2012 Grammy Awards Winners – Full List
The 2012 Grammy Awards, like every year prior, were held to pay tribute to accredited artists of all genres at what is considered music’s biggest night. Country music wasn’t left out in the cold, of course, and many big names came out to Los Angeles on Feb. 12 to represent with big belt buckles, big hair and big voices.
While most folks waited to tune into the action at 8PM ET on CBS, the event began hours earlier with an early broadcast of the red carpet and a pre-televised awards ceremony on the Grammys website. There, many country music affiliates were honored for their great work, as Levon Helm picked up the Grammy for the Best Americana Album, and Alison Krauss and Union Station picked up a similar treasure for Best Bluegrass Album. Taylor Swift was present in the pre-televised event, where she collected two awards — one for Best Country Solo Performance and one for Best Country Song.
The full list of nominees are listed below, and the winners’ names appear in bold. It will be updated live as the show continues. Congratulations to the all of the 2012 Grammy Awards winners!
