67th Grammy Awards Recap
Global Soundwaves | 67th Grammys Awards Recap
Music’s biggest night took place in Los Angeles last night, closely following the destruction the wildfires left on the city just a few weeks ago. Instead of turning a blind eye to the devastation, the Grammys leaned into the issue, urging the audience to contribute to the repairs and lifting up the community with music and dancing.

We’ve recapped the top awards below!
Album of the Year
"Cowboy Carter" – Beyoncé
With 11 nominations, Beyonce returned to the 2025 Grammys this year to claim the Album of the Year title after being shut down the last four times she was nominated. “Cowboy Carter” also won Best Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance. America’s sweetheart of country-turned-pop, Taylor Swift, delivered the Best Country Album award to Bey. This year officially made Bey the most nominated artist in Grammy history – 99 nominations!
Record of the Year and Song of the Year
"Not Like Us" – Kendrick Lamar
A Global Soundwaves favorite, Kendrick Lamar, was nominated for seven awards and won five. "Not Like Us" won both categories for the Record of the Year and the Song of the Year.
Best New Artist

Between Doechii and Chappell Roan’s performances, the 2025 Grammy stage was burning up. Chappell claimed the Best New Artist Award, solidifying her place as one of music’s boldest and infectious rising stars.
Producer of the Year, Non-Classical

Best Rap Album
"Alligator Bites Never Heal" — Doechii
Doechii has been a rising star this year in the female rap scene, and the Global Soundwaves team was cheering her on from behind our TV screens when she was presented with the Best Rap Album, and tearing up a bit at her speech.
“I put my heart and my soul into this mixtape,” she said. “I bared my life. I went through so much. I dedicated myself to sobriety and God told me that I would be rewarded.”
Best Pop Vocal Album
"Short n' Sweet" — Sabrina Carpenter
From her Sabrina-branded perfume line to her own drink on the Dunkin’ Donuts menu, Sabrina Carpenter rightfully claimed the award for Best Pop Vocal Album, closely missing her nomination for Best New Artist.
