Grammy Award é o mais prestigioso prêmio da indústria musical internacional, presenteado anualmente pela National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences dos Estados Unidos da América, honrando conquistas na arte de gravação musical e provendo suporte à comunidade da indústria musical.
A National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, ou somente NARAS, é a única associação a homenagear tanto o âmbito de conquista artística, como também a proficiência técnica e a excelência na indústria musical, sem se importar com as vendas de álbuns ou os resultados nas paradas de sucesso.
Este ano o Grammy foi marcado pela morte de Whitney Houston e Adele brilhou ganhando todas as categorias que foi indicada.
