2021 Grammy winners list: 63rd Annual Grammy results in all 84 categories

The 63rd Annual Grammy Award winners were announced on March 14 in 84 categories ranging from the top prize of Album of the Year to outstanding achievements in genres including pop, rock, rap, Latin, classical, comedy and more. Scroll down to see who won every single prize, updated throughout the day and night as winners were announced.

The majority of awards were presented during the Premiere Ceremony that started at Noon Pacific/3:00pm Eastern. That pre-show was hosted by Jhene Aiko, a three-time nominee this year, and featured performers including Burna Boy, Terri Lyne Carrington and Social Science, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, Igor Levit, Lido Pimienta, Poppy and Rufus Wainwright.

The main event started at 5:00pm Pacific/8:00pm Eastern with host Trevor Noah, who in addition to being the star of “The Daily Show” was a Grammy nominee in 2020 for his comedy album “Son of Patricia.” It featured performances by nominated acts like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, BTS, Megan Thee Stallion and many more. Not Beyonce, though, despite being the most nominated artist of the year with nine bids. She’s followed by Swift, Dua Lipa and Roddy Ricch with six apiece.
