The 67th Grammy Awards are taking place Sunday at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, and the event is adopting a distinct tone this year. As Los Angeles continues to recover from devastating wildfires that destroyed over 14,000 structures and displaced tens of thousands, the Recording Academy has reformatted its award show to benefit wildfire victims.
The ceremony, which will hand out a whopping 85 awards, began with the Premiere Ceremony, where leading nominee Beyoncé earned her first win of the night for her collaboration with Miley Cyrus, 'II Most Wanted,' which took home the country duo/group performance award. This marks Beyoncé's first-ever win in a country category. The night saw a multitude of first-time Grammy winners, including Sabrina Carpenter, Charli xcx, Carin León, and Amy Allen. Sabrina Carpenter won her first Grammy for 'Espresso' in the best pop solo performance category, while Charli xcx secured two awards: best pop dance recording for 'Von Dutch' and best dance/electronic album for 'BRAT.' Carin León also claimed his first Grammy for his Música Mexicana album (including Tejano) 'Boca Chueca, Vol. 1,' and Amy Allen made history as the first woman to win songwriter of the year, non-classical. Other notable early winners included Kenrick Lamar, who won three awards for his ubiquitous track 'Not Like Us,' in the music video, rap song, and rap performance categories. This marks his seventh win in the latter category. Former President Jimmy Carter also received a posthumous Grammy Award for narrating 'Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration,' recordings from his final Sunday School lessons. A heartwarming performance opened the Premiere Ceremony, featuring Yolanda Adams, Wayne Brady, Deborah Cox, Pentatonix's Scott Hoying, Angelique Kidjo, and Taj Mahal delivering a soulful rendition of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water.' Throughout the night, the focus will remain on raising awareness and driving donations to funds that benefit those impacted by the wildfires. Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. emphasized the importance of recognizing the resilience of the music community and honoring first responders. The main show, hosted for the fifth consecutive year by comedian Trevor Noah, promises to be an unforgettable night filled with performances by some of the biggest names in music, a tribute to the late, legendary producer Quincy Jones, and historic moments.
