THEN AND NOW: Music stars when they won their first Grammy

Richie won the Grammy for best pop vocal performance in the male category for his song "Truly." In a notable moment from the ceremony, comedian Eddie Murphy crashed the stage and stole Richie's award. However, the award was later returned to him.

However, the four-time Grammy winner recently announced that he would be postponing his European tour due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.

Before the group's split in 2005, Destiny's Child earned a total of nine nominations at the Grammy Awards.

At the 2021 Grammy Awards, Beyoncé won in four of the nine categories she was nominated in, which also made her the most-nominated artist at the 63rd annual ceremony. The ceremony brought her total number of wins to a whopping 28.

"I am so honored, I'm so excited," she said onstage.

Most recently, she performed at the 94th Academy Awards.

"This is a Grammy," Swift said in shock when accepting her first Grammy for best female country vocal performance for her song "White Horse."

"I live in awe of the people I was nominated against in this category, I live in awe of my producer Nathan Chapman, and all of the wonderfully talented musicians in Nashville," she continued. "Thank you to anyone who was a Grammy voter and decided it would be a good idea to vote for me for this because I'm so happy."

At the 2021 Grammy Awards, Swift was awarded the coveted album of the year award for "Folklore," her ninth studio album that the songstress wrote and produced entirely during quarantine. The album is regarded as one of Swift's best works and became the best-selling album of 2020.

The only other artists who have won album of the year three times are Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, and Paul Simon.

Taylor Swift is nominated for album of the year once again ahead of the 2022 Grammy Awards. If she wins, that would make her the record-holder of the most album of the year wins by any artist and the third artist to win album of the year in back-to-back years.

Following the breakout success of her first studio album, "When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go?" Billie Eilish swept the competition and ended up taking home the "Big Four" awards.

She is the first woman to accomplish this, and the second person in history to walk away with all four awards after Christopher Cross in 1981. Eilish, then 18, also beat Taylor Swift's record as the youngest recipient of the album of the year award.

Billie Eilish and her brother-producer Finneas O'Connell won an Oscar in March 2022 for their Bond theme "No Time to Die." She is the second-youngest winner ever in the category.

At the 2022 Grammy Awards, Eilish is nominated in all of the top categories following the release of her second studio album, "Happier Than Ever."

She is nominated in a whopping seven categories, including album of the year, record of the year, song of the year, best pop vocal solo performance, and best pop vocal album.

Legend was also nominated in five other categories, including song of the year for "Ordinary People." The award went to U2 for "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own."

His most recent win was for best R&B album at the 2021 Grammys. Due to the pandemic, Legend did not accept the award in person. Chrissy Teigen later shared the moments after Legend found out he had won the award, filming an adorable exchange for her Instagram stories.

"John, you just won R&B album of the year, how are you going to celebrate?" she asked, showing Legend in their home kitchen. "Mincing garlic," the singer replied.

"So grateful to win my 12th Grammy today, my 3rd for Best R&B Album," Legend later posted to his own Instagram page. "We all worked hard to make this album and then promote it during a global pandemic. It wasn't an ideal situation but we made the best of it and hopefully gave the world some music that helped make their days and nights a little better."

Mayer, who was just 23 at the time, also performed the track live at the ceremony, dressed in a simple orange Henley shirt and a pair of chinos.

"I pride myself on always being bigger than the moment, and smarter than the moment, and I'm just a 16-year-old kid in the moment, and this moment is kicking my ass," he said in his acceptance speech, which garnered laughs from the audience. "This is very, very fast, and I promise to catch up."

"After 21 years, eight studio albums, and some wonderful personal and creative relationships, I have decided not to renew my recording agreement with Columbia Records," Mayer wrote in a statement posted on his Instagram. "Hard as it is to say goodbye, I'm excited to pursue new avenues of making music, both of my own and with other artists."

"I love music more than ever, and I believe some of my best work still lies ahead," he continued. "With gratitude and enthusiasm, John."

Mars beat out Grammy hopefuls like John Mayer, Adam Lambert, and Michael Jackson, who was nominated posthumously for his song "This Is It."

The 11-time Grammy winner could take home two more awards, record of the year and best R&B performance, for "Leave The Door Open." The single was Mars' eighth No. 1 record on the Billboard Hot 100, and the fastest of any of his songs to reach the top spot.

That same year, Gaga also took home the award for best electronic/dance album for "The Fame."

Lady Gaga's past Grammy wins include two awards for best song written for visual media for her "A Star is Born" tracks "I'll Never Love Again" and "Shallow," best pop vocal album for "The Fame Monster," and best traditional pop vocal album for "Cheek To Cheek."

She is nominated at the 2022 Grammy Awards for "Love For Sale," her second album in collaboration with Tony Bennett.

She is also an Oscar winner. She won for best original song for "Shallow" from "A Star Is Born" in 2019. Most recently, she appeared beside Liza Minnelli to present the best picture award at the 2022 Oscars.
