The song "About That Time" by the rapper Lizo was declared the best musical recording.

– When we lost Prince, I decided that I would dedicate my life to making positive music. And I said to myself: "I don't care if my positivity bothers you, what's wrong with you?". When I started making music, positive music wasn't popular and I felt very misunderstood. But I stayed true to myself because I wanted to make the world a better place - said Lizo when she received the award.

Sam Smith и Kim Petras won the award for best performance by a pop duo or group for the song "Unholy". With this, Smith became the first non-binary performer and Petras became the first transgender person to win the award in this category.
