However, the 64^th Grammy Awards commenced last Sunday night. The show typically takes places in Los Angeles, but this year it was at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Trevor Noah made a return as host for the event.

Jon Batiste was nominated for 11 awards, more than any other artist at this year’s event-winning four awards including Album of the Year. Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. each had eight nominations with H.E.R. taking home the Best Traditional R&B Performance award.
