As it happened: The 2023 Grammy Awards

We’ve wrapped up our live coverage. Read more on the night’s big moments here, or scroll through the updates below to experience the show as it happened.

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards was one for the books, filled with historic moments and celebration of music and audio work from all walks of life.

Beyoncé made history with her 32nd Grammy win, now the most all-time, and Bad Bunny earned the award show’s first album of the year nomination for a project completely in Spanish (he also won Best Música Urbana Album for his work, “Un Verano Sin Ti”).

Viola Davis achieved EGOT status after winning the Grammy for Best Audio Book Narration and Storytelling for her memoir “Finding Me.”

The show also celebrated 50 years of hip hop music with a medley of performers from through the generations. And a new award honoring social justice highlighted the work of Iranian artist Shervin Hajipour.

Here’s who won the biggest honors of the night:

Sunday’s Grammy Awards seemed to have something for almost everyone.

The show has often been targeted as out of touch with music lovers, awarding some of its biggest trophies to winners that were discussed and disputed all over social media.

On the night Beyoncé broke the record for the most wins in the history of the award show, things felt a little different.

That’s not to say that there were no surprises. Even Bonnie Raitt seemed flabbergasted by her Song of the Year win. And Bey fans are surely disappointed that Album of the Year went to Harry Styles (though most people can’t help but love him, even if they were pulling for someone else).

This year just felt more inclusive.

In 2020, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which puts on the show, addressed allegations of having a lack of diversity and being a “boys club.” They announced a series of initiatives to address it and opened up their membership ranks to make it more diverse.

On Sunday, the show’s epic hip hop tribute, marking 50 years for the genre with an all-star lineup that spanned decades of hip hop history, made for some of the show’s most memorable moments. Lizzo gave one of the night’s most striking speeches, celebrating positivity in popular music, including themes of body inclusivity.

Bad Bunny earned the award show’s first Album of the Year nomination for a project completely in Spanish. He was the show’s opening performer and ultimately won Best Música Urbana Album for his work, “Un Verano Sin Ti.”

In a night that also featured a 23-year-old Black jazz singer, Samara Joy, winning Best New Artist, and Sam Smith and Kim Petras making Grammys history as the first non-binary and transgender duo to win in the Best Duo category, it felt like some strides were made.

CNN’s Matt Meyer contributed to this post.

Harry Styles won the award for Album of the Year for his project “Harry’s House.”

“This is really, really kind. I’m so, so grateful,” he said while accepting the award. “This doesn’t happen to people like me very often and this is so, so nice.”

He said he was “so inspired” by each of the artists nominated within the category, which included Beyoncé’s “Renaissance,” Lizzo’s “Special” and Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres.”

American jazz singer Samara Joy, 23, has won the award for Best New Artist.

“All of you have inspired me because of who you are,” the Bronx, New York, native said while accepting her award. “You express yourself for exactly who you are authentically, so to be here by just being myself, by just being who I was born as, I’m so thankful.”

First lady Jill Biden got a standing ovation as she presented the first ever Grammy for Best Song for Social Change.

The award went to Iranian artist Shervin Hajipour for his song “Baraye.” The song has been labeled the anthem for Iran’s protest movement, sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.

“This song became the anthem for the Mahsa Amini protests. A powerful and poetic call for freedom and women’s rights,” Biden said.

Biden noted that Hajipour has been arrested by Iranian authorities.

Hajipour posted the video of himself singing “Baraye” on Instagram on Sept. 27, 2022, and was arrested two days later. The song was viewed over 40 million times on his Instagram page before he took it down on the day of his arrest.

“Baraye,” which in English translates to “For…,” has been watched by millions across the globe.

The poignant two-and-a-half-minute ballad is based on tweets composed by Iranians expressing their anger and frustration with the government. Hajipour despondently sings about reasons why Iranians feel called to protest, including “for dancing in the street,” “for yearning for a normal life ” and “for the children who pick through the trash in search of their dreams.”

CNN’s Artemis Moshtaghian, Celine Alkhaldi and Ramin Mostaghim contributed to this report.

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.

“But I stayed true to myself because I wanted to make the world a better place, so I had to be that change,” she said.

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.

“I just want to dedicate this to my son, Angelo,” she said. “I wrote this first verse in the shower when I was choosing to change my son’s life, and he’s been nothing but humble and gracious and loving to me the whole time.”

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.

For a full look at the night as it unfolds, check out our photo gallery.

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.

“Fleetwood Mac in general were monumentally important to me as a young girl growing up, trying to figure out what kind of artist I wanted to be,” she said. “It’s hard to see (Christine) go. The honor is for me, really, to get to honor her.”

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.

Beyoncé made a stir when she finally arrived at Crypto.com Arena for the Grammys telecast, but the first shot of Bey at her table with her husband also gave viewers at home something to relate to.

Host Trevor Noah made the announcement that Bey was in the house while standing right next to her table. When cameras panned over to Beyoncé’s husband, rap legend Jay-Z, he seemed totally unfazed by the big moment. Instead, he was nibbling on what appeared to be some crackers.

The best part was that he held them in his hand — and when he thought Noah was done speaking, he began to eat again.

A man’s gotta eat!

Beyoncé wasn’t present to accept the Grammy award that tied her with Georg Solti’s 31-win record. Noah had earlier said that Los Angeles traffic was to blame for her absence in the historic moment.

Kendrick Lamar took home the award for Best Rap Album for his project “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.”

He said the album was one of his “toughest records to make.”

While accepting his award, he thanked his family for giving him “the courage and the vulnerability to share these stories and share my truth with this album.”

He also thanked his fans and “the culture” for his win.

Beyoncé has finally arrived to the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, after being delayed by traffic, according to host Trevor Noah.

Queen Bey was shown sitting at her table with rapper Jay-Z, the other half of one of music’s most prodigious power couples.

Earlier in the show, Noah had said: “Beyoncé is on her way. But, you know, the upside of hosting the Grammys in LA … is that everyone can be here. The downside of hosting the Grammys in LA is the traffic.”

Bad Bunny has won the award for Best Música Urbana Album for his work, “Un Verano Sin Ti.”

He said he made the album with “love and passion” and dedicated his award to Puerto Rico, where he is from.

“I dedicate this award to Puerto Rico, the birthplace and capital of reggaeton throughout the world,” the superstar artist said in Spanish while accepting the award. “I want to dedicate it to all the legends and especially, also, to the new ones that keep the movement alive and fresh. Thanks to all the new talent, let’s keep taking this genre to another level.”

Pop superstar Lizzo performed a medley that included her Grammy-nominated song “About Damn Time” and “Special,” from her Grammy-nominated album of the same name.

Lizzo is nominated in five categories total.

Host Trevor Noah said artists were still trickling in during the first hour of tonight’s telecast — pointing the blame at a familiar foe: Los Angeles traffic.

“For real, Beyoncé is on her way. But, you know, the upside of hosting the Grammys in LA … is that everyone can be here. The downside of hosting the Grammys in LA is the traffic. Beyoncé is on her way,” said Noah, after Queen Bey won her historic 31st Grammy.

Noah referenced in an earlier bit that artists were still entering the building as a group of people passed him in the audience, also blaming the traffic.

Sam Smith and Kim Petras have won the award for Best Duo or Group Performance for their song “Unholy.”

Petras, who is transgender, gave the acceptance speech on the duo’s behalf.

She thanked “all the transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open for me.” She also gave special thanks to her mother and Madonna.

“I don’t think I could be here without Madonna,” Petras said.

“A Beautiful Time” by Willie Nelson has won the award for Best Country Album.

The performer was not present to accept the award.

Beyoncé has won the Grammy for Best R&B Song for “CUFF IT” off her album “Renaissance.”

It brings her one step closer to officially becoming the artist with the most Grammy wins in history — she’s now tied with conductor Sir Georg Solti, who has won 31.

The award was presented by EGOT Viola Davis, who won her first Grammy earlier today.

Beyoncé did not accept the award in person. According to host Trevor Noah, she was still on her way to Crypto.com Arena.

Legend Nile Rodgers, who performed on the song, accepted the award on Beyoncé’s behalf. Rodgers expressed gratitude for being a part of the project. As a co-founder of the 1970s group Chic, he is considered one of the architects of the sound which “Renaissance” paid homage to.

CNN’s Lisa Respers France contributed to this report.

The award for Best Pop Vocal Album goes to Harry Styles for his project “Harry’s House.”

“This album from start to finish has been the greatest experience of my life, from making it with two of my best friends, to playing it for people, has been the greatest joy I could’ve asked for,” the entertainer said while accepting the award.

Host Trevor Noah decided to introduce superstar singer Adele to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson during his opening bit.

Noah said that he made it a point to learn facts about the artists attending this year’s show, and noted that he learned Adele is a fan of Johnson’s but had never met him.

Noah then announced that “The Rock” was here and introduced the two.

Bad Bunny is the opening act for this year’s Grammys.

The Puerto Rican artist strutted to the stage with a colorful backdrop of performers.

He performed “El Apagón” and “Después de la Playa.” Both tracks are from his Spanish-language album, “Un Verano Sin Ti,” which has already made Grammys history.

The artist, who scored three nominations, earned the award show’s first album of the year nomination for a project completely in Spanish.

The telecast for the 2023 Grammy Awards is underway in Los Angeles at Crypto.com Arena (yes, formerly known as the Staples Center).

Host Trevor Noah returns for a third consecutive year.

Some of the awards have already been handed out pre-show. Check out our updating list of winners here.

Harry Styles eschewed formalwear in favor of a sparkling technicolor jumpsuit on the Grammys red carpet.

The outfit, by EgonLab, was adorned with Swarovski crystals and revealed a collection of butterfly and bird tattoos on his otherwise bare chest. The look divided social media, with comments ranging from “he can literally wear anything” to “looks like he forgot the jacket.”

Styles, who picked up six nominations, is one of fashion’s most daring dressers. In recent years, he has traded a once preppy style for more experimental and gender-fluid takes — including the Gucci jacket and dress he famously wore on the cover of American Vogue.

“You can never be overdressed. There’s no such thing,” he told the publication at the time, adding: “Now I’ll put on something that feels really flamboyant, and I don’t feel crazy wearing it. I think if you get something that you feel amazing in, it’s like a superhero outfit.”

At the 2021 Grammys, Styles wore not one, but three, feather boas as he made several outfit changes through the evening. Fashion-watchers will no doubt look forward to seeing what he’ll wear next, as he prepares to take the stage for a performance at tonight’s ceremony.

Styles is nominated for six Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year for his album “Harry’s House.”

Fashion-watchers have come to expect risqué looks at the Grammys, and stars are already vying for “iconic” status with dramatic silhouettes and loud color choices.

“Unholy” duo Kim Petras and Sam Smith showed up in bold red ensembles, the latter completing his outfit with a matching top hat and cane.

Elsewhere, Lizzo made an early statement in a flowy, tangerine-colored cape by Dolce & Gabana and Shania Twain paired bright crimson locks with a polka-dotted two-piece by designer Harris Reed.

Smokey Robinson was trying to break the internet last week with the announcement of his new album “Gasms.”

During an interview for “E!” with LaVerne Cox on the Grammys red carpet, the 82-year-old legend said he was trying to stir up some controversy. He did just that with the provocative album title, and songs like “I Wanna Know Your Body,” “I Fit In There” and “You Fill Me Up.”

“When you say ‘Gasms,” people think ‘orgasms,’ but ‘gasms’ can mean anything that makes you feel good,” the iconic singer said as he held his wife of more than 20 years, Frances Glandney.

Where there’s Smokey, there’s fire!

Taylor Swift arrived to the red carpet in a midnight blue dress by Roberto Cavalli.

It’s a fitting look for the star’s latest album, “Midnights,” which was not nominated.

But that doesn’t mean Swift, a staple at the award show in recent years, isn’t going without recognition tonight. Her “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (The Short Film)” is nominated for Song of the Year and “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)” is nominated for Best Country Song.

Bad Bunny’s album “Un Verano Sin Ti” has made Grammys history before the award show even begins.

The artist, who has scored three nominations for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, has become the first to score an album of the year nomination for a project completely in the Spanish language.

“Un Verano Sin Ti,” which translates to “A Summer Without You,” is also the first album to receive an album of the year nomination at both the Grammys and the Latin Grammys.

In addition to his album of the year nod, Bad Bunny scored nominations in the best pop solo performance and best música urbana album categories.

The Puerto Rican artist has previously been nominated for six Grammys and won two of them. Last year, he won for best música urbana album for “El Último Tour Del Mundo,” and in 2020, he won best latin pop or urban album for his second solo studio album, “YHLQMDLG.”

Two is the magic number for Beyoncé.

That’s the number of wins she needs to officially become the artists with the most Grammy wins in history. She currently has 30 wins (having already won two Grammys during the pre-show) and two more would have her surpassing conductor Sir Georg Solti, who has won 31.

Queen Bey has already done the damn thing when it comes to the Grammys.

With her previous 28 wins, she is the most-awarded female artist in Grammys history. And with her nine nominations this time around, Beyoncé tied her husband Jay-Z as the artist with the most career Grammy nominations.

The rapper had topped the list of all-time noms with 83, followed by Sir Paul McCartney with 81 and Quincy Jones with 80.

Jay-Z’s additional nominations this year brought him to 88, which his wife tied when she added nine nominations to her previous 79.

It seems Grammys 2023 will look a lot like Grammys 2017, with another high-profile matchup between Adele and Beyoncé.

The pair is facing off again with their nominations in major categories: record of the year, song of the year and album of the year.

This time around, Beyoncé has nine noms and Adele has seven.

Of course, there are other artists nominated in those categories, but there is history when it comes to the self-proclaimed Bey super fan Adele and Beyoncé herself.

Adele swept the top honors in 2017 with five total awards, including album of the year for “25.”

Beyoncé won two, including best music video for “Formation” and best urban contemporary album for “Lemonade.”

It caused a major buzz among the Beyhive – as Beyoncé’s devoted fan base is known – and even complaints that racism may have influenced the voting.

Adele said in 2017 that she had voted for Beyoncé and paid homage to her during her album of the year acceptance speech.

The British singer called Beyoncé the “artist of my life” and her “Lemonade” album “just so monumental.”

It brought Bey, who was then pregnant with her twins, to tears.

Both women performed at the Grammys that year.

The music industry’s biggest names are arriving on the red carpet for the 65th annual Grammy Awards.

The nominations are filled with artists known for their sense of style, including Beyoncé, Doja Cat and Bad Bunny. And with presenters ranging from First Lady Jill Biden to Hollywood actor Viola Davis, fashion-watchers are expecting an array of looks on a night known for bold, eye-catching style.

See below for some of the best outfits so far, and check out our updating gallery of red carpet looks here.

The 65th Grammy Awards are being presented on Sunday.

While most of the major awards are announced in the televised ceremony at 8 p.m. ET, winners have already been publicly selected in a variety of categories.

The full list of nominees in more than 91 categories can be found here.

Here are artists who have won 2023 Grammys so far:

Yes, it’s confusing, so we won’t hold it against you if you don’t have a clue what the difference is between Grammy’s Song of the Year and Record of the Year categories.

But here’s some help, straight from the Grammy website:

Ozzy Osbourne’s album “Patient Number 9” has won the Grammy award for best rock album.

The win comes days after Osbourne announced the cancellation of his upcoming shows on tour. The 74-year-old last week said his touring career is over because “he is not physically capable (of it).”

At least they are keeping it in the family.

Beyoncé has tied her husband Jay-Z as the artist with the most career Grammy nominations.

Before the latest round of noms, the rapper topped the all-time list with 83, followed by Sir Paul McCartney with 81, Quincy Jones with 80 and Beyoncé with 79.

Beyoncé has now added nine to her total, including album of the year for “Renaissance” and song of the year for “Break My Soul.”

Her project also helped her husband increase his total, as he snagged five additional nominations, including as one of the songwriters of “Break My Soul.”

The four-nomination difference was enough to pull the power couple neck-and-neck at 88 apiece.

With Bey’s eighth record of the year nomination, she broke a tie with the legendary Frank Sinatra, who notched seven noms in that category during his career.

Jay-Z will be competing against himself for song of the year, as he is also nominated in that category for the DJ Khaled single “God Did.”

Trevor Noah will return as master of ceremonies of the Grammy Awards for the third consecutive year, CBS announced.

Noah will also serve as a producer for the 65th annual event.

“I’m super excited to be hosting the #Grammys once again!” Noah posted on social media, sharing a Billboard magazine cover with him and the words “2023 Grammy Voter Guide.”

“Tune in Sunday, Feb 5th on @cbstv,” he added.

The Grammys will be broadcast live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The show will air on CBS and stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

Noah recently ended his run as host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” after seven years.

Decorated actress Viola Davis made history and earned the prestigious EGOT status Sunday by winning a Grammy for Best Audio Book Narration and Storytelling for her memoir “Finding Me.”

An artist achieves an EGOT when they win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and a Tony Award in their career.

Davis said in her acceptance speech: “I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola. To honor her, her life, her joy, her trauma, everything. And, it has just been such a journey – I just EGOT!”

Davis won her first Tony Award in 2001 for her role in “King Hedley II” and won her first Oscar in 2017 for her role in “Fences.”

Davis received her first Emmy in 2015 for her lead role in “How to Get Away with Murder,” making her also the first Black woman to win lead actress in a drama.

Most recently, Jennifer Hudson achieved EGOT status in 2022.
