It’s been nearly two weeks since the GRAMMYs rocked television screens, but many viewers are still talking about the night’s biggest winner – Jon Batiste.

Walking away with five of the 11 awards he was nominated for (including Album of the Year), Batiste delivered one of the ceremony’s most memorable performances and biggest upsets.

The best-selling female Gospel singer of all time, Winans – already the genre’s most decorated GRAMMY-winning singer – entered the show’s 64th annual ceremony Sunday (April 3) up for three more trophies thanks to her 2021 Billboard chart-topping album, ‘Believe For It.’

Sweeping every category she was nominated in, the flawless victory comes as yet another history-making achievement for CeCe.  See how inside:
