2017 Grammy Winners: The Complete List
Photos by Kevin Winter/GettyThe 2017 Grammy Awards was full of the traditional drama and spectacle. Adele, Chance the Rapper and Beyonce all won big, and David Bowie won five posthumous Grammys for Blackstar. A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes and Anderson .Paak gave a politically charged performance of “We the People,” and CeeLo Green’s golden power outfit has already become a meme.
