Month: February 2025

The 67th Annual Grammy Awards returned to L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, February 2, with Trevor Noah hosting the ceremony for the fifth year in a row.

Kendrick Lamar earned five Grammys, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for his Drake diss track “Not Like Us.” Beyoncé won Best Country Album and took home the coveted Album of the Year award for Cowboy Carter, an award she has never won previously, despite being the most Grammy-nominated artist in history.

Sabrina Carpenter won three Grammys — including Best Pop Vocal Album for Short n’ Sweet; Charli XCX won three awards for her album Brat; and Chappell Roan won the Grammy for Best New Artist.

This year’s ceremony also centered on raising money for the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires. The Academy, along with its MusiCares organization, launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to raise money for people in the music industry who were affected by the fires, raising and pledging more than $4 million so far.

Beyoncé has announced she will embark on a tour in support of her “Cowboy Carter” album, taking place later this year. Beyoncé‘s last tour was the 2023 “Renaissance World Tour” for her album “Renaissance.”

The tour announcement came in two Instagram posts made over the weekend, with tour dates and locations yet to be announced. “COWBOY CARTER TOUR 2025,” she wrote on her social accounts and official website, along with a new photo. The first post was a video clip of an LED sign that bore the concert’s name, with the second post sharing an image of herself with bleached-blonde hair.

Earlier this year, the singer postponed an announcement planned for Jan. 14 due to the Los Angeles-area wildfires. Beyoncé released a statement Jan. 13 postponing the planned announcement: “The Jan. 14 announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of Los Angeles. I continue to pray for healing and rebuilding for the families suffering from trauma and loss. We are so blessed to have brave first responders who continue to work tirelessly to protect the Los Angeles community. To join our efforts in supporting those impacted, please visit @BeyGOOD. Love, B.”
