    Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars of Silk Sonic accept the record of the year award for "Leave the Door Open."

    This year's Grammy Awards were supposed to take place in January, but they wound up postponed until seven days after a cursed Oscars telecast. So, now that the awards season has mercifully concluded, here's what you need to know about the 2022 Grammys — the lessons, storylines, triumphs and irritations that defined the very long night.

    1. Never, ever underestimate the Grammys' love for Bruno Mars.

    Some of us — including this writer — decided months ago that song of the year and record of the year were bound to go to Olivia Rodrigo's "drivers license." The song was a massive smash, Rodrigo was 2021's breakout star and the Grammys love to announce the arrival of new A-listers by burying them in trophies. (See Billie Eilish's for evidence of this phenomenon.)
