It’s music’s biggest night, and the year’s brightest stars arrived Sunday (Feb. 12) in sunny L.A. to attend the 59th Annual Grammys. This year, singers, songwriters, producers, instrumentalists and those who do it all, all brought their A-Game to create great music that either spoke to the times, or helped listeners escape them.
While most of the awards were handed out before the ceremony even began, the night’s big winners in the big categories were saved for the actual broadcast. Take a look at who took home the prized Gramophone.
