The annual event – dubbed 'the Oscars of the music industry' – saw some of the biggest names go head-to-head in the fight for the coveted awards.

Unfortunately, not everyone could be a winner, but fans were shocked when Billie Eilish left completely empty handed.
Billie was up for seven awards across the evening, including the coveted album of the year for her record, Hit Me Hard and Soft.
Her track, Birds of A Feather, was a favorite to win Record of the Year or Song of the Year, with her performing the song on stage with her brother, Finneas, during the ceremony.
However, her hopes of getting acknowledged were dashed when, in the last Grammy honored of the evening, it went to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter instead.

Billie was seen looking visibly upset as the winner was announced, putting on a brave face and smiling with tears in her eyes.
Notably, it was Beyoncé's first win in the category, having lost herself four times before.
Taylor Swift, who was up for six awards for The Tortured Poets Department, also left with nothing.
Fans were enraged to see the stars go home with nothing, taking to X (formerly Twitter) to slam the decision.

One wrote: "Imagine spending 4 years making an album, learning composition skills to compose an orchestral beginning and ending to an album, getting top in the charts for 8 months straight, having a song that streamed 2 billion times, and winning tears of gloom. Billie got robed."
"BILLIE EILISH DESERVED SOMETHING AT THE GRAMMYS. She literally worked her A** off for this album," said a second.
"f**k the #scammys billie deserved AOTY," noted a third.

"billie you did NOT deserve to be snubbed #Scammys Justice for Hit Me Hard and Soft," said a fourth.
"Taylor and Billie not winning a single Grammy when they both had the best 2 albums of the year is such robbery and scam," said a fifth.
Others noted that Billie's song Birds Of A Feather, was one of the most streamed songs of 2024, so didn't understand how she missed Record of the Year and Song of the Year as well.
Both Record and Song of the Year went to Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us – a diss track against rapper, Drake, amid their ongoing feud.
