After a three-month delay, the 64th Grammy Awards were finally held on Sunday night. Hosted by comedian Trevor Noah, Music’s Biggest Night took place live from the MGM Grand Garden Arean in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was the first time the ceremony was hosted in that city.

Before the live telecast, the majority of the awards were presented during the premiere ceremony, including many in the R&B field. A couple of firsts happened at the premiere ceremony, hosted by LeVar Burton. 

Jazmine Sullivan won her first Grammy award in the Best R&B Performance category for her platinum-selling single “Pick Up Your Feelings.” Sullivan tied with R&B super duo Silk Sonic, who also took home a trophy for their smash hit “Leave The Door Open.” The D’Mile-produced tune, lifted from An Evening With Silk Sonic, also won Best R&B Song.

Lucky Daye won Best Progressive R&B Album for his Table For Two EP, marking his first Grammy win. 

During the live telecast, Sullivan picked up another Grammy for Best R&B Album (Heaux Tales). Rated R&B ranked Heaux Tales as the No. 1 R&B Album of 2021.

Shortly after their opening performance, Silk Sonic was presented with Song of the Year for “Leave The Door Open.” 

Later, SZA and Doja Cat picked up their first-ever Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (“Kiss Me More”).
