Nine Inch Nails is finally back to its Grammy glory after being nominated for this year’s ceremony.
On Sunday, celebrities and artists gathered at a star-studded 68th annual awards show at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Hosted by Trevor Noah for the sixth time in a row, the event celebrates the industry’s top talent and outstanding contributions to music.
Among those who received the coveted recognition was Nine Inch Nails, winning Best Rock Song for its single “As Alive As You Need Me to Be,” beating out Sleep Token’s “Caramel,” Hayley Williams’ “Glum,” Turnstile’s “Never Enough,” and Yungblud’s “Zombie.”
Unfortunately, the band was unable to attend the ceremony to accept the award.
The recognition was Nine Inch Nails’ first Grammy win in 30 years. Their first was in 1993 when they won Best Metal Performance for the song "Wish.”
