The 62nd edition of the Grammys was held at Los Angeles on Sunday, January 26 (Monday for India). The ceremony began with a heart-wrenching tribute to NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash just hours before celebs began arriving on the Grammy red carpet.
Lizzo, who had the highest number of nods with eight nominations, was an early winner with the Best Pop Solo Performance Grammy for Truth Hurts. Billie Eilish, who had the second-highest number of nominations with six nods, won four Grammys, including the Best Pop Vocal Album Grammy for When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go. Meanwhile, the Recording Academy, which gives out the music industry's top award, has been accused of voting irregularities by former president and CEO Deborah Dugan who, in turn, has been accused of bullying by the Academy.
