Sunday night’s broadcast on CBS was seen by 15.4 million viewers
according to Nielsen. That represents a decline from 2024, which
was seen by 16.9 million, a 34% increase from the year before.
The numbers so far only account for viewers on CBS. The telecast
was also available to stream by those who purchased the
Paramount+ With Showtime package. Due to last month's
devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, the Grammys scaled back
marketing efforts ahead of the Grammys and canceled several
pre-Grammy events.
The three-hour-plus show — with Trevor Noah once again hosting —
took place in a Los Angeles still reeling from the wildfires and
celebrated the past year's most popular artists, with
performances by Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter
and Charli xcx.
The show raised nearly $9 million for wildfire relief efforts.
Kendrick Lamar won song and record of the year for his diss
track “Not Like Us,” taking home two of the night’s most
prestigious awards, and Shakira won Latin pop album for “Las
Mujeres Ya No Lloran.”
