Here Are All the 2021 Grammy Winners (2024)

The 2021 Grammy Awards was a night that fans will continue to discuss for quite some time.

Music's biggest stars gathered for the ceremony on Sunday, March 14 to honor the recording industry's top achievements from the past year. Host Trevor Noah led the star-studded event that saw Taylor Swift and Beyoncé take home four trophies apiece, with other big winners including Megan Thee Stallion and Billie Eilish.
