The 64th Grammy Awards was held in Las Vegas for the first time at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and was hosted by Trevor Noah. Because of Covid-19, the prizes were postponed. The majority of the awards were given out at the premiere event, which took place prior to the broadcast.
"The Late Show With Stephen Colbert's" bandleader, Jon Batiste, received five accolades. Olivia Rodrigo, a 19-year-old pop star, took home three awards, including best new artist and best pop vocal album.
During the in memoriam part, the concert commemorated Taylor Hawkins, the drummer for the Foo Fighters who died in late March, as well as songs by Stephen Sondheim performed by Cynthia Erivo, Leslie Odom Jr., Ben Platt, and Rachel Zegler.
The Grammy-award constitutes a 6-pound gramophone statuette made up of special zinc alloy metal called 'Gramium' hand-crafted by a man named John Billings aka "The GRAMMY Man."
