From Kendrick Lamar’s Not Like Us sweep to Chappell Roan’s long-awaited Best New Artist win and Doechii making history with Best Rap Album, the 2025 GRAMMYs were nothing short of legendary. Here’s the rundown of the stars and projects that took home the gold at this year’s ceremony.
2025 GRAMMYs, it’s a wrap! And what a night it’s been—an unforgettable evening of celebration, with our favourite music icons shining bright and raising funds for those impacted by the devastating LA fires. Beyoncé made history, snagging the night’s biggest award, Best Album of the Year—her first win in the category, despite being the most-nominated artist of all time. Blue Ivy Carter joined mum on stage, earning a standing ovation from the crowd. And that’s not all—Queen Bey also walked away with Best Country Album, making her the first woman ever to claim that honour.
Kendrick Lamar was the night’s biggest winner, sweeping the major categories with Not Like Us, which earned him both Best Song and Best Record—and three other wins—proving that even a diss track can get its flowers. Meanwhile, Doechii made history of her own with Alligator Bites Never Heal, scoring Best Rap Album and becoming just the third woman to ever take home the trophy. And, true to form, she delivered a show-stopping performance—tailored outfits, flawless braids, an army of dancers, and those iconic vocals.
As for performances, Charli XCX, now a three-time GRAMMY winner, set the stage on fire with the brattiest performance in GRAMMY history, bringing along besties Gabriette and Alex Consani, plus everyone’s favourite, The Dare, for the ultimate party-girl moment.
Also making her GRAMMY debut, Sabrina Carpenter snagged her first-ever award for Short n’ Sweet in the Best Pop Vocal category—long overdue, just like Chappell Roan’s much-anticipated Best New Artist win.
