But Beyoncé wasn’t the only star who made the night special. The show was packed with jaw-dropping performances. Chappell Roan turned heads with a high-energy, cowboy-meets-clown-themed performance of Pink Pony Club . Charli XCX brought the party with a medley of Von Dutch and Guess , joined by famous friends like Julia Fox and Gabbriette. Benson Boone did backflips—literally—while singing Beautiful Things , and Doechii electrified the stage with her powerful blend of Catfish and Denial is a River .
The Grammy winners were just as exciting as the performances. Kendrick Lamar had a massive night, taking home both Song of the Year and Record of the Year for Not Like Us , his fiery track that dominated the charts. Meanwhile, Chappell Roan claimed Best New Artist, cementing her as one to watch.
Another standout moment was when Los Angeles County firefighters took the stage to present the final award of the night. They received a standing ovation, a testament to the appreciation for their heroic efforts in battling the recent wildfires. Host Trevor Noah later announced that viewers at home had already raised $7 million for wildfire relief—an incredible display of generosity and solidarity.
The night also had its share of powerful speeches. Alicia Keys, honored with the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, spoke about the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in music. “DEI is not a threat. It’s a gift,” she stated passionately, emphasizing the need for more representation in the industry.
And in a moment of pure celebration, the crowd went wild for Kendrick Lamar’s victories. Even Taylor Swift—often seen dancing at these events—was on her feet, vibing to Not Like Us . Beyoncé herself looked genuinely happy as Lamar accepted his award, adding to the feel-good energy of the night.
The Grammys also paid tribute to legendary producer Quincy Jones, who passed away in late 2024. Stevie Wonder performed an emotional rendition of We Are the World , while Janelle Monáe brought the house down with Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough . Even Will Smith got choked up recalling how Jones influenced his career, calling him a mentor and a guiding force in the industry.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars also shared an impactful moment, winning Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for Die With a Smile . During her acceptance speech, Gaga took a stand for the LGBTQ+ community, declaring, “Trans people are not invisible. Trans people deserve love.” It was a powerful reminder of music’s role in advocacy and representation.
From Beyoncé’s historic win to show-stopping performances and heartfelt tributes, the 2025 Grammys proved to be a night for the books. Music, activism, and celebration came together, reminding us why this awards show is still one of the most exciting events of the year. And as Trevor Noah said to close out the night, “We finally saw it happen—Beyoncé has won Album of the Year.” What a moment!
