The Big Winners at The Grammy Awards 2022
Jon Batiste, Silk Sonic, Olivia Rodrigo and others won many Grammys at the Grammys 2022 in Las Vegas on 3rd April.
The pre-telecast ceremony, which was broadcast on the Grammys website and YouTube channel, was where the majority of the awards were given out. Kanye West for Best Melodic Rap Performance for ‘Hurricane’ and Best Rap Song for ‘Jail,’ Tyler, The Creator for Best Rap Album for ‘Call Me If You Get Lost,’ and Olivia Rodrigo for Best Pop Solo Performance for ‘Drivers License’ were among the early winners.
The main event began at 8 p.m. EST (1 a.m. BST), with the biggest trophies of the night being handed out, including Record of The Year, Song of The Year, Album of The Year and Best New Artist. Jon Batiste led the nominations with 11 nods, followed by Justin Bieber with eight. Doja Cat, Rodrigo and Billie Eilish were all nominated for seven awards.
Batiste took up the most trophies of the night, with five, including Album of The Year for ‘We Are.’ Silk Sonic, who won four accolades for their song “Leave The Door Open,” including Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year, came in second. Rodrigo received three awards, including Best New Artist, while Kanye West, Tony Bennett, and Lady Gaga each received two.
Following the passing of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins on 25th March, a homage was paid to him. The Foo Fighters were supposed to perform during the event, but they’ve now dropped out and cancelled their planned tour.
BTS gave an incredible performance of their smash single ‘Butter,’ dressing up as undercover agents for the occasion, while Eilish sang ‘Happier Than Ever’ from a rain-soaked rooftop while donning a Taylor Hawkins t-shirt. Rodrigo performed a cover of her breakthrough hit ‘Drivers License,’ Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow collaborated on ‘Industry Baby,’ Nas performed songs from his back catalogue, and Lady Gaga paid tribute to Bennett.
