Winner's Circle: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are Grammys Royals
So long Lupita. See you later Leonardo. Tonight, it was all about the melodious moments and catchy choruses that made 2013 sound a little bit sweeter. Though mouths were agape during Beyoncé’s come-hither “Drunk in Love,” and Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons reigned as the best performers of the night, it was Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Recording Academy favorites, who surfaced as victors, sealing their fates as Best New Artist, and 2014’s most promising act.
