For her first GRAMMY showing, it wasn't a bad night for Best New Artist winner Alessia Cara.

She was nominated for a total of four awards at the 60th GRAMMY Awards — Best New Artist Song Of The Year and Best Music Video for "1-800-273-8255," and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Stay" with Zedd. She took home her first career GRAMMY when she earned Best New Artist honors. The other nominees were Khalid, Lil Uzi Vert, Julia Michaels, and SZA.

The Canadian singer/songwriter broke through with her 2015 debut single, "Here." She followed with her debut album, 2015's Know-It-All. This spawned the empowering song "Scars To Your Beautiful," which not only reached a generation looking for positive messages, but it charted Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

From there Cara featured on several high profile songs, including "1-800-273-8255," "Stay" with Zedd and "Wild" with Troye Sivan. She even made an appearance during Taylor Swift's 1989 tour and lent her voice to Disney's Moana's "How Far I'll Go."

Not only does Cara reach out to her core audience of teenagers, but she is positively redefining what it means to be a successful star, which makes Best New Artist a fitting accomplishment.

"All I'm really good at is making music and singing and doing this. I'm not good at fashion, so I don't see a point in trying to be good at that," Cara told Cosmopolitan. It's important to show that there's different ways of doing things. … I'm just trying to show people that there's another side of it. It's not only a one-sided thing. You don't have to do that to be a star. You can do anything and be a star. You can dress like however you want, and you can do whatever you want. … So that's just what I'm proving to people."

Victoria Monét has won Best New Artist at the 66th GRAMMY Awards.

Tearfully accepting the award, the rising R&B star gave an eloquent speech in which she compared herself to a plant growing out of the soil of the music industry. 

“My roots have been growing underneath ground, unseen, for so long, and I feel like today I’m sprouting, finally above ground,” she said.

Monét beat out Gracie Abrams, Fred again.., Ice Spice, Jelly Roll, Coco Jones, Noah Kahan, and The War and Treaty for the award. It was given out by last year’s winner, Samara Joy.

She really puts in the work and she is being rewarded now more than ever for it," producer D'Mile, who has known Monét since the beginning of her career, recently told GRAMMY.com. "She grows more and more confident and sure about what she's aiming for as she continues her journey."

This was not Monét’s first win. Her album Jaguar II won Best Engineered Album and Best R&B Album earlier in the day during the GRAMMYs Premiere Ceremony.

Just last year, Samara Joy joined Esperanza Spalding and Norah Jones as the few jazz musicians to win Best New Artist in the 21st century. As pianist Geoffrey Keezer noted, Joy's win is a reminder that the genre "is still a part of [music], and it's important, and it's where it all came from."

In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, revisit the moment Joy accepted her golden gramophone at the 2023 GRAMMYs.

"I've been singing my whole life," she said. "Thank you so much for this honor. Thank you to everyone who listened to me or supported me."

"I've been watching y'all on TV for so long," Joy tearfully cooed to the audience. "To be here because of who I am — all of you have inspired me because of who you are. You express yourself, exactly who you are, authentically."

Before exiting the stage, Joy praised her record label, Verve, management, and other members of her team. Joy was a two-time winner that night, also taking home the golden gramophone for Best Jazz Vocal Album for her second studio album, 'Linger Awhile.' She earned her third nomination at the 2024 GRAMMYs, a Best Jazz Performance nod for her self-produced track "Tight."

After winning 24 Latin GRAMMYs prior to this year, Colombian rock star Juanes was tapped to take on the role of an elder statesman at the 2023 Latin GRAMMYs. 

On the stage in Sevilla, Juanes performed with the 10 nominees for Best New Artist: Borja, Conexión Divina, Ana Del Castillo, Natascha Falcão, Gale, Paola Guanche, Joaquina, León Leiden, Maréh, and Timø.

With vocal back up from the the brightest new voices in Latin music Juanes rendered a stirring performance of his emotional single "Gris" from his 2023 album Vida Cotidiana. In recent years, Juanes has explored a variety of sounds in his music, including traditional Colombian sounds such as cumbia. This year, he returned to his roots in rock with the intensely personal full-length album, which was inspired by the complexities of his marriage and family life during COVID-19 lockdown.

Juanes’ number was a satisfying full arena rock moment, complete with dazzling lights and artistic video projection of the song's lyrics. The power ballad has a somber and aching tone, and with the chorus behind him the feeling of the song rang out loud and clear.

The record came out in May to critical acclaim and has received nominations for both Album Of The Year and Best Pop/Rock Album, categories Juanes has won multiple times in the past. The "La Camisa Negra" singer is nominated in the Best Rock Song category for "Gris," as well.

Vida Cotidiana is also nominated for Best Latin Rock or Alternative album at the 2024 GRAMMYs, alongside worlds from Cabra, Diamante Eléctrico, Natalia Lafourcade, and Fito Paez.
