Grammys 2025: Bradley Cooper’s Maestro Wins as Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift Snubbed
The 2025 Grammy Awards delivered a night full of historic wins, unexpected losses, and powerful performances. Beyoncé cemented her place as the most decorated artist in Grammy history, finally securing the elusive Album of the Year award for her country album “Cowboy Carter”. Long predicted yet often denied, this long-awaited victory thrilled her fans and silenced skeptics who had grown accustomed to seeing her miss out on the top prize.
Meanwhile, the ceremony showcased the next generation of pop superstars. Chappell Roan took home Best New Artist, while Sabrina Carpenter scored three awards, two of which were presented during the Premiere Ceremony. Both artists electrified the stage with high-energy performances, further establishing themselves as forces in the industry.
But not all past Grammy darlings had their moment in the spotlight. Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift, two of the most awarded artists in recent years, shockingly left empty-handed. Eilish, nominated seven times and a frontrunner for Song and Record of the Year, lost both categories to Kendrick Lamar’s viral hit Not Like Us. Swift, nominated six times after her record-breaking Album of the Year win in 2024, also failed to clinch a trophy this year. Still, both artists remained part of the night’s biggest moments—Swift notably presented Beyoncé’s country triumph, while Eilish performed and shared a humorous exchange with host Trevor Noah.
Other notable snubs included Post Malone, who lost all seven of his nominations, and Charli XCX, whose three wins were all relegated to the Premiere Ceremony rather than the primetime broadcast. However, Charli’s dynamic performance ensured she still left a lasting impression.
The night also saw an unexpected Grammy victory for Bradley Cooper, who won Best Compilation Soundtrack for Maestro. The win marked Cooper’s third Grammy, following his previous success with A Star Is Born, and provided a bright spot after Maestro’s underwhelming performance in the film awards circuit.
From history-making wins to shocking snubs, the 2025 Grammys proved once again that music’s biggest night never fails to surprise.
