ICE Out, Couture, and Hits: The Grammys’ Grand Finale on CBS
The 68th Annual Grammy Awards kicked off with a mix of glamour, chaos, and razor-sharp humor that only Trevor Noah could deliver. As the night unfolded at L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena, Noah quipped about the coveted Song of the Year award: “That is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense … because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton.” Moments earlier, Cher, ever the icon, had misread the winner for Record of the Year, mistakenly announcing the late Luther Vandross before correcting herself to reveal Kendrick Lamar and SZA as the true recipients.
The evening was equal parts spectacle and surprise. Heidi Klum made a jaw-dropping entrance in a plastic dress so form-fitting, it hindered her ability to sit or walk, while Justin Bieber delivered a high-energy performance that had the crowd on its feet. On the awards side, Olivia Dean won Best New Artist, Billie Eilish and Finneas took Song of the Year, Kendrick Lamar with SZA earned Record of the Year, and Bad Bunny claimed Album of the Year. The majority of the 95 awards were handed out during the non-televised Premiere Ceremony, hosted by Darren Criss.
After more than half a century, this was CBS’s final Grammy broadcast before the show moves to Disney outlets in 2027, making the night a historic mix of laughter, fashion, and unforgettable music moments.
