Among them were Kendrick Lamar and SZA with "All The Stars", Drake with "God's Plan", Shawn Mendes with "In My Blood" and Lady Gaga with Bradley Cooper ("Shallow").

Childish Gambino was also honored for the clip - with the award for Best Music Video of the Year. In addition, "This Is America" ​​was chosen as the best recording. However, the award winner - comedian, serial author and rapper Donald Glover - was absent from the Grammy show.

The Grammy for best album of the year was given to country star Kacey Musgraves for "Golden Hour".

Grammy's best new artist was 23-year-old British singer Dua Lipa ("New Rules"). In addition to the categories Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Album of the Year, the award for Best New Artist is one of the four main categories of the most important music award in the world.

Three Grammys went to Lady Gaga : For her song "Shallow" from the music film "A Star Is Born" she was awarded as a composer, as well as for her singing duet with Bradley Cooper. In addition, she won the prize for the best solo performance in the pop section with the song "Joanne (Where Do You Think You're Goin '?)"
