2024 Grammy Awards

Virginia music teacher Annie Ray started an orchestra for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She just won a Grammy for music education, and a $10,000 grant for her school.

On Sunday, Jay-Z accepted an honorary Grammy by taking gentle aim at the awards' failure to support Black musicians. "We want y'all to get it right — at least get it close to right" he said.

Miley Cyrus, SZA, Billie Eilish and others had a big night. But once again, the music industry found itself in the long shadow of Taylor Swift, who won album of the year and announced a new project.

There are many steps along the way to a Grammy: inspiration, creation, hard work ... and a Tiny Desk? We congratulate the 2024 winners who have participated in NPR Music's concert series.

Check out some of the this year's most memorable red carpet looks from the 66th annual Grammy Awards.

The R&B star led all artists with nine nominations for the 66th Grammy Awards. She'll compete with Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo and Jon Batiste in album, song and record of the year.
