Si è chiusa da poche ore l’edizione 2021 dei Grammy Awards, dominata – come accaduto poche settimane fa per i Golden Globe – dalle donne. Le statuette più importanti sono state portate a casa da Billie Eilish (Record Of The Year per Everything I Wanted) e Taylor Swift (Album Of The Year per Folklore), tuttavia a far storia è stata Beyoncé che, con un totale di 28 Grammy vinti da un’artista femminile, ha superato il primato finora appartenuto alla violinista statunitense Alison Krauss (27 premi). Poi Harry Styles ha vinto il premio per la Miglior performance pop solista con Watermelon Sugar, mentre agli Strokes è andato quello per il Miglior disco rock (The New Abnormal). Di seguito tutti i premi assegnati.
