Kendrick Lamar and Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars and Kendrick Lamar stole the show, and most of the awards, at the 2018 Grammys.

Mars provided the night's big upset, taking the album of the year trophy that most critics assumed would go to Lamar's rap tour de force, Damn.

Kendrick Lamar dominated the rap categories.

 

Alessia Cara won best new artist ‑ making her the only female artist to win a major prize.

Stars like Lady Gaga, Kesha, Lorde and SZA were overlooked, with only 17 awards out of a total of 86 going to women or female‑fronted bands.

  • Album of the year, Best R&B album and Record of the Year went to Bruno Mars for 24K Magic.
  • Song of the year also went to Bruno Mars for That's What I Like.
  • Best new artist went to Alessia Cara while Best pop album went to Ed Sheeran for his album Divide.
