Welcome to The Australian's live coverage of the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Beyoncé has finally won Album of the Year at The Grammys.

Cowboy Carter, her country-indebted eighth album, racked up 11 nominations officially making the 43-year-old the most nominated artist in Grammy history with 99.

In a competitive field that included Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Jacob Collier, and André 3000, Beyoncé's win marks a historic achievement: she is the first Black woman to win the award in 26 years, following Lauryn Hill in 1999.

She also became the first Black artist to win Best Country Album. "I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors," she said during her acceptance speech

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar was busy cementing his throne. His scathing diss track ‘Not Like Us’ which took aim at the rapper Drake, didn’t just stir up controversy and shoot straight to Number 1 —it bagged both Record of the Year and Song of the Year. “At the end of the day, nothing more powerful than rap music,” Lamar declared, without ever uttering Drake’s name. The final rub.

Chappell Roan, the Missouri-born singer who broke out last year with her camp and catchy debut record The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, won Best New Artist.

The 26-year-old star has been on a long, winding road to the Grammys — dropped by a major label, grinding it out independently, then signing again before the release of Midwest Princess.

In her speech, Roan took aim at the music industry: Labels, we got you. But do you got us?” she demanded, urging the system to provide fair wages and healthcare for artists.

Charli XCX, who painted the world chartreuse with her inescapable sixth album Brat, won three Grammys, including Best Dance Pop Recording for ‘Von Dutch’.

Perth’s Tame Impala, aka Kevin Parker, won his first-ever Grammy for ‘Neverender’ — his collaboration with the French electronic duo Justice, which took out Best Dance/Electronic Recording.

Meanwhile, Australian production duo FNZ scored Best Remixed Recording for their work with Mark Ronson on Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Espresso.’
