Grammys 2022: Full list of music award winners

The 64th annual Grammy Awards are here to round off a truly eventful awards season.

After a stripped-down, partially-outdoor ceremony last  year, the Grammys are back in full force, live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The awards show was going to be held in Los Angeles, as it typically is, but the organizer switched locations in January because of rising COVID-19 cases in the California city.

This year’s nominees were announced in November with multi-genre artist Jon Batiste — who has already won four Grammys in categories that were announced earlier today — leading the pack of star-studded artists with 11 nominations. It could also be a big night for Justin Bieber, who has eight nominations alongside Doja Cat and H.E.R.

But this year, the music world was wooed by a newcomer on the scene: Olivia Rodrigo. She scooped up seven nominations, including Best New Artist, thanks to her breakout album Sour.

The Foo Fighters have already won two of the three categories they were nominated in, taking home the Grammy for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance. The critically acclaimed band was originally booked to perform tonight but will not be in attendance as they grieve the loss of drummer Taylor Hawkins.

Before the Grammys even began it was marred by controversy.

Kanye West was dropped from the performance lineup because of his “concerning online behaviour” of late, including a very public spat with Grammys host Trevor Noah.

Whatever’s in store for this year’s Grammys, it promises to be an exciting evening, with performances lined up from Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X, Batiste, Silk Sonic, and H.E.R.
