Grammy Winners 2025: Kendrick Lamar Leads With Five Wins for ‘Not Like Us,’ Beyoncé and Charli XCX Take Home Three Each

Who would’ve thought rap beef could’ve been such a catalyst for community?

From diss track to record and song of the year, Kendrick Lamar went home the biggest winner at the 2025 Grammy Awards with “Not Like Us” – which took aim at Drake – earning a total of five wins: song of the year, record of the year, best rap song, best rap performance, and best music video. In the record of the year category, Lamar beat out the Beatles for “Now And Then,” Beyoncé for “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Charli XCX for “360,” Billie Eilish for “Birds of a Feather,” Sabrina Carpenter for “Espresso,” Taylor Swift featuring Post Malone for “Fortnight,” and Chappell Roan for “Good Luck, Babe!”

We gonna dedicate this one to the city,” Lamar said in his first acceptance speech for record of the year. “This is my neck of the woods, have held me down since a young pup. Since I was in the studio, scrapping to write the best raps and all that.”

Live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, the 67th Grammy Awards had women coming out on top in some of the night’s biggest and most competitive categories. Charli xcx claimed three awards for best electronic/dance album for “Brat,” best dance pop recording (“Von Dutch”) and best recording package (“Brat”).

But no one was quite as surprised by their wins as Beyoncé, who was nominated for 11 Grammys and took home three. She appeared especially shocked when her “Cowboy Carter” set took home the title of best country album of the year. “Cowboy Carter” was also crowned album of the year, making her the first Black female artist to win in the category since 1999 when Lauryn Hill took home the award for critically adored, chart-topping “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.” Beyoncé also took home the award for best country duo/group performance award for “II Most Wanted.”

Elsewhere, Doechii became the third female rapper (behind Cardi B and Hill) to win in the best rap album category for “Alligator Bites Never Heal.”

Additionally, Sierra Ferrell was a standout winner at the beginning of the night, picking up four awards during Grammys Premiere Ceremony early Sunday afternoon.
