List of 2016 Grammy award winners.


The 58th annual ceremony which was held last night enlisted an impressive slate of performers, with Taylor Swift opening the show, Lady Gaga paying tribute to David Bowie, and the Weeknd making his Grammy debut, in addition to Justin Bieber performing his EDM hit "Where Are Ü Now" with Skrillex and Diplo.


Then there was Adele, taking the stage even though she wasn't even nominated this year. (Rihanna, also slated to appear, had to cancel because of bronchitis.) Even the Grammy-nominated cast of Hamilton, Broadway's most coveted ticket, made an appearance from their theater in New York City. But Kendrick Lamar blew them all away with a fiery medley that no other performance came close to touching throughout the night.


Lamar led the pack with 11 nominations; Swift and the Weeknd followed, with seven nominations each. All three artists were nominated for Album of the Year, along with Alabama Shakes and Chris Stapleton, with Swift eventually taking the prize.
