Grammys 2023 Winner List: Beyoncé, Kendrick, Wet Leg, Steve Lacy & more

The 2023 Grammy Awards happened all Sunday (2/5), with the majority of the awards given out during the Premiere Ceremony during the afternoon, ahead of the gala main awards ceremony which aired on CBS.

Beyoncé made history tonight as she has now won more Grammys than anyone else in history. She won Best R&B Song, Best Dance/Electronic Recording, Best Dance/Electronic Album, and Best Traditional R&B Performance. (She has been nominated 88 times, tying her husband Jay-Z for most nominations in Grammy history.) L.A. traffic, though, meant she didn’t make it to the ceremony till over an hour into the proceedings. Host Trevor Noah gave her the three she’d won when she and Jay-Z finally made it to their seats, and thankfully was there for her record-breaking win with Best Dance/Electronic Album. She has still yet to win Album of the Year, an award she’s been nominated for four times.

Harry Styles won Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.

Lizzo won Record of the Year for “About Damn Time” which she had performed earlier in the ceremony. She dedicated the win to Prince and then thanked Beyoncé for inspiring her. “In the 5th grade I skipped school to see you perform,” she said, with Beyoncé just a few feet away. “You changed my life… you clearly are the artist of our lives.”

Kendrick Lamar, who is also up for Album, Record, and Song of the Year, won Best Rap Album for Mr Morale and The Big Steppers, plus Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. “As artists, we’re all entertainers, and we say things to provoke thoughts and feelings and emotions, so making this record, this was one of my toughest records to make,” Kendrick said in his acceptance speech. “Going back and thinking about where I started with rap and how far it’s came, I would like to thank the culture for allowing me to evolve and be able to make a song like ‘Mother I Sober.’ All we ever wanted was to be able to be the biggest underground artist of all time, and I finally found imperfection with this album.”

Future featuring Drake & Tems won Best Melodic Rap Performance.

Dr. Dre was awarded the first ever Global Impact Award which will also now bear his name. In his acceptance speech he noted that this is the 50th anniversary of hip hop: “Where would I be without it? Where would a lot of people in here be without hip hop?” This led into a Questlove-curated all-star tribute to hip hop featuring LL Cool J, Big Boi, Busta Rhymes, Spliff Star, De La Soul, DJ Drama, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Missy Elliott, Future, Glorilla, Grandmaster Flash, Grandmaster Mele Mel, Scorpio, Ice-T, Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, the Lox, Method Man, Nelly, Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Rahiem, Rakim, Run-D.M.C., Salt-N-Pepa, DJ Spinderella, Scarface, Swizz Beatz, and Too $hort.

Sam Smith & Kim Petras won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance Grammy for “Unholy,” making Kim Petras the first openly transgender artist to win this award. She thanked the late transgender artist SOPHIE and LGBTQ advocate Madonna for helping to open the doors for her: “I just want to thank all the incredible transgender legends before me, who kicked these doors open for me so I could be here tonight, SOPHIE especially, my friend who passed away two years ago who told me this would happen and always believed in me. Thank you so much for your inspiration SOPHIE, I adore you and your inspiration will always be in my music.” They performed “Unholy” later in the night.

Wet Leg picked up Best Alternative Album and Best Alternative Performance, but lost Best New Artist to Samara Joy.

Brandi Carlile won for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance for “Broken Horses,” beating out Turnstile and Ozzy Osbourne in both categories, as well as Red Hot Chili Peppers and The War On Drugs in the former and IDLES, Beck, The Black Keys, and Bryan Adams in the latter. Brandi also won Best Americana Album and is also up for Album of the Year, and Record of the Year. She performed “Broken Horses” with her band early in in the main ceremony.

Willie Nelson won Best Country Album for A Beautiful Time and Best Country Solo Performance for his cover of Billy Joe Shaver’s “Live Forever,” but lost Best Country Song to Cody Johnson and Best Roots Gospel Album to Tennessee State University.

Adele won Best Pop Solo Performance for “Easy on Me.”

Ozzy Osbourne won Best Metal Performance and Best Rock Album, beating out Turnstile, Ghost, Megadeth, and Muse in the former as well as Machine Gun Kelly, Spoon, IDLES, Elvis Costello, and The Black Keys in the latter. Turnstile were officially shut out of all three categories that they were up for.

Bonnie Raitt won Song of the Year for “Just Like That,” along with Best Americana Performance and Best Americana Song, while Madison Cunningham won Best Folk Album.

This year’s In Memoriam tribute had Kacey Musgraves covering Loretta Lynn; Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt and Mick Fleetwood covering “Songbird” in tribute to Christine McVie; and Quavo paid tribute to his nephew and Migos bandmate, Takeoff, with “Without You.”

Taylor Swift, who was up for four Grammys including Song of the year, won Best Music Video.

Jack Antonoff won Producer of the Year, Non-Classical.

Dave Chappelle won Best Comedy Album.

Viola Davis joined the EGOT club when she won Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording.

Bad Bunny, who Won for Best Música Urbana Album and was also up for Album of the Year, opened the main ceremony with a performance of “El Apagón” and “Después de la Playa” that had fellow nominees dancing in the aisles.

The camera was on Jay-Z in the crowd multiple times during the show, and he closed out the night as part of a performance of DJ Khaled‘s “God Did,” alongside Lil Wayne, John Legend, Rick Ross, and Fridayy.
