As it happened: The 2023 Grammy Awards

Pop sensation Lizzo won the award for Record of the Year for her song "About Damn Time."

"This is so unexpected," she said while accepting the award.

She dedicated her win to the late music icon, Prince.

"When we lost Prince, I decided to dedicate my life to making positive music," she said, noting that she oftentimes felt "misunderstood" in the industry as feel-good music was not mainstream.

Remember: Record of the Year goes to the person who performed a song – and all those involved in the making of the song, like the producer, the engineer and the mixer.

Here's the difference between song, record and album of the year.

American blues singer Bonnie Raitt has won the award for Song of the Year for her track "Just Like That."

"I'm so surprised. I don't know what to say. This is just an unreal moment," she said while accepting her award.

She said the song was inspired by "the incredible story of the love and the grace and the generosity of someone that donates their beloved's organs to help another person live."

"This story was so simple and so beautiful for these times," she said.

Adele has won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance for her song "Easy on Me."

The English superstar dedicated the win to her son.

And a cute moment: "Get up here best friend," Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson said when presenting the award to Adele. They were introduced earlier in show during host Trevor Noah's opening bit. The comedian said Adele was a big fan of The Rock, but the two hadn't previously met.

From LL Cool J to Lil Baby, the Grammys honored the 50th anniversary of hip hop this year by bringing out a slew of the genre's biggest names.

"Multi-generational!" LL Cool J yelled at the end of the performance by dozens of artists, including Run DMC, Rakim, Salt-N-Peppa, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Queen Latifah, GloRilla and Ice-T — just to name a few.

The artists represented the entire country, from Bay area artist Too Short to Wu Tang's Method Man, who is Staten Island's finest.

The performance, which had the Grammys audience (and the CNN newsroom) on its feet, was curated by QuestLove.

It came after hip hop producer and artist Dr. Dre was presented with an inaugural award named after him.

It’s been a record-breaking night filled with some memorable performances. Take a look at some of the biggest moments from the Grammys so far.

Beyoncé won the award for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album for her project, "Renaissance."

She now has the most wins in Grammy Award history with 32.

She received a standing ovation from the likes of her husband, Jay-Z, Lizzo and many others in the arena.

While accepting her award, she thanked God, her family and the queer community.

"Renaissance" pulled inspiration from Black queer icons who pioneered house music: from trans icon Ts Madison and fashion pioneer Telfar Clemens, to late queen of the downtown drag scene, Moi Renee, and Beyoncé’s own uncle.

"I'm trying not to be too emotional," the singer said in her acceptance speech. "I'm trying to just receive this night."

CNN's Scottie Andrew contributed reporting.

Rapper Cardi B won fashion accolades on music’s biggest night.

While presenting the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, she wore a figure-hugging dress with silver accents that produced a sequined effect, as well as a complementary headdress.

Earlier in the night, the rapper wowed the red carpet in a sculptural electric blue gown by Indian designer Gaurav Gupta, who recently made his Haute Couture Week debut in Paris.

Back at the 2019 Grammy Awards, she stunned in a clam shell-inspired vintage Mugler dress.

The "in memoriam" portion of this year's Grammys was incredibly special, because they had various performers take to the stage to honor the talents we lost last year.

One of those poignant moments came from Sheryl Crow, who teamed up with two of her longtime idols, Mick Fleetwood and Bonnie Raitt, to honor the late Christine McVie, who famously was part of the band Fleetwood Mac. She died in November.

Crow spoke to CNN earlier this week about why it was such a "full circle" moment for her because she had been part of inducting the group into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

Three months after the murder of Takeoff, the rap artist's uncle and fellow Migos member Quavo performed a tribute to him during the Grammys "in memoriam" segment.

The gospel music group Maverick City Music joined Quavo to perform the tribute song, “Without You."

The song was released in January in honor of Takeoff who was shot and killed in Houston, Texas in November at age 28. The lyrics speak to Quavo’s grief for his loved one and collaborator.

“Tears rollin’ down my eyes/ Can’t tell you how many times I cried/ Days ain’t the same without you/ I don’t know if I’m the same without you,” Quavo ped.ps.e pair pair had been together when Takeoff was killed outside a private party.

Along with their longtime friend Offset, the two had been members of the platinum selling rap trio Migos. They released their final studio album, “Culture III,” in 2021.
