We're happier than ever, because it's the biggest night in music.
The 2022 Grammy Awards has wrapped after airing live on CBS from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 3. Several familiar faces scored nominations in this year's categories—including Taylor Swift, Drake and Lil Nas X—but it was also a memorable night for some first-time nominees, including Olivia Rodrigo, who won three awards.
"Freedom" artist Jon Batiste headed into the Grammy Awards ceremony with the most nominations (11!), while Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. followed him with eight nods each. Thanks to her smash debut "drivers license," Rodrigo joined newly-crowned Oscar winner Billie Eilish in the roster with seven nominations each.
The red carpet kicked off with plenty of daring looks, but that was only the start of the action-packed evening. Rodrigo, Eilish, Lil Nas X and Batiste all performed their hit songs during the show, which also featured tributes to late composer Stephen Sondheim and Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, who passed away on March 25 at the age of 50.
