Beyoncé
led the nominations with 9 chances, followed by Kendrick Lamar (8), Adele (7), Brandi Carlile (7), Mary J. Blige (6), DJ Khaled (6), Future (6), Terius “The Dream ” Gesteelde-Diamant (6), Randy Merrill (6) and Harry Styles (6).
By winning her first statuette in just half an hour of television, plus the two she won in the run-up, Beyoncé was already tying for the most-nominated artist in awards history.
With one more win, he could break the late British-Hungarian conductor Georg Solti's record for the most awards by winning four Golden Gramophones.
Solti, who has 31 Grammys, has held the record since 1997, and Beyoncé also already has 31.

Then he did
After the Beach
and asked “I want to know if the Grammys are ready for the real party” and he followed all mambo, with the entire audience standing and dancing, including Taylor Swift.
She said goodbye exclaiming "Long live Latin music!".
Trevor Noah returned, announcing that he was going to be walking around the tables all night, “like a Chinese balloon”.
He greeted guests like Beyoncé, Harry Styles, Lizzo, LL Cool J, Adele and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

The premiere of 80 items not televised
Five hours before the big party at the Crypto Arena, the previous ceremony started, with
more than 80 items
that were delivered without live television, only on YouTube.
There was a lot of expectation for the result of the category where Fito Páez competed, best alternative/Latin rock album.
Hours later, the long-awaited moment arrived, and the great favorite, Rosalía, won for her successful album
De ella Motomami
.
This premiere took place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and featured several conductors, such as comedian Randy Rainbow, actor Myles Frost, poet Amanda Gorman, producer Jimmy Jam, the legendary Judy Collins and Babyface, who first gave the directive to only go on stage if you are the winner, and that no person from your team go on your behalf.
Like the main event of the night, there was a
red carpet
and there was the arrival of Fito, very early.
There were also live shows, such as the jazz singer Samara Joy, Anoushka Shankar and the Colombian
Carlos Vives
, who made hits like
La gota fría
and
Pa' Mayte.
from his legendary album
Clásicos de la provincia
, from 1993. He went down in the audience and played a harmonica solo there.
The list of non-TV winners included several big names, such as the first Grammys of 2023 for multi-nominees
Beyoncé
and
Kendrick Lamar
(both winning two statuettes) as well as Ozzy Osbourne, Bonnie Raitt, albino Edgar Winter and Argentine Leo Genovese, for an album with the great Wayne Shorter.
As a fact of color, in the incidental music that followed the award that
Rubén Blades
won , sounded
No voy en tren
by Charly García.
Edgar Winter thanks his award for Best Contemporary Blues Album and jokes that it was for "diversity of skin".
