About The 2022 Grammys
The 64th Grammy Awards was held on Sunday, April 3rd, 2022. It took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
While I am not usually one to watch the Grammys, I liked seeing some of the artists I love receive some awards. Silk Sonic took home a lot of awards, which is awesome. Their album has been one of my favorites over the past year. The talented Jon Batiste had a killer night as well. The Roots’ Questlove took away Best Music Film for “Summer of Soul”.
Here is a list of all of the award winners from the 2022 Grammy Awards. Enjoy!
