Sunday was a big night for Silk Sonic and Jon Batiste, who took home multiple awards at the 64th Grammy Awards, which were handed out in Las Vegas.
“Leave The Door Open” by Silk Sonic (aka Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak) was named Record of the Year, Song of the Year as well as Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance (the latter category was a tie with Jazmine Sullivan's "Pick Up Your Feelings”).
“We are really trying our hardest to remain humble,” said Anderson .Paak as the duo accepted Record of the Year. “But in the industry we call this a clean sweep.”

The night’s biggest award – Album of the Year – went to We Are by Jon Batiste. “The creative arts are subjective and they reach people at a point in their lives when they need it most,” he said.
Batiste, who went into the show with 11 nominations, won another four. “Cry” was named Best American Roots Performance and Best American Roots Song at the pre-show and “Freedom” won Best Music Video.
Batiste’s work on the animated film Soul earned him a Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack Album for Visual Media (in a tie with Carlos Rafael Rivera for The Queen’s Gambit). Soul also earned Grammys for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails.
Olivia Rodrigo made her Grammys debut with a pair of awards.
Rodrigo’s first statuette came during the pre-show, when “Drivers License” was named Best Pop Solo Performance. After performing the song during the prime time show, Rodrigo won Best New Artist.
“This is my biggest dream come true,” the singer said, before thanking collaborator Dan Nigro.
Later in the show, Rodrigo was back at the mic to accept the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album for her debut album Sour.
“Thanks to all the fans who have listened to my music and completely changed my life over the past two years,” she said.

Also winning her first Grammy was Doja Cat, whose collaboration with SZA, “Kiss Me More,” was named Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Doja Cat made it back from the washroom just in time to accept the award.
“I have never taken such a fast piss in my whole life,” she confessed. “Thank you everybody. I really appreciate it. It’s a big deal.”
Canada’s Justin Bieber, who went into the Grammys with eight nominations, came up empty.
The first Canadian winner on Sunday was Joni Mitchell, who received a standing ovation when she appeared on stage to accept the Grammy for Historical Album for her compilation Joni Mitchell Archives Vol. 1: The Early Years (1963-1967).
Alex Cuba won his first Grammy for Mendó, which was named Best Latin Pop Album. The musician, who immigrated from Cuba to Canada more than two decades ago, was previously nominated three times.
The Weeknd, who took himself out of Grammy consideration, won a Grammy via “Hurricane,” his collaboration with Kanye West and Lil Baby, which was named Best Melodic Rap Performance.
(Montreal conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin won a Grammy for Best Orchestral Performance.)
Of course, the Grammys are about the performances as much as they are about awards. The show featured performances by acts like BTS, Lil Nas X, Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, Nas, Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber and Brothers Osborne.
The Grammys paid tribute to Taylor Hawkins, who died March 25, before the In Memoriam segment. (Billie Eilish wore a shirt emblazoned with Hawkins’ image during her performance.) The Foo Fighters won three Grammys during the pre-show.
