The 2020 Grammy Awards has come and gone but the winners will not be forgotten in a hurry.

The 62nd Grammy Awards show lasted for almost four hours long and it kicked off with a solemn a cappella tribute to late NBA legend Kobe Bryant by Boys II Men.

Late Prince also got honoured by Usher, Sheila E. and FKA Twigs in song and dance

Grammy host Alicia Keys also summed up the year with a song while Lil Nas X and BTS rotated the venue with their renditions of “Old Town Road”.

Demi Lovato performed her song, “Anyone” written four days before her 2018 overdose for the first time and it was quite emotional while a Nipsey Hussle tribute was done by John Legend, DJ Khaled, Meek Mill, YG and others.

For the awards, Billie Eilish went home as the biggest winners of the night as she swept this year’s top four categories (Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best New Artist), making her only the second artist in history to do so.
