So, everyone better bring out their A-game if they want to end up on the best-dressed list.

The stars are out in force for the 65th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night. Here's a look at the most memorable outfits on the red carpet.

The country star said she intended to "get a few hugs in of some of my favourites, and just get up there and present best country album". Speaking to journalists on the red carpet, she said: "My whole country is watching and Brazil is waiting for this. If you have a story suggestion email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). For me, the victory is to be here tonight, to be honest." Singer and songwriter Anitta said she is "making history" as the first Brazilian artist to be nominated for best new artist at the Grammys in nearly half a century. Brandi Carlile was up for many of the night's biggest honours, including album and record of the year.

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards will air live on Sunday, Feb. 5 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Check out updates from music's biggest night.

[Beyoncé](https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/beyonc-posts-1st-tiktok-featuring-celebs-fans-dancing-86811106) leads this year's Grammy nominations with nine nods for her album ["Renaissance." It’s an awards show, but it’s also one of the greatest concerts you’ll ever get the opportunity to go to.” "Sour" artist Olivia Rodrigo took home the highly coveted best new artist award and best pop solo performance for her hit song "Drivers License." If she takes home two more wins during Sunday's show, she'll become the artist with the most Grammys ever. Lizzo also arrived on the carpet in a vibrant orange Dolce & Gabbana hooded floral cape and corset gown. The show, which will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, airs at 8 p.m.

On Sunday, Beyoncé surpassed orchestra conductor Georg Solti as the artist with the most Grammy wins of all time. Read her acceptance speech.

Beyonce on Sunday broke the record for the most Grammy wins of any artist, scoring her 32nd prize ever and fourth of the night to resounding applause.

"I'd like to thank my parents, my father, my mother, for loving me and pushing me. "I'm trying not to be too emotional. "I'd like to thank the queer community for your love, and for inventing this genre."

Beyoncé, who now has 30 awards, only needs two more wins to eclipse the record held by the late Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti, who has 31 Grammys.

The 65th annual Grammy awards has already seen wins for Kendrick Lamar, Steve Lacy and Beyoncé.

Noah hosted the ceremony as well, which saw [Jon Batiste take home](https://apnews.com/article/grammy-awards-chris-rock-covid-entertainment-health-6ce7f74b3cc70f3ead2659135415f839) album of the year.

"I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola, to honor her, her life, her joy, her trauma, everything," Davis said. There could be many other firsts during the ceremony: If Bad Bunny wins album of the year for "Un Verano Sin Ti," it would be the first time a Spanish-language album has taken home the top honor. The actor gave an emotional speech and emphatically said "I just EGOT" after she marched on stage to collect her award. The touching performances included Kacey Musgraves singing "Coal Miner’s Daughter" in tribute to Lynn; Quavo and the Maverick City Music hit the stage to honor his nephew Takeoff with the song "Without You;" and Sheryl Crow, Mick Fleetwood and Bonnie Raitt performed "Songbird" to remember McVie. Morales & The Big Steppers." The singer said recording the song was one of the "greatest experiences of my life. Sam Smith and Kim Petras won best pop duo-group performance for their song "Unholy." [Grammy Awards](https://grammy.com) with a festive, high-energy performance that brought many of the audience including Taylor Swift who rose to her feet and danced near her table at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena. "I don’t think I could be here without Madonna," Petras said. Once Beyonce finally arrived, Noah presented her with the best R&B song award at her table which included her husband Jay-Z and The-Dream.

Beyoncé has broken the record for the most Grammy Award wins of all time, after collecting her 32nd trophy at this year's ceremony. The singer made history ...

"I grew up next to nowhere in Germany and my mother believed me, that I was a girl," she said, as Smith looked on with pride. "From making it with two of my best friends to playing for people has been the greatest joy I could have asked for." If you have a story suggestion email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). "I made this album with love and passion, and when you do things with love and passion, everything is easier," said the singer. "I'm surprised traffic could stop you," joked host Trevor Noah once she arrived. Kacey Musgraves played a heartfelt version of Coal Miner's Daughter in tribute to the "Queen of Country" Loretta Lynn; while Fleetwood Mac star Christine McVie was honoured with a performance of her signature hit, Songbird, by Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt and Mick Fleetwood. She went on to thank the late, transgender pop artist Sophie for "kicking these doors open", and Madonna "for fighting for LGBTQ rights", before dedicating the award to her mother. The singer told the audience she had written the first verse "in the shower when I was choosing to change my son's life", by divorcing her then-husband, Simon Konecki. "Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I'm the first transgender woman to win this award," said the German-born singer. "This album from start to finish has been the greatest experience of my life," he said. She's up for the night's main prize, album of the year, as well as song and record of the year, both for her number one single Break My Soul. "I'm trying not to be too emotional," said the star, accepting the prize.

The 2023 Grammys featured performances by Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, and Lizzo, along with tributes to hip-hop and Smokey Robinson.

Clearly, that wasn’t even enough, after Beyoncé was snubbed in the category for a fourth time for [her earth-shaking seventh album Renaissance](https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/beyonce-renaissance-review.html). Lizzo brought a whole choir for her performance of “About Damn Time” and “Special,” with some church-worthy belting; Luke Combs showed off the vocals that got him out of his bar bouncer gig; and Mary J. The speech that followed was a rare moment of vulnerability from Bey, who, on the verge of tears, thanked her late Uncle Johnny and the queer community for paving the way for her dance history tribute Renaissance. [Vulture’s Rembert Browne wrote](https://www.vulture.com/2017/02/what-more-does-beyonc-have-to-do-to-win-album-of-the-year.html) she would “have to make an album of the decade” to win the top honor. The Grammys gave fans a bit of a warning by announcing that Quavo would be one of the In Memoriam performers, honoring his late nephew and collaborator Takeoff. Beyoncé wasn’t even there to see herself tie the record for most Grammy wins of all time because she was stuck in a limo on her way to Crypto.com Arena. (That said, [Petras gave a touching tribute to her late trans collaborator SOPHIE](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/sam-smith-kim-petras-grammys-win-history.html), while also managing to shout out her gay mother Madonna and her actual mother.) Not that it mattered — the tribute in honor of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary was an exciting, whiplash-inducing trip through rap history, featuring the most legends you could crowd on stage in 10 minutes. [Brandi Carlile](https://www.vulture.com/2021/04/interview-brandi-carlile-memoir-broken-horses.html) found a new way to break Grammys ground this year, netting awards for Best Rock Performance and Song. Younger acts like Billie Eilish, Lizzo, and Olivia Rodrigo have been some of the biggest Grammys players in recent years, so it’s great to see the Academy carrying on that investment to the next generation. In his third year of hosting, and first away from The Daily Show, Trevor Noah seemed more comfortable than ever at the Grammys. That happened tonight, when Benito kicked things off by snaking through the audience to an equally crowded stage, with dozens of dancers and a full backing band.

The Grammy Awards returned Sunday night. Here is our ranking of all the performances from the show.

But she was shut out of the major categories, despite fans and critics hoping this could be her first album of the year win for the acclaimed “Renaissance.” Lizzo landed record of the year for “About Damn Time,” livening up the nearly four-hour show with an ecstatic acceptance speech, and Bonnie Raitt stunned everyone with a win for song of the year for “Just Like That.” Jazz singer Samara Joy took home the best new artist trophy. Instead, the night’s most prestigious trophy went to pop star Harry Styles for his album “Harry’s House.” Styles appeared surprised as he arrived onstage, and the censors quickly jumped into action as he uttered a few shocked expletives.

Beyoncé became the most decorated artist in Grammys history, taking home the 32nd award of her career and breaking the conductor Georg Solti's 1997 record.

Beyoncé received her first Grammy in 2001 back when she was still a member of the R&B trio Destiny’s Child. [Harper's Bazaar](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a37039502/beyonce-evolution-interview-2021/) in August 2021 that she hoped her music would be a respite for the turbulent times we're living through. “There’s nothing like the amount of love, passion, and healing that I feel in the recording studio. I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible,” she said. Instead, The-Dream collected her best R&B song trophy on her behalf as one of the eight writers credited on the track, telling the audience, “Beyoncé thanks y’all.” And during the afternoon pre-show, she won as well for best dance/electronic recording for “Break My Soul” and best traditional R&B performance for “Plastic Off the Sofa.”

Harry Styles' picked up the coveted best album prize, Viola Davis completed an EGOT, and Beyoncé became the most decorated artist in Grammy history. Here are ...

but there was a glaring absence from Drake and Eminem, both of whom are boycotting the Grammys, saying it sidelines hip-hop from the major categories. "And ever since, we've gone everywhere," "This is just a magical evening. The newly-married Mr J. A deep and affectionate dive into black and gay dance culture, it was the most critically-acclaimed release of 2022. I felt on the outside looking in. Because it seems to be: "Stop being so impressive and write music we feel comfortable with". It's a sentiment that's not entirely out of character. This time Harry Styles took the crown. But for all that love, the big prizes have eluded her. This was at a time when positive music and feel-good music wasn't mainstream and I felt very misunderstood. "When we lost Prince I decided to dedicate my life to making positive music.

“It’s the best feeling in the world.” Been here from the start and your journey is so inspiring. Petras also lauded her duet partner, Smith, and revealed how their Grammy-winning collaboration came to be. We ain’t going no where, I t’s only up from here!!

[Harry Styles](https://www.theguardian.com/music/harry-styles)’s Harry’s House beating Renaissance to album of the year doesn’t feel the same as Beck’s Morning Phase triumphing over [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/dec/13/beyonce-album-first-review) in 2015, nor does it feel the same as if, say, Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres had won this year. [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/beyonce) has only ever won one of them once – song of the year in 2010 for Single Ladies – which seems a fairly inexplicable state of affairs: you don’t need to be a rabid member of the Bey Hive to know that she’s had an immense cultural and commercial impact over the last 20 years. Under the circumstances, Samara Joy – a hugely gifted jazz vocalist, gradually emerging as a significant songwriter as well as an adept interpreter of standards – feels like a worthwhile choice: rooted in tradition, but too soulful to qualify as easy listening. The weirdest success was Bonnie Raitt’s [Just Like That](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skd0XR3twCA) winning song of the year, at least from the perspective of the UK, where the album it’s from didn’t even make the charts. Certainly they’re one of the biggest-selling groups in a field where several of the nominees didn’t even seem particularly new: Molly Tuttle’s first album came out in 2006; Tobe Nwigwe’s first EP six years ago; Muni Long is 34 and released her debut album, albeit under her real name, Priscilla Renea, in 2009. Without wishing to cast shade on those doughtily toiling away in the areas covered by the best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media and best new age ambient or chant album categories, the Grammys are ultimately about four awards: album of the year, record of the year, song of the year and best new artist.

But her four victories didn't come in the major, all-genre categories — album, record and song of the year. (Those went to Harry Styles, Lizzo and Bonnie Raitt.) ...

[Bonnie Raitt](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/31/arts/music/bonnie-raitt-grammys-just-like-that.html), who had just joined a memorial for Christine McVie singing “Songbird,” was surprised when the Grammys chose “Just Like That” as song of the year. By the time she did step to the microphone for a proper [acceptance speech](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/05/arts/music/beyonce-grammys-win-record.html), having taken the all-time Grammy record and also opted not to perform, Beyoncé had made her priorities clear: She [posted to Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/CoTgYsmLl7G/) about her Grammy wins before actually showing her face at the Grammys. She is one of the mature singers and songwriters who have been relegated to formats like “Americana” and “Legacy.” But Raitt had learned from the best — notably John Prine — how to tell a sad but uplifting story with a voice and a small band. They shared a Temptations hit co-written by Robinson, “The Way You Do the Things You Do.” Robinson himself joined Wonder for a song they wrote together (along with Hank Cosby), “The Tears of a Clown”; then Wonder performed his own “Higher Ground” with the country hitmaker Chris Stapleton, and the music finally took off. [Beyoncé broke the record](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/06/arts/music/grammy-awards-beyonce-harry-styles.html) for most wins in the event’s history. [a rough draft of a hip-hop chronology](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/05/arts/music/grammys-hip-hop-50th-anniversary-performance.html) that was a cavalcade of dozens of performers onstage, most spitting a memorable line or verse, and a few — like a forthright Queen Latifah and a speed-tongued Busta Rhymes — getting more valuable seconds to show off. His performance — a medley of “El Apagón” (“The Blackout”), a tribute to Puerto Rican culture amid adversity, and “Después de la Playa” (“After the Beach”), a come-on — was a carnival and a dance party. ( [The-Dream](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/03/arts/music/the-dream-muni-long-grammys.html), one of her fellow writers, spent a few seconds onstage instead.) And when Noah, after blaming Los Angeles traffic, eventually did find Beyoncé at her table, bringing her the trophy she had won, the singer just nodded politely, giving him — and the show that would go on to both celebrate and disrespect her, again — basically nothing. Stan service gone wild was on full display during the misleading — and often humiliating — interstitial segments that showed (alleged) superfans of the 10 artists nominated for album of the year spouting P.R.

DJ Khaled ran up from his table to the front of the stage steps to wave a lighter, and, as the set finished, Machine Gun Kelly, who attended with fiancée Megan Fox, could be seen standing on a chair, despite being well over six feet tall. After about a minute of smiling and talking, the two parted, with Swift returning to her table where she sat with her frequent collaborator, Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff. Other stars sat comfortably back in their seats, bobbing their heads along to the music. (Earlier in the night, Swift jammed out to Styles' performance of "As it Was." Here are all the juicy highlights from Sunday night.

"For the Recording Academy and my peers to acknowledge me as a director, and in doing so, acknowledge my work to try and reclaim my music … Thank you to all the fans who willed this to happen." "I can't put into words what this means to me," she wrote. "I grew up next to a highway in Germany," Petras said. "And it has been such a journey. "I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola — to honor her life, her joy, her trauma, her everything," Davis said in her acceptance speech.

This year's Grammy Awards was a night to remember where social justice, the power of music, Black excellence, and LGBTQIA+ representation took center stage.

“It’s Black kids and white kids rejecting segregation in the 1950s, and instead, blending R&B, country, and even gospel into rock and roll,” the comedian said. However, the awards saw four artists take home a Grammy in their respective categories, which had the continent continuing the celebrations. ”Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I’m the first What a way to kick off the US and Canada's Black History Month! It’s the harmony of human beings of different races, genders, religions, identities, sexual orientations … Black History happened on our TV screens at this year’s Grammys when Lizzo took home Record of the Year, becoming the first Black woman to win the award this century. “In the 1980s, a young Black rapper from Queens and a Jewish white kid in his NYU dorm came together to make some of the greatest hip-hop of all time.

God bless you.” “I would like to thank the queer community,” said the performer, “for your love and for inventing the genre. Throughout her career, Beyoncé has used her music and her platform to advocate for women and girls through songs of female empowerment like “Run the world (girls).”

Beyoncé lost Album of the Year for Renaissance at the Grammys, for a fourth time, to Harry Styles's album Harry's House. Why did Harry Styles win the top ...

In [the new Songwriter of the Year award](https://www.vulture.com/2022/11/songwriter-of-the-year-grammy-why-it-matters.html), two of the five nominees had cuts on Styles’s album, including the eventual winner, Tobias Jesso Jr. (It’s a little surprising “As It Was” didn’t earn any hardware, but the wins for Harry’s House seem to be recognition of the album as a body of hits.) After the Academy was criticized for giving Jon Batiste’s We Are, an album without a single top-40 hit, AOTY last year, Styles’s project gave them the opportunity to be on the pulse, at no expense of its perspective. [Shania Twain](https://www.vulture.com/2022/04/harry-styles-late-night-talking-boyfriends-shania-twain-coachella.html)) and present ( [Lizzo](https://www.vulture.com/2022/04/harry-styles-lizzo-i-will-survive-coachella-surprise-guest.html)). As it faded out, Styles and his team teed up hits-in-waiting “Late Night Talking” and “Music for A Sushi Restaurant,” both of which hit the top ten. Styles had a hold on the charts as well, with “As It Was” logging a record five separate runs atop the Hot 100, from its No. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, or Lizzo stole votes from her, why didn’t the same happen to Styles with ABBA, Adele, or Coldplay?)
