Of course, the Grammys also host incredible performances, and stunning red carpet looks in addition to awards. Throughout the night, the Recording Academy honors artists who change the lives of their fans, and that’s not a statement taken lightly. In all of their moments, fans turn to music — bright ones, dark ones, moments of joy, and ones of sadness.
With the Foo Fighters winning in all three nominated categories, Kanye winning an early two awards, and Brothers Osborne winning before the ceremony airing, the stars were ready for a night of celebration.
From first-time nominees to those who have walked the carpet and graced the stage before, the 2022 Grammys were a tight race this year, and we’re thrilled to share the big winners from tonight with you.
