The 64th annual Grammy Awards were in Las Vegas, a first for music’s biggest night, and no single performer dominated the trophy count. Jon Batiste, who led with 11 nominees, won five awards, including album of the year for “We Are.” Silk Sonic, led by Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, took four, including record and song of the year. And pop singer Olivia Rodrigo, at just 19, won three awards, including best new artist and pop vocal album, along with rock band Foo Fighters and country singer Chris Stapleton.
But K-pop supergroup BTS was again denied its first Grammy, Ye was empty-handed and, with her loss for album of the year, Taylor Swift failed to make history with her fourth award in the category at Sunday’s ceremony, held at MGM Grand, hosted by Trevor Noah.
