Grammys winners 2018: The complete listImage Source: MJ Photos/REX/Shutterstock
Awards shows like the Grammys 2018 have become an interesting cultural phenomenon. The generation that started all these over-the-top awards ceremonies and grew obsessed with them has grown too old to care. Meanwhile, younger generations often don’t care enough to actually watch awards shows like the Grammys 2018. At the same time, however, there’s still enough hype surrounding the biggest awards shows that people really want to know which artists win all of the big categories. Well don’t worry, because we’ve got you covered in this post.
There were plenty of surprises at the Grammys 2018 awards show last night, but there were also plenty of artists that were expected to win big and delivered. Bruno Mars found himself among the biggest winners of the evening, taking home all seven Grammy awards for which he was nominated. That includes the top honors of the show: Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. Kendrick Lamar was awarded Best Rap Album of the Year and four other Grammys, while Alessia Cara won Best New Artist and Ed Sheeran won Best Pop Solo Performance. There were also two categories with ties.
And the best news of the night, of course, was that Despacito didn’t win song of the year. Phew.
