Kendrick Lamar steals the show at the 2025 Grammys

The music industry's biggest night has gone ahead in Los Angeles, handing out awards to some of the world's biggest artists.

Kendrick Lamar was the star of the show, winning two of the top gongs - Record of the Year and Song of the Year - for Not Like Us. The song also scooped Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song and Best Music Video.

Album of the Year went to Beyonce's Cowboy Carter, and Chappell Roan was named Best New Artist.

The star-studded audience was treated to performances by a who's who of the music biz including standout turns by Grammy nominee Shaboozey, who performed his hit A Bar Song (Tipsy); Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars who sang a pared-down cover of The Mamas & the Papas' 1965 hit California Dreamin'; Sabrina Carpenter, who showcased a perky medley featuring Espresso and Please Please Please; and The Weeknd, who has been boycotting the ceremony since 2021.
