Here is the full roundup of who won, who lost, and the moments that defined the night.
India’s "No-Win" Night 🇮🇳💔
Despite a strong lineup of nominees, Indian artists failed to clinch a trophy this year.
The Nominees: Sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar (nominated for Chapter III: We Return to Light), the fusion band Shakti, and composer Charu Suri were all major contenders in the Global Music categories.
The Result: The "Best Global Music Performance" award surprisingly went to Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny for his track "EoO", leaving Indian fans disappointed.
The Silver Lining: In a unique moment, the Dalai Lama (who has lived in India for decades) won the Best Audio Book Grammy for Meditations: The Reflections of His Holiness, marking his first-ever win.
The Big 4 Winners: History Made 🏆
Album of the Year: Bad Bunny – Debí Tirar Más Fotos
History: This marks the first time a fully Spanish-language album has won the night's biggest honor.
Record of the Year: Kendrick Lamar & SZA – "Luther"
Note: Kendrick also became the most-awarded rapper in history tonight, overtaking Jay-Z.
Song of the Year: Billie Eilish – "Wildflower"
Best New Artist: Olivia Dean
Other Major Highlights 🎤
Lady Gaga's Return: The pop icon had a massive night, winning Best Pop Vocal Album for Mayhem and delivering a high-voltage performance.
Rosé x Bruno Mars: The duo performed their viral hit "APT." live for the first time, setting the stage on fire.
Tribute to Ozzy: Post Malone and rock legends paid a thunderous tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne with a performance of War Pigs.
SantaBanta Verdict: It wasn't India's year, but seeing Anoushka Shankar and Shakti constantly representing us on the global stage is a win in itself. As for Bad Bunny winning Album of the Year—music truly has no language!
