A complete rundown of the artists, albums, songs and videos that took home trophies at the 66th annual awards.

Feb. 4, 2024

As the 2024 Grammys wrapped on Sunday night, Phoebe Bridgers had the most wins, with four trophies (three with her band, boygenius). SZA, boygenius, Killer Mike, Victoria Monét and songs from the “Barbie” soundtrack followed, with three wins apiece. Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift had two, but Swift also broke a record, becoming the first artist to earn four album of the year prizes.

In highlights from the ceremony, Tracy Chapman took the stage to perform her hit “Fast Car” with Luke Combs, Swift announced a new album due in April and Joni Mitchell played on the Grammys for the first time.

Can you please explain how voting for the Grammys works?

Ben Sisario, Pop Music Reporter, said:

The Grammys are voted on by more than 11,000 music professionals —performers, songwriters, producers and others with credits on recordings —who are members of the Recording Academy. The process involves members first scanning through huge lists of submissions to vote for nominees, then, after the final ballot is set, for the winners. In the past, anonymous committees had the power to overrule members’ selections of nominees; after some controversy those were largely disbanded, though the academy still has the power to reassign submissions if necessary.

What is the difference between record, song and album of the year?

Caryn Ganz, Pop Music Editor, said:

The top three Grammy prizes can be a bit confusing. Album of the year is for a complete body of work (a full LP of music); song of the year is a songwriter’s prize, awarded to the person (or people) who wrote the music and lyrics to a single song; record of the year is for the performance and recording of a song, and goes to the artist and producers who made it.

Why did some winners bring their handbags onstage to accept their Grammys?

Vanessa Friedman, Chief Fashion Critic, said:

Given the lack of pockets in Grammy outfits, it may be that a bag is the best place to secrete an acceptance speech, and since there isn’t a lot of time between when a winner’s name is called and when the music plays them off, perhaps — at least in the case of Miley Cyrus — it was simply a question of efficiency. A handbag is also often part of a total look, and since some of the artists are being dressed by brands, perhaps it is part of the deal.

The academy aired the best rap album award during the daytime ceremony. Isn’t this weird considering the commercial prominence of rap?

Caryn Ganz, Pop Music Editor, said:

The Grammys have a complicated relationship with rap. Several nominees boycotted the first Grammy ceremony with a rap category in 1989 because the award wasn’t televised. Typically, the show gives out all but around nine of its 90-something trophies at a preshow. Last year, the show presented an extravaganza to celebrate hip-hop’s 50th anniversary. The lack of rap onstage this year was certainly noticed:Drake, who has stepped away from the Awards, posted a pointed Instagram story, and Jay-Z took the Grammys to task when he accepted a global impact award.

Did the Grammys get a new producer/director? I can’t remember them ever hosting it in a stadium — it feels like a real concert!

Jon Pareles, Chief Pop Music Critic, said:

Crypto.com Arena opened in 1999 as the Staples Center, and it was designed with award shows, among other things, very much in mind. Since 2000, nearly all the Grammy ceremonies have taken place there. Hamish Hamilton, who directed this year, has worked on previous Grammys as well as other award shows and Super Bowl halftime shows. There was a major change in 2017, when the longtime Grammy producer Ken Ehrlich was replaced by Ben Winston, who is now one of the executive producers.

What did Joni Mitchell get a Grammy for?

Ben Sisario, Pop Music Reporter, said:

Joni Mitchell won her 10th Grammy on Sunday: best folk album for “Joni Mitchell at Newport,” a live album recorded in 2022. Mitchell’s Grammy history goes back to 1970, when she won best folk performance for “Clouds.” She also made her first-ever Grammy performance this year, singing her classic “Both Sides Now.” It was an especially emotional moment because nine years ago Mitchell had an aneurysm that initially left her unable to speak; she has gradually recovered and returned to performing.
