Beyoncé grabs the moment with ‘Cowboy Carter’ victories, Kendrick Lamar cannot be stopped on the way to Super Bowl, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter Cement their pop -queen status

On the way to the Grammy in Los Angeles, there was no chance that the award ceremony would compare with someone else for it. It had the difficult task to set up a big show in the aftermath of the forest fires that destroyed the city and balanced the party with sorrow.

The Grammy’s took on a performance-first mindset, presented the Honorees and honor Quincy Jones and the resilience of the community of Los Angeles. It also left pop stars that have risen to viral fame for their performing bravery, do their thing on stage.

The winners were also unforgettable, in honor of Pop’s new class stars and giving Beyoncé, an old Honoree, the grand prize she has been working on for years. She drew her own haters by winning big, while Kendrick Lamar took five prizes home for leaning in his hatred against Drake.

Here are some highlights.

Beyoncé said in March 2024 that she was inspired to go land because she did not feel “welcomed” by the establishment. Now, Cowboy Carter is the album of the year. It is safe to say that she defended all expectations, including her own.

But if you are considering the cultural zeal around the project, her huge Grammy victory may not be a surprise at all. “Texas Hold” Em “hit number 1, just like the album. In April 2024, Bar owners told Yahoo Entertainment about the infectious energy in the room when Beyoncé’s country music came up. December’s “Beyoncé Bowl” was also a streaming and critical success.

“I think ‘genre’ is sometimes a code word to keep us in our place as artists,” said Beyoncé during her acceptance speech for Best Country album. She devoted her album of the year award to the Black Country Music legend Linda Martell and said, “I hope we just keep going and open doors.”

This was a long-awaited Grammy victory, in honor of not just the work of Beyoncé Cowboy Carter, But also her courage and versatility as an artist.

Lamar may just have the best February in human history. He won both the number of the year and the record of the year for his explosive DRAKE Diss -Track, “Not Like Us”.

“Not Like Us” was one of the songs of the summer. The number 1 reached in the middle of Lamar’s Veke with Drake, which is currently fighting back via the legal system. “Not Like US” also won prizes for the best rap number, the best rap performance and the best music video.

Lamar’s newest album, GNXCame out too late in 2024 to qualify for this year’s ceremony – but there is a chance that he will also dominate in 2025.

All this comes exactly a week before Lamar enters the stage at the Super Bowl Half -Time Show. We do not yet know which tricks he has in store – although we know that SZA will join him – but it is safe to say that he has a lot of momentum.

Commercials are too

The Super Bowl is perhaps the best day for commercials, but the Grammies gave them a run for their money.

The show gave commercial broadcasting time to local companies hit by the Branden van Los Angeles, including a place for a martial arts company in which Charlie Puth was thrown on the ground.

The internet was about a new Dunkin ‘Commercial with not only Ben and Casey Affleck, but Jeremy Strong, covered with coffee grounds.

Lady Gaga premiered with a new song and music video, ‘Abracadabra’, as part of a MasterCard advertisement.

Women – and versions – ruled the night

Women took almost every trophy home during the broadcast segment of the Grammy Awards, apart from two wins from Lamar and one co-win for Bruno Mars.

The newly beaten Queens of Pop – Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Charli XCX, all took Grammy’s home. They made a name for themselves as a must-watch artists at festivals and on their own breakout tours, and now that they have joined the ranks of the royalty of the Academy recording, their estate is forever insured.

Taylor Swift was particularly excluded from the prizes and broke her long line of dominance. Yet she appeared on the screen during the ceremony, dancing and supported for the big winners of the night.

It was also a huge breakout moment for artists who rose by the ranks in the past year. Benson Boone put several Flips on stage in a sparkling blue jumpsuit and Doechii delivered a well -choreographed performance. They are the ones who keep an eye on the following year.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night was a performance of The Weeknd, which in 2021 had given a harsh criticism at the recording academy. CEO Harvey Mason Jr. Recognized the complaints and said itself.

There were many versions in honor of Los Angeles. To open the show, Dawes performed a cover of Randy Newman’s “I Love La”, supported by John Legend, Sheryl Crow, Brad Paisley, Brittany Howard and St. Vincent. Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga dealt with ‘California Dreamin’, and Los Angeles fire -weather people were brought on stage to present the album of the year Award. Public members and viewers at home were regularly reminded that they could donate to charities to support natural fire lighting via a QR code during the broadcast.

Who could forget the tribute to the great producer and composer Quincy Jones, with the place of Janelle Monáe, Michael Jackson imitation? Stevie Wonder led a interpretation of “We Are the World” while clips of the original music video from 1985 were played in the background, supported by a choir of students from two schools that burned in the forest fires in Los Angeles.

The ceremony recorded what the Grammies should be – a celebration of music, which is meant to be both fun and powerful. When focusing on current events, on beloved artists and earning talent, the recording cademie deducted a memorable show.
