2025 GRAMMYs: Beyoncé makes history, Kendrick Lamar dominates with five awards

The 2025 GRAMMY Awards delivered a night packed with groundbreaking moments, electrifying performances, and historic wins, cementing its status as Music’s Biggest Night. Beyoncé shattered records, becoming the first Black woman to win Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter, while also taking home her first-ever Album of the Year award.

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar emerged as the evening’s biggest winner, with his fiery diss track “Not Like Us” sweeping all five categories it was nominated in—including Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video. In a fiercely competitive Record of the Year category, Lamar edged out industry heavyweights like The Beatles’ “Now And Then,” Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather,” and Taylor Swift’s Fortnight featuring Post Malone.

“We gonna dedicate this one to the city,” Lamar said as he accepted Record of the Year. “This is my neck of the woods, have held me down since a young pup. Since I was in the studio, scrapping to write the best raps and all that.”

The star-studded ceremony not only celebrated musical excellence but also raised funds for MusiCares Fire Relief, an initiative supporting those impacted by the devastating wildfires in Greater Los Angeles.

Performances throughout the night set Crypto.com Arena ablaze, with standout sets from Doechii and Chappell Roan transforming the atmosphere. The 2025 GRAMMYs also introduced several key changes, with the Recording Academy implementing updated eligibility criteria and category renaming to enhance inclusivity and maintain the awards’ integrity.

As the industry’s only peer-voted honor, determined by artists, songwriters, producers, and engineers, the GRAMMYs once again solidified their reputation for recognizing excellence. From historic firsts to unforgettable wins, the night underscored the evolving landscape of music—and the artists shaping its future.
