GRAMMY Awards 2018: Winners List

Will Lavin

And the winner is…

Last night’s GRAMMYs had it all: jaw-dropping performances, political statements, red carpet comedy, solidarity for the Time’s Up movement, and of course awards, lot’s of them.

Pretty much running away with the night, Kendrick Lamar and Bruno Mars dominated the 60th Grammy Awards, held at Madison Square Garden in New York. Ed Sheeran took home a couple representing for the UK, while Chris Stapleton – who features on the new Justin Timberlake record – came away with the most wins in the country music categories.

The night’s best performances came from Childish Gambino, Bruno Mars and Cardi B, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar and U2, and Logic, while Dave Chappelle’s cameo in the middle of Kendrick’s performance raised a few eyebrows on social media when he said:

“I just wanted to remind the audience that the only thing more frightening than watching a black man be honest in America is being an honest black man in America.”
