\n\tThe major headlines of the 67th annual Grammy Awards will naturally involve the major award wins: Beyonc\u00e9 at long last winning the album of the year trophy, Kendrick Lamar\u2019s \u201cNot Like Us\u201d triumphing in both record and song of the year to give the superstar rapper his first Big Four category wins, Chappell Roan capping off a meteoric rise with a best new artist trophy. When we look back at these Grammys, those victories will loom large \u2014 but they\u2019re not the whole story.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn fact, the 2025 Grammys included arguably the most consistent performance slate in recent memory, a collection of new artists, fast-rising superstars, industry veterans and timeless legends that all brought their A-games and kept the telecast humming along at a surprisingly brisk pace. The Grammys approached a four-hour run-time, but with artists like Benson Boone backflipping around the stage, Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder catching up in public, Sabrina Carpenter tossing out smash hits, and Charli XCX turning Crypto.com Arena into Los Angeles\u2019 coolest club, the show never dragged, and often upended expectations.<\/p>\n
\n\tPlugged-in pop fans got to see their favorite artists dominate the stage, while casual listeners were exposed to voices that have the power to truly excite. And while past years carried performance lineups that were too homogenous, the 2025 slate covered a wide scope of popular music, including a few surprise performers.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhile every showcase at the 2025 Grammys was worthwhile, here is our ranking of the best of the best \u2014 all 16 performances, ranked.<\/p>\n
