It’s not just about Grammy music. Some of your favorite stars — from Kendrick Lamar to “Weird Al” Yankovic to Taylor Swift — took home the award for best music video.
The video killed the radio star and the winner got the loot. Since 1984, the Recording Academy has celebrated the music video format with the Grammy Award for Best Music Video.
