The 68th annual GRAMMY Awards took place in Los Angeles on Sunday evening, with Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Lady Gaga, Jelly Roll, Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell taking home major awards.
The winners:

Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny won Album of the Year for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, the first-ever Spanish language album to win the award.
He also won Best Música Urbana Album.
Lady Gaga won two awards, with MAYHEM anointed Best Pop Vocal Album, and “Abracadabra” Best Dance Pop Recording.
British singer Olivia Dean was crowned Best New Artist.
Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell won Song of the Year for “WILDFLOWER.”
Jelly Roll won Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken.
Record breakers:
Kendrick Lamar won two gongs, with “luther” (with SZA) taking home Record of the Year, and GNX Best Rap Album.
By doing so he became the most awarded hip-hop artist in GRAMMY history, beating Jay-Z’s record.
He is also the first man to win Record of the Year consecutively, and the first rapper ever to claim the honor twice.
Also breaking records was KPop Demon Hunters’ “Golden,” which became the first KPop song to win a GRAMMY.
The full list of winners is here.
Yes, it’s political:
Both Eilish and Bad Bunny used their speeches to criticize ICE and President Trump’s crackdown on immigration, with Eilish stating, “No one is illegal on stolen land.”
