Grammy Awards 2020: The complete list of this year’s winners
Now that the 62nd annual Grammy Awards ceremony has come to an end, let’s look at which artists took home awards this year.
Tonight marked the 62nd annual Grammy Awards, and it was difficult to keep track of all the talent that appeared onstage this year, whether they were merely performing or accepting a trophy for their work over the past year. With Alicia Keys hosting and singers like Lizzo, Ariana Grande, Lil Nas X, and Demi Lovato dominating the performances, the ceremony was packed with powerful and exciting moments.
Of course, following the unexpected and tragic death of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, this year’s Grammys ceremony also had a more mournful tone than usual. Nearly every artist that got onstage paid tribute to the former basketball star in some way, and quite a few speeches and performances were adjusted in order to say farewell to Bryant.
This year was also the year of Billie Eilish, as the 19-year-old star took home four of the biggest awards — an impressive feat given this was her Grammy debut. But Eilish wasn’t the only one to secure a win at this year’s show.
Here’s the complete list of winners for this year’s Grammy Awards.
