First Grammy Award Winners Announced

Three singers won early Grammy Awards today, Sunday, at a ceremony that was reorganized in a new way, amid the music industry’s hopes of stemming a year-long pandemic.

Kanye West won in contemporary Christian music for his evangelistic album “Jesus is King,” and Beyonce won the best music video award for “Brown Skin Girl”, which she shared with her 9-year-old daughter, Blue Evie, according to Reuters.

The awards were announced ahead of the main broadcast of the concert on CBS, which is expected to be a mixed concert of live and pre-recorded performances without the usual audience of thousands of musicians and music industry executives.

Billie Eilish, the teen who dominated the Grammy Awards last year, won her lead single in the upcoming James Bond movie “No Time to Die,” and has two other nominations for her song, “Everything I Wanted.”

Today, Sunday evening, the 63rd edition of the prestigious Grammy Awards will kick off, and the top singers, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Dua Lipa, lead the list of nominees to win the highest awards.

The president of the Academy for Provisional Recording, Harvey Mason Jr., hopes tonight’s concert “will be an opportunity to have a little bit of normality, where people get together and play music,” he says.
