Kacey Musgraves dhe Childish Gambino kanë udhëhequr listën e fituesve në 61 vjetorin e Çmimeve Grammy. Ata qëndruan ‘në fron’ me nga katër fitore secili.
Childish Gambino mori çmimin “Best Music Video” me këngën e tij të famshme “This Is America”. Kënga gjithashtu mori çmimet “Best Rap/Song Performance”, “Record of the Year” dhe “Song of the Year”. Por këngëtari nuk u shfaq në mbrëmje për të marrë çmimet.
Ylli i muzikës Country, Musgraves mori gjithashtu katër çmime përfshirë “Best Country Solo Performance” për këngën “Butterflies”, “Best Country Song” për “Space Cowboy”, “Best Country Album” për “Golden Hour” dhe “Album of the Year” për “Golden Hour”.
Pasi u nderua me çmimin për albumin e vitit, Musgraves vlerësoi artistët e tjerë të nominuar në këtë kategori.
“Fitimi i këtij çmimi nuk e bën albumin tim më të mirë sesa të të nominuarve të tjerë”, tha ajo.
Ata u ndoqën nga Lady Gaga, duke përfshirë çmimin për “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” për këngën “Shallow” me regjisorin dhe aktorin e filmit “A Star Is Born”, Bradley Cooper.
