Post Malone follows closely with eight nominations, including being featured twice in the Collaboration of the Year shortlist – once for his work with Morgan Wallen on I Had Some Help , and again for his guest appearance on Taylor Swift's single, Fortnight . Chappell Roan's meteoric rise in the music scene has earned her seven nominations, including Album of the Year and Favorite Female Pop Artist.

She took home FIVE awards, including the biggest ones of all – Best Artist, Best Album, and even Song of the Year for her hit track Guess, which is a collaboration with Billie Eilish. Solo success for Little Mix's Jade Jade Thirlwall is now on her solo journey away from Little Mix, but she's still winning awards. She picked up the Best Pop Artist award at the also had one of the busiest live performances of the night, with several outfit changes. Over the course of the night, she wore six different outfits.

The other big winners Chappell Roan also had an incredible night, winning the award for Best International Artist and International Song of the of the most exciting moments of the night was when Myles Smith won Best Rising Star. Just one year ago, he quit his job to follow his dream of making music and now he's got a shiny award to show for it. Stormzy was looking extra cool as he accepted the prize for Best Rap/Hip-Hop Artist, but if you're wondering why he was wearing sunglasses indoors, it's because he had accidentally hurt his eye playing padel."I'm wearing shades because I mashed up my eye playing padel [ball]," said Stormzy, as he accepted his award. "I've got a very sore eye - I'm not being a mad man with shades on inside." Finally, Ezra Collective made history by becoming the first jazz band to win Best Group. They took a moment to thank the youth clubs and schools that helped them growing up."This moment right here is because of the great youth clubs and the great teachers, and the great schools that support young people playing music," said frontman Femi prove his point, he invited the London youth group Kinetika Bloco onto the stage to play Ezra Collective's jazz anthem Shaking Body.

Stephen A Smith says he would divorce Serena Williams for Super Bowl halftime show cameo
Serena Williams made a surprise cameo during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime show, as she was spotted dancing during the performance of "Not Like Us." Making an appearance for that song sparked some debate on social media, especially considering Lamar's song is a diss track toward the rapper Drake, whom Williams dated in 2011. Many believed it was no coincidence Williams' time to shine was during this track, and ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith thinks the same. It's why, during his Monday edition of "First Take," he told his colleagues he would divorce her if he was her husband. "If I'm married and my wife is going to join trolling her ex, go back to his a--, 'cause clearly you don't belong with me," Smith said on the show, which led to some laughter from his colleagues. "What you worried about him for and you're with me? Bye. Bye." Williams is married to Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, and they share two daughters together. Smith's co-host Ryan Clark responded, "If you were with Serena Williams, you're going to be a kept man anyways. Don't start that." Lamar and Drake have quite the beef with each other, though only one of them saw Grammys won for their diss tracks. "Not Like Us" won Song of the Year, which also won Record of the Year, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video. It's also worth noting Lamar was joined by SZA during the performance as well, and she confirmed dating Drake after he rapped about it on the track, "Mr. Right Now," with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin. Whether it's trolling or not, Williams and Lamar do share a connection with their childhood, having grown up in Compton, California. Legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson was also seen during the performance as "Uncle Sam," as Lamar switched songs throughout.
