(Fwrd Axis) — The 2022 Grammy Awards finally had their place to shine after months of delay on Sunday night in Las Vegas with Silk Sonic and Jon Batiste, the most-nominated artist of the night, turning out to be the biggest winners of the evening.
Silk Sonic was one of the big winners, taking home song and record of the year for “Leave the Door Open.” The R&B duo consists of Bruno Mars and Anderson. Paak earned a clean sweep, taking home four Grammys in the categories they were nominated in.
The group also took home Grammys for best R&B song and best R&B performance.
“Listen, we are really trying our hardest to remain humble at this point, okay, but in the industry, we call that a clean sweep,”.Paak said after the win of the record of the year award.
Batiste took home five Grammy trophies, including the upset win for Album of the Year for “We Are.” He also won four awards during the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony that aired before the main show.
“I believe this to my core, there is no best musician, the best artist, best dancer, best actor,” Batiste said. “The creative arts are subjective and they reach people at a point in their lives when they need it most. It’s like a song or an album is made and it almost has a radar to find the person when they need it the most.”
Olivia Rodrigo was nominated for seven Grammys but took home three, including the best new artist award.
