2019 Grammys Winners: Lady Gaga, Cardi B & Ariana Grande Won Big
See the full list of winners at the 61st Grammy Awards here.
At the 61st Grammy Awards tonight, some of the biggest names in the music industry are being honored for the memorable work that they released last year. Held at the Staples Center in LA, the ceremony is hosted by Alicia Keys this year and features performances by Cardi B, Dua Lipa, St. Vincent, Camila Cabello, Miley Cyrus, Janelle Monae, Shawn Mendes and many more.
While Ariana Grande dropped out of her performance due to alleged disagreements with show producers, the “thank u, next” songstress won in the Best Pop Vocal Album category with Sweetener. Lady Gaga‘s moving track “Joanne (Where Do You Think You’re Goin’?)” got her the Best Pop Solo Performance award, while her and her A Star Is Born co-star Bradley Cooper were crowned Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with “Shallow.”
A rising star we’re rooting for, Ella Mai beats the likes of Childish Gambino and Miguel for Best R&B Song with her addictive tune “Boo’d Up.” The “This Is America” artist, however, triumphs in multiple other categories including Song of The Year, Best Rap/Sung Performance, Best Music Video as well as Record Of The Year.
For Best New Artist, Dua Lipa came on top, beating a number of her contemporaries like Jorja Smith, Chloe x Halle and H.E.R.
With her debut album Invasion of Privacy, Cardi B made history by becoming the first woman to win Best Rap Album as a solo artist. Other artists nominated for the award include Travis Scott, Pusha T, Nipsey Hussle and the late rapper Mac Miller.
