How the Grammy Awards voting process works
Here's how the voting process works for the Grammy Awards, which involves Recording Academy members made up of producers, musicians, songwriters and engineers.
LOS ANGELES - The 2024 Grammys gave Miley Cyrus her first award and Taylor Swift a chance to announce a new album in her acceptance speech.

Jay-Z was awarded the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award and used his speech to talk about the hip-hop greats that came before him – and heavily suggesting at the Grammys history of placing rap on the backburner – or at the very least, not in the televised version of the show. (This year, there were no rap categories on screen, but two pop, one Latin, one country and one R&B.)
"We want you all to get it right," he said. "At least get it close to right," before switching focus to Beyoncé. "Most Grammys, never won album fo the year. How does that work?"

Rapper Killer Mike was detained and escorted from the event in handcuffs after an altercation. He won three Grammys earlier in the evening: best rap song ("Scientists and Engineers" featuring André 3000), best rap album ("Michael") and best rap performance ("Scientists and Engineers" featuring André 3000).
80-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Joni Mitchell gave a candlelit performance of her classic "Both Sides Now," alongside Brandi Carlile and a chamber orchestra.
