Some of the biggest names in music were honored at the 2025 Grammys on Sunday.

Beyoncé took home the Grammy Award for album of the year for "COWBOY CARTER" and Chappell Roan won the Grammy for best new artist. Kendrick Lamar snagged both record of the year and song of the year for his song "Not Like Us."

The Grammys took place nearly a month after the Los Angeles wildfires began, which devastated the region and resulted in at least 29 deaths. The telecast was "reimagined to raise funds to support wildfire relief efforts and aid music professionals impacted by the L.A. wildfires," with funds raised during the show going to support music professionals and Los Angeles wildfire relief efforts.

Near the end of the show, Trevor Noah, who returned this year as host for the fifth year in a row, announced viewers at home had already raised $7 million.

The night was filled with epic performances from artists like Charli xcx, Shakira, Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter and more. A moving musical tribute was also performed to honor the late music legend Quincy Jones.
