The 68th edition of the prestigious Grammy Awards took place in Los Angeles on Sunday with comedian Trevor Noah hosting the star-studded ceremony. Kendrick Lamar emerged as the night’s biggest winner, securing five awards, including Record of the Year and Best Melodic Rap Performance for Luther (with SZA). He was followed by Bad Bunny, who enjoyed a strong showing with three wins.
Beyond the major victories, the Recording Academy also made history by honoring two globally revered figures with their first-ever Grammy wins: veteran Hollywood filmmaker Steven Spielberg and the Dalai Lama.
