#Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande Win Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at 2021 Grammys

Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande have won the 2021 Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Rain on Me.” They won the award over Justin Bieber and Quavo (“Intentions”), BTS (“Dynamite”), Taylor Swift and Bon Iver (“Exile”), and J Balvin, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny, and Tainy (“Un Dia”). It marks the first time two women have won the award for a collaboration.

Grande shared a note on Instagram thanking Gaga. “eternally, deeply grateful for u, for this experience, to have been a part of this song and this celebration of healing and recovery,” she wrote. “grateful to be able to dance in the rain with u, to call u my dear friend, and to now share this. beyond thankful. congratulations queen, ti voglio bene.”

Gaga’s Chromatica was also nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album; this was Grande’s only nomination at the 2021 Grammys. Grande released a deluxe update of last year’s Positions in February, featuring three new songs and a new remix of “34+35” with Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion.
