The Latest on the 64th annual Grammy Awards, being presented Sunday in Las Vegas (all times local):
8:25 p.m.
Jon Batiste’s “We Are” has won the Grammy Award for album of the year.
Batiste was the year’s most-nominated artist and had already won four Grammys on Sunday, but the win was still an upset of sorts over albums from better-known competitors. including Doja Cat, Olivia Rodrigo, Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, and Taylor Swift.
“I love you even if I don’t know you! Good night!” a gleeful and stunned Batiste said to end his acceptance speech.
All of Batiste’s other wins came before the Grammys telecast began, and it appeared he might not win any on TV despite a leading 11 nominations.
