UK star Charli XCX has won three Grammys at the ceremony in LA following the global success of her album Brat.
Other big winners at the ceremony included Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan, who was named Best New Artist.
The ceremony at the Crypto.com Arena in LA featured tributes to the city and emergency services following the impact of the wildfires. The Grammys raised $7 million for MusiCares Fire Relief.
Comedian Trevor Noah, who hosted the 67th Grammy Awards, told the audience that just weeks earlier “we weren't sure that this show would even happen".
"Thankfully, due to the heroic efforts of firefighters, the fires have now been contained, and despite all the devastation, the spirit of the city has emerged," he said to audience applause.
Firefighters were invited to the Grammys to honour their efforts to tackle the wildfires.
Folk-rock band Dawes — whose members suffered losses in the fires – were joined by John Legend, Brad Paisley, Sheryl Crow, Brittany Howard and St Vincent for a performance of the city’s unofficial anthem, I Love LA, by Randy Newman.
Billie Eilish, who’s from LA, performed Birds Of A Feather against a backdrop of California’s landscape.
Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars covered California Dreamin’, which was dedicated to firefighters. The pair won the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for Die With A Smile.
Kendrick Lamar, who was the big winner with five Grammys, also paid tribute to LA.
“We gonna dedicate this one to the city,” the rap star said in his first acceptance speech for record of the year (Not Like Us). “This is my neck of the woods that held me down since a young pup. Since I was in the studio, scrapping to write the best raps and all that.”
Not Like Us also won for Song Of The Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song and Best Music Video.
Beyoncé won Album Of The Year for country record Cowboy Carter, a result seen as long overdue. She had previously missed out on the album prize on four separate occasions.
"I just feel very full and very honoured," she said. "It's been many, many years."
Cowboy Carter was also named Country Album Of The Year, while II Most Wanted (feat. Miley Cyrus) won for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
Beyoncé, who was first nominated 25 years ago as a member of Destiny's Child, took home three Grammys having received 11 nominations for this ceremony. With a total of 35 wins and 99 nominations, she is the most awarded and nominated artist in Grammys history.
Charli XCX picked up three trophies – Best Electronic/Dance Album for Brat, Best Dance Pop Recording (Von Dutch) and Best Recording Package (Brat).
She performed Von Dutch and Guess at the ceremony alongside influencers and collaborators including Gabriella Wright, Harrison Patrick Smith, Richie Shazam, Gabbriette, Julia Fox, Greer Cohen, Salem Mitchell, Quen Blackwell and Alex Consani.
Charli XCX, who’s signed to Atlantic, peaked at No.1 in the UK with Brat, which has consumption of 317,949 units (Official Charts Company). She leads in terms of BRIT nominations with five nods for next month's ceremony. Upcoming performances include a headline slot at Lido Festival in London (June 14).
Other performers at the Grammys included Teddy Swims, Raye, Chappell Roan, Benson Boone and Shakira. The show also featured a tribute to Quincy Jones, who died last year.
There was some surprise that Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift lost out at this ceremony. Overall, though, it was a strong year for female artists. Sabrina Carpenter picked up two awards – Best Pop Solo Performance for Espresso and Best Pop Vocal Album for Short N' Sweet. There was also a Grammy for the Mark Ronson and FNZ remix of Espresso. Carpenter is confirmed to headline at BST Hyde Park in London on July 5.
St Vincent also picked up multiple Grammys, with three wins including Best Alternative Music Album for All Born Screaming.
Former Music Week cover star Kacey Musgraves won Best Country Song with her co-writers Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne for The Architect. Meanwhile, SZA won Best R&B Song for Saturn and Tems triumphed in Best African Music Performance for Love Me JeJe.
The first prize of the main ceremony was Best Rap Album, which went to Doechii’s mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal. That was only the third time a woman had won in the category since it was introduced in 1989, following victories for Lauryn Hill and Cardi B. Doechii will be performing at All Points East in London on August 23.
Best Jazz Vocal Album went to A Joyful Holiday for Samara Joy, who also won for Best Jazz Performance (Twinkle Twinkle Little Me feat. Sullivan Fortner).
Daniel Nigro was named Producer Of The Year following his work with Chappell Roan and Olivia Rodrigo, while Sabrina Carpenter collaborator Amy Allen won the Grammy for Songwriter Of The Year.
As well as Charli XCX, there were wins for British artists including The Beatles for Best Rock Performance (Now And Then) – an award that Ringo Starr had told Music Week he was hoping would be theirs in recognition of the band’s final song.
Jacob Collier won a Grammy for Djesse Vol. 4, making him the first British artist ever to win for tracks from each of his first five studio albums.
The Rolling Stones’ Hackney Diamonds won for Best Rock Album.
