At the 64th Grammy Awards, which took place Sunday in Las Vegas, the major prizes were spread among a number of winners, including Jon Batiste, Silk Sonic and Olivia Rodrigo. It was a night of amazing performances, loving tributes and moving speeches — including from Batiste, Jazmine Sullivan and Chris Stapleton. Even Ukraine President Volodomyr Zelensky had a powerful message for the Grammy-nominated artists and the audience watching at home.
