The 60th Grammy Awards are over, with a ceremony attended by some of the biggest artists in the world at Madison Square Garden in New York City – for the first time in 15 years.
Performances from Bruno Mars and Cardi B, Kesha, and Kendrick Lamar were just some of the evening’s highlights, along with an appearance by U2 on a floating stage on the Hudson River.
Jay Z – who incited the rage of Donald Trump following a CNN interview earlier this weekend – led this year’s nominations with a grand total of eight including album, song and record of the year but failed to pick up any of the major prizes.
British singer Ed Sheeran missed out on the big nods for latest record Divide, instead receiving recognition in the categories of best pop vocal album and best pop solo performance for “Shape of You.”
