The red carpet in 2025 was defined by "Archive Fashion" and "Method Dressing."
The In Memoriam segment of the 67th Grammys was devastatingly long. 2024 saw the passing of icons across every genre. Stevie Wonder led a medley of the songs of Toby Keith, who died in late 2024, while Annie Lennox performed a chilling, a cappella version of “Nothing Compares 2 U” for Sinéad O’Connor.
The segment ended with a digital projection of Quincy Jones (who passed in November 2024) conducting a holographic orchestra of former Grammy winners. Critics were divided on the hologram usage, but the visual of Jones waving to a tearful Oprah Winfrey in the front row was the evening’s emotional epicenter.
Los Angeles, CA – February 9, 2025 – The music industry’s most sacred night returned to the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles for the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. If the previous year was a celebration of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary and the mainstreaming of women in rock, 2025 was the year the future officially clocked in.
Hosted for the fifth time by the indefatigable Trevor Noah (in his final outing as emcee, following the announcement of his departure from the late-night circuit), the 2025 telecast was a retrospective of a volatile year in music. From the juggernaut success of Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department to the rise of hyper-pop and the return of legacy rock bands, the 67th Grammys delivered record-breaking wins, shocking upsets, and one of the most emotional In Memoriam segments in recent memory.
Below is a complete breakdown of the night’s biggest winners, historic moments, and fashion statements. The 67th Annual Grammy Awards -2025-2025
Producers opted for raw, unplugged moments over elaborate staging this year.
Album of the Year went to SZA’s Lana (her sophomore major-label outing, following the SOS deluxe era). In a year dominated by country-pop crossover (Kacey Musgraves’ Deeper Well), rock revival (The Rolling Stones’ Hackney Diamonds), and dance (Beyoncé’s Renaissance: Act II), Lana won for its raw vulnerability and genre-fluid production. SZA used her acceptance speech to advocate for mental health in the industry, revealing she had nearly canceled her tour due to anxiety. “This is for the scared kids in the back of the classroom,” she said, clutching her gramophone.
The 2025 ceremony was heavily defined by the devastating wildfires that swept through Los Angeles in January. The Recording Academy reshaped the ceremony to focus on fire relief efforts.
The 2025 Grammys will be remembered as the year Beyoncé finally secured the top prize, cementing her legacy in a new genre (Country), and as a celebration of the West Coast hip-hop dominance of Kendrick Lamar. It was also a landmark year for "Brat" culture, with Charli XCX winning Best Dance Pop Recording. Beyond the awards, the night succeeded in turning a celebration of music into a significant fundraiser for a city in crisis.
The 67th Annual Grammy Awards, held on February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, served as a historic night for the music industry, marked by major milestones and a dedicated focus on community relief.
