Beyoncé wins big at Grammy 2025

As the most prestigious category in every Grammy season, Album of the Year at this year's awards ceremony witnessed fierce competition among the top names in the European and American music industry.

Beyond fans' expectations, Beyoncé's album Cowboy Carter won, surpassing albums by Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX... Thus, she is the first black woman to do this in the 21st century.

This is the singer's first Album of the Year win and the 35th trumpet of her career.

Previously, Beyoncé was the artist with the most nominations at this year's Grammy with 11 nominations, bringing the total to 99 nominations in her music career.

Not only did her album Cowboy Carter make her the most nominated artist in Grammy history, it also reignited the debate about genre and race in music.

Thus, Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish both "went empty-handed" at this year's Grammy. On social media, many fans expressed regret for the two female singers, arguing about Beyoncé's victory.

Similarly, Ariana Grande went empty-handed at this year's Grammys, failing to win awards in the categories of Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Duo/Group Performance, and Best Dance Recording (Pop).

However, songs like Eternal Sunshine and Still That Girl still helped her heal the hearts of her fans. Even though they cried, they still hung up the poster afterwards and always kept the "trumpet" in their hearts.

Kendrick Lamar won 2 major awards

Surpassing strong competitors such as Sabrina Carpenter, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, The Beatles... Kendrick Lamar's song Not like us won Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

In addition, the song also received three other awards: Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance and Best Music Video.

Not Like Us is said to be aimed at Drake, inspired by sexual assault allegations involving Drake and OVO Sound Records.

In the song, Kendrick Lamar does not hesitate to accuse Drake of pedophilia, while criticizing Drake's exploitation of Atlanta artists and culture for profit.

Recently, Drake also filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), his own record label, for releasing and promoting Kendrick Lamar's song Not Like Us .

Chappell Roan is Best New Artist

The Best New Artist category at the 2025 Grammys is the most fiercely contested as the past year has witnessed the explosion of many new talents in the European and American music scene.

Among them, the most attractive confrontation is between two famous names: Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan.

The award for Best New Artist went to Chappell Roan. On stage, she called on record labels to improve wages and health care for emerging artists.

"I told myself that if I won a Grammy and had the opportunity to stand before the most powerful people in the music industry, I would demand that the record labels and the industry that makes millions of dollars from artists provide a living wage and health care, especially for developing artists.

Record labels, we understand you, but can you help us understand?" - the female singer expressed.

She also emotionally shared that she was fired from her company because she could not afford health insurance.

Sabrina Carpenter won Best Pop Vocal Album for her album Short n' Sweet , released in August 2024, marking the singer's maturity. The album consists of 12 songs, including two outstanding hits, Espresso and Please please please.

Different from the Nu-Disco style of the two lead singles and the 1980s-inspired visuals, Short n' Sweet is a diverse blend of musical genres, with songs heavily influenced by country and dance pop.

Overall, both female artists had a breakthrough year in 2024, attracting strong attention from the public and professionals.
