The 64th Annual Grammy Awards was a show that we can’t forget!

On the music industry’s biggest night, when big acts such as Drake and the Weeknd’s protests threatened to dominate the Grammys, the show became a celebration of Black music!

Black artists’ influence and impact on the music industry cannot be overstated. Black artists were nominated and won this year for a variety of reasons, including jaw-dropping live performances, amazing choreography, vocals that had us replay our favorite songs over and over, and much more.

There were even several wins for Black artists in some of the biggest categories of the night. Acts like Jazmine Sullivan, Sonic Silk, and Jon Batiste reigned supreme and took home awards for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.

TV One celebrates the wins of Black music and the fantastic artists that were victorious!

Going up against supergroup BTS, Doja Cat didn’t “really expect to beat BTS and Coldplay, simultaneously,” Doja Cat stated while onstage accepting her award alongside SZA.

It was a moving moment for the artist, as she emotionally made her acceptance speech.
