to find a job and access health care after being abandoned from her first label during the pandemic. “It was so devastating to feel so attached to my art and feel so betrayed by the system,” she said. “The labels, we have you. But you have us?”
