Kendrick Lamar is pulling the curtain back on how he secured a sample of Luther Vandross' voice for his latest album.

Bad Bunny won album of the year, Kendrick Lamar became the most awarded rapper in Grammy history, and artists used the Grammys stage to speak on immigration, faith, and legacy.

Lady Gaga earned seven nominations this year, topping her previous record of six in 2011. The Mother Monster landed nominations in three of four major categories: Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Gaga was tied with producers Jack Antonoff and Cirkut, who each nabbed seven nominations.

Kendrick Lamar – who swept 2025 with wins in all five of his categories – leads with nine nominations, followed by Lady Gaga and producers Cirkut and Jack Antonoff with seven; and songwriter-turned-artist Leon Thomas, producer/engineer Serban Ghenea, pop princess Sabrina Carpenter and Super Bowl headliner Bad Bunny with six.
