62nd Grammys honor artists on music's biggest night

Alicia Keys is host for the second year in a row on an evening that boasts several high profile performances, including first time winners Billie Eilish and Lizzo.

LOS ANGELES — Music's biggest names were honored Sunday night during the 62nd annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. 

Alicia Keys hosted for the second year in a row on an evening that boasted several high profile performances, including first time nominees and winners Billie Eilish and Lizzo. 

Nipsey Hussle, who was honored during the live telecast on CBS at 8 p.m. Eastern, has posthumously won his first-ever Grammy. 

Beyoncé also won her 24th during the pre-telecast ceremony and Michelle Obama won the award for best spoken word album. 

Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus picked up best music video for “Old Town Road," earning both performers their first-ever Grammy Award. And Lady Gaga picked up multiple honors for music from “A Star Is Born."

Another mix of newcomers and well-known acts reached their goals of winning their first-ever Grammy Awards including Tanya Tucker and J. Cole. 

Sara Bareilles, Rosalia and 21 Savage also became official Grammy winners when the show handed out trophies during its pre-telecast ceremony. 

Keys said the Grammys are steeped in “crazy sadness” coming just after the loss of Kobe Bryant.

“Earlier today, Los Angeles, America and the whole wide world lost a hero,” Keys said in her opening monologue.

She was then joined by members of Boyz II Men for an acapella rendition of their song “It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye to Yesterday.”

The awards were held in the arena where the Lakers legend and former NBA superstar played nearly all of his 20-year career. And the ceremony came on the day when the 41-year-old Bryant died in a helicopter crash.

“We’re standing here in the house that Kobe Bryant built,” Keys said.

Lizzo had opened the show by saying “Tonight is for Kobe" at the beginning of her performance of “Cuz I Love You.”
