New Delhi:
The 2025 Grammy Awards is currently underway at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, honouring 2024’s breakout music stars.
Beyonce is leading the nominations with 11 nods, courtesy her 2024 album Cowboy Carter.
Beyonce has already won the Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her collaboration II Most Wanted with Miley Cyrus.
She also scripted history with Best Country Album trophy, making her the first Black woman to win a country music category in half a century.
The 67th Grammy Awards had a special moment when Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars performed a tribute to Los Angeles as their performance was dedicated to those affected by the recent wildfires in Southern California.
The duo sang California Dreamin’ by The Mamas & The Papas at the Crypto.com Arena.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for Die With A Smile. In her acceptance speech, Lady Gaga spoke in support of LGBTQ community.
“Trans people are not invisible,” she said. “Trans people deserve love. The queer community deserves to be lifted up. Music is love,” the singer said on stage.
Indian-American vocalist and entrepreneur Chandrika Tandon has won the Grammy award for the album Triveni in the Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album category.
This was Tandon’s second Grammy nomination after 2009’s Soul Call and first win.
