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.
