Olivia Rodrigo, Lady Gaga, and many more of your favorite musicians won big at the 2022 Grammy Awards on April 3.

After getting postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the 2022 Grammy Awards commenced on April 3 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Just like last year, Trevor Noah hosted the 64th annual ceremony, and some of music’s biggest stars like Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X, H.E.R. and more performed.
