Everyone knows of the Grammys, the well-known award show has been around for 65 years.  In order to be eligible for a Grammy, the recording or music video has to be released in the U.S between Oct. 1 of the previous year and midnight Sept. 30 of the given Grammy year. Voting isn’t done by fans, but it’s done by the Recording Academy voting members.

The 65th annual show was on Sunday Feb. 5, and with the best artists from all music categories. The four general awards given are for record, album, song of the year and best new artist.

The Grammys began with Bad Bunny performing, then the host, Trevor Noah had a few laughs with some of the famed musicians. The first award that was handed out was best Pop Vocal Album. The nominees were Harry Styles, ABBA, Lizzo, Adele, and Coldplay. The Grammy went to Harry Styles with his album “Harry’s House.”

When it was time to announce the nominees for one of the biggest awards of the night, Album of the Year, everyone thought Beyoncé was going to win. Harry Styles ended up getting the Grammy for Album of the Year. Many Beyoncé fans were upset with the decision, people even went as far as booing Styles when he accepted the Grammy. However, Beyoncé already made history whether or not she won the Album of the Year Grammy.

The “Queen Bey,” as she is known, has a total of 32 Grammys, the all-time record in the history of the Grammys. She won a total of four Grammys on Sunday. Beyoncé won Best Dance/Electronic music album, Best R&B song, Best Traditional R&B performance, and Best Dance/Electronic Recording.

If you were looking for a Taylor Swift nomination for Album of the Year, sadly her latest album, “Midnights,” did not make the cut. The deadline for all Grammy nominations is due Oct. 1, and “Midnights”  just missed the cut, being released Oct. 21. She did however, win a Grammy for Best Music Video for “All Too Well: The Short Film.”
