The 67th annual Grammy Awards delivered a spectacular show, hosted by Trevor Noah at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Amid ongoing challenges in the U.S., the event provided a welcome distraction. One of the most emotional moments of the night came when Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga paid tribute to the areas of Los Angeles affected by recent wildfires. Their heartfelt performance of "California Dreamin’" honored the devastation left behind and the resilience of the affected communities.
Kendrick Lamar dominates the Grammys
Most of the 94 Grammy categories were announced before the main broadcast, but the biggest awards—Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year—were saved for the main event. Kendrick Lamar emerged as one of the night’s biggest winners, taking home Record of the Year for 'Not Like Us.' In his acceptance speech, he dedicated the award to his hometown of Los Angeles and the families impacted by the fires.
"This is the true testament that we can continue to restore the city," Lamar declared, reinforcing his deep connection to his roots and the resilience of his community.
