2019 Grammy Awards: Full Nominees & Winners

See our Grammy winner predictions and live tweets

It’s the day after the Grammy Awards and we’ve officially survived memorable red carpet moments, shining live performances, and nailbiting close-call wins by artists across all genres of music. The night was led by 15-time Grammy winner, Alicia Keys and included iconic performances by Cardi B, H.E.R., Dua Lipa and St. Vincent, Lady Gaga and Mark Ronson, Chloe x Halle, Miley Cyrus and Shawn Mendes, Diana Ross, Janelle Monáe, Travis Scott, Post Malone with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Dolly Parton & co., and many more.

 
The 61st Grammy Awards were also filled with a few exciting firsts — including Childish Gambino‘s “This Is America” becoming the first rap song to nab both Record of the Year and Song of the Year, and Cardi B becoming the first solo female artist to win Best Rap Album for Invasion of Privacy. K-pop superstars BTS attended and presented H.E.R. with the Grammy for Best R&B Album, Dua Lipa won her first pair of golden phonographs for Best New Artist and Best Dance Recording, Ariana Grande‘s Sweetener landed the pop star her first win for Best Pop Vocal Album, and the throttling “Shallow” from ‘A Star Is Born’ secured Bradley Cooper and Gaga the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
 
Finally, Kacey Musgraves shocked some and thrilled many with her show-closing win of Album of the Year for Golden Hour. The first country album to win the top prize since Taylor Swift’s Fearless swept the evening in 2010.
