The 67th Grammys (2025) - Take these broken Grammys and learn to fly On this episode of Every Grammys Ever we look at the 67th annual Grammy Awards in 2025

Catching up on things -- oh The Grammys -- great way to get the scoop is to listen to my favorite music historian (I think of him that way) @patrickhicks82.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/patrickh...

Jack White

Beyonce finally got it! This Grammys was actually good??

Second ever Record of the Year win for a hip hop song, great win for Kendrick

The Janelle Monae made up for it

I can’t believe I had to hear We Are the World at two different Grammys

The Weeknd coming back legit shocked me

Chappell killed it in her performance and her acceptance speech

Good to see Anthony Kiedis giving out the award for the music his girlfriend listens to

Yay for Doechii!

When do they give awards at this awards show?

Dave Chappelle’s Killin Them Softly was so good he’s still getting Grammys 25 years later

Music’s biggest night, better invite Paris Hilton

Doing ok in predictions so far - got Dan Nigro producer and Kendrick for best rap song and performance. Sierra Ferrell was my second choice for Americana album so I feel good about that. Alternative I should have known better. Rock album I will never recover

Jack White’s No Name, Fontaines DC’s Romance, Idles’ Tangk, Pearl Jam’s Dark Matter, Green Day’s Saviors and Black Crowes’ Happiness Bastards. I’d rank Hackney Diamonds 6th

I thought the Grammys were getting better but Rolling Stones winning best rock album is insane

The Grammys are tonight, here are ten things I think they can do to get better open.substack.com/pub/patrickh...
