Olivia Rodrigo, Chris Stapleton win big at Grammys 2022

While accepting the award, Rodrigo said, "This is my biggest dream come true". Following her was Chris Stapleton whose 'Starting Over' won the Grammy for best country album. To note, this was Stapleton's third Grammy for the day. Doubling the celebration, Chris Stapleton won the accolades coinciding with the birthday of his 4-year-old twins. The musician while giving his thanking speech expressed that he's happy and sad at the same time as the career that brought him such accolades has also forced him to stay away from home on so many special days.

Foo Fighters won three awards, however, due to the unfortunate death of its drummer Taylor Hawkins, the group didn't attend the function. The rock band did extend their record artist for most rock album wins with five for 'Medicine at Midnight'. The band's track 'Making a Fire' won best rock performance and 'Waiting on a War' defeated other nominees for a best rock song.
