Amid all the music, there were a handful of lighthearted speeches. “We are really trying our hardest to remain humble at this point,” Anderson .Paak quipped. “The silence of ruined cities and killed people. The remembrance kicked off the night’s In Memoriam segment: Dear Evan Hansen star Ben Platt, Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo, Hamilton’s Leslie Odom Jr and West Side Story’s Rachel Zegler sang a medley of songs by the late musical theater titan Stephen Sondheim, who died last November at 91. A week after one of the most chaotic Oscars in recent memory – during which Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on stage – the Grammys seemed to revel in its technical proficiency and lack of controversy. They sing to the wounded in hospitals, even to those who can’t hear them. In his second year as executive producer of the Grammys, taking over after Ken Ehrlich’s 40-year tenure, Ben Winston mostly allowed individual artists to shine.

Bruno Mars made history as half of Silk Sonic with Anderson .Paak. He tied Paul Simon as the only artist to win record of the year three times.

While sometimes-awkward performance partnerships have become a Grammy Award signature, Sunday's show featured mostly sparkling performances by artists on their own.

Foo Fighters, Chris Stapleton and CeCe Winans also won three each.
