Iconic Moments From the 2025 GRAMMYs

The Grammy Awards is known as music’s biggest night, and the 67th Annual ceremony surely did not disappoint! From an iconic sweep that felt like it belonged to the culture, to flawless performances, mic-drop speeches, and history-making wins that were long-overdue… many folks are saying this was the best GRAMMYs they’ve seen in years. In the wake of the tragically destructive wildfires in Los Angeles last month, the focus throughout the night remained on brave and selfless first-responders across the city. The Recording Academy and MusiCares recently created the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to support and fundraise for those in the music industry impacted by the fires. That initiative was woven into the ceremony, with firefighters even being honored on stage.
