2022 Grammy Awards Winners: Full List
As host Trevor Noah jokingly said early in the night, “We’re keeping people’s identities out of our mouths,” the 64th Annual Grammy Awards finally took place on Sunday night, two months after they were originally scheduled to air.
“We Are,” Jon Batiste’s album that had been nominated for 11 Grammy Awards, won five awards, including album of the year. Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak’s group Silk Sonic won four Grammy Awards, including a record of the year, Olivia Rodrigo and Foo Fighters each won three Grammy Awards.
Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena was originally supposed to host the Grammy Awards on January 31st, but the event was postponed. This year’s Latin Grammy Awards were originally scheduled for the MGM Arena but were relocated to the postponed date of spring 2022 due to an omicron surge.
