KAYTRANADA wins big at 2021 Grammy Awards [Updated Live]

There is perhaps no better reflection of the character of a given year in music than the Grammy Awards. Poised to chart its 63rd annual ceremony this evening at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, “the biggest night in music” will bear witness to performances from some of the largest acts in the industry, while recognizing some of the most highly celebrated releases of the year.

KAYTRANADA swept the “Best Dance Recording” and “Best Dance/Electronic Album” fields, host of the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony Jhené Aiko announced during the live Grammy prelude, broadcast at 3:00 p.m. EST / 12:00 p.m. PST. The producer’s Kali Uchis feature “10%” outpaced Diplo and SIDEPIECE‘s “On My Mind,” Disclosure‘s “My High,” Flume and Toro y Moi‘s “The Difference,” and Jayda G‘s “Both Of Us” for “Best Dance Recording” honors. On the “Best Dance/Electronic Album” end, KAYTRANADA’s BUBBA was declared the victor over fellow nominees KiCk I (Arca), PLANET’S MAD (Baauer), ENERGY (Disclosure), and Good Faith (Madeon).

Notably, Imanbek, a Dancing Astronaut 2021 Artist to Watch took home the Grammy for his remix of Saint JHN’s “Roses.” Imanbek squared off against RAC (“Do You Ever [RAC Mix]”), Morgan Page (“Imaginary Friends [Morgan Page Remix]”), Louie Vega (“Praying for You [Louie Vega Main Remix]”), and Haywire (“Young & Alive [Bazzi vs. Haywire Remix]”).

The 2021 title for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” belongs to Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande‘s Tchami-produced “Rain On Me,” which cinched the award over J Balvin, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny, and Tainy’s “Un Dia (One Day),” Justin Bieber’s “Intentions,” BTS’ “Dynamite,” and Taylor Swift’s Bon Iver feature, “Exile.”

The 2021 awards ceremony, hosted by Trevor Noah, will air live at 8:00 p.m. EST / 5:00 p.m. PST on March 14 on CBS. Dancing Astronaut will update the list of Grammy nominees to denote the winner for each category as the results are announced.
