The winners and losers at this year’s Grammys were a bit of a surprise. Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak was a “clean sweep” as the duo won all of their nominated categories; record of the year, song of the year, best R&B song, and best R&B performance.
Lil Nas X was shut out, not winning in any of the categories he was nominated for. Instead, John Batiste was the cool kid, winning five of the 11 Grammys he was nominated for including, Album of the Year for “We Are.”
Others that were expected to win but didn’t include, BTS, Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, Tony Bennett, and Lady Gaga. Olivia Rodrigo did well for her Grammy debut, winning three awards including Best New Artist.
Louis C.K. seems to have survived his #MeToo moment, winning for best comedy recording. Brothers Osborne were the only country act to pick up a trophy-winning for country group/duo performance.
Who were you surprised won and didn’t win?
