The victory in this category went to Olivia Dean — a British singer for whom the Grammy was an important milestone in her career.
Among other award winners of the ceremony:
— Lady Gaga — Best Pop Vocal Album (Mayhem);
— Kendrick Lamar — Best Rap Album (GNX);
— Turnstile — Best Rock Album (Never Enough);

The Grammy ceremony once again highlighted the global nature of the music industry, recognizing artists from various genres, countries, and cultures, as well as the increasing influence of non-English-speaking scenes.
