Скандалов еще до самой церемонии подведения итогов было немало. Множество артистов демонстративно пикировало ее, в том числе Ариана Гранде, протестующая против диктата продюсера Grammy Кена Эрлика (и тем не менее получившая свою Grammy за лучший альбом, но не появившаяся на самой церемонии). Получивший эксклюзив на трансляцию Grammy телеканал CBS решился показывать церемонию намного позднее ее окончания, и не во всех городах США. Сайт премии сбоил всю церемонию, порой там пропадали все новости за все время существования премии.

Объявлявшие победителей сами до конца не верили в то, что кто-то из победителей появится в зале. Например, получившая премию группа Justice не дождалась вручения ей статуэток граммофона, и сама выбежала на сцену, к немалому удивлению ведущих. Не пришли Стинг, Фарелл Уильямс, Кронос Квартет и другие звезды, ставшие победителями.

Тем не менее, церемония отметилась несколькими первоклассными музыкальными номерами звезд (лучшим из которых стал сет легенды Долли Партон с горячими артистами Майли Сайрус, Кэти Перри и др.), онлайн-трансляция не прерывалась, а награждены были отличные музыканты. Неклассическим продюсером года был назван Фарелл Уильямс, лучшим рэп-шоу названо шоу Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Future и James Blake, лучшим рок-альбомом назван From The Fires от Greta Van Fleet, лучшим рок-шоу — концерт When Bad Does Good от Chris Cornell, лучшим регги-альбомом — фьючеринг 44/876 от Sting и Shaggy.

Долли Партон, Кэти Перри и Кейси Масгрейвс

Лучшим поп-вокальным альбомом года назван Sweetener от Ariana Grande. За поп-концерт наградили шоу Joanne (Where Do You Think You're Goin'?) от Lady Gaga, она вместе с Брэдли Купером получила приз за текст к Shallow из фильма «Звезда родилась».

Lady Gaga

Сразу три статуэтки заработала кантри-певица Kacey Musgraves. За лучший музыкальный фильм награжден великий Quincy Jones. Лучшим блюзовым альбомом признан The Blues Is Alive And Well от Buddy Guy. Сразу три статуэтки заработала Brandi Carlile за жанр американа. Приз за иммерсивный аудио-альбом заработала великая группа The Alan Parsons Project за Eye In The Sky - 35th Anniversary Edition. Наконец, Бэк получил две статуэтки — за лучший инжиниринг альбома Colors и за лучший альбом альтернативной музыки.

Beck

Для российских музыкантов эта премия не оказалась успешной. В категории классической записи «Риголетто» с дирижером Константином Орбеляном и Дмитрием Хворостовским уступило хайповой «Революции Стива Джобса» оперы Санта-Фе, а в категории лучшей ворлд-музыки альбом Yiddish Glory’s под названием The Lost Songs Of World War II (здесь играют Псой Короленко, «Лойко» и др, уступил альбому Soweto Gospel Choir под названием Freedom.
