Grammy Awards 2018: Bruno Mars tops winners list of music’s biggest night

The Grammy Awards, one of the biggest music nights of the year, aired on Sunday night.

The ceremony’s 60th year featured major music artists like hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar, rapper Jay-Z, pop prince Bruno Mars and wunderkind Lorde vying for industry supremacy. Jay-Z led the nominations with eight, Kendrick Lamar had seven and Bruno Mars had six going into the ceremony (as a refresher, here are all the winners from 2017).

Lamar wowed the audience with his astounding opening performance, and Lady Gaga followed up with a resounding version of Million Reasons. Bruno Mars swept the top three awards, bringing home album of the year, record of the year and song of the year.
