Olivia Rodrigo said winning three Grammys was a "dream come true".

Olivia Rodrigo, Silk Sonic and jazz musician Jon Batiste have shared the top honours at the 64th Grammy Awards.

Batiste won album of the year for his uplifting soul album We Are, while Rodrigo was named best new artist.

Silk Sonic's 1970s throwback single Leave The Door Open took home both record and song of the year.

Apart from the awards, the ceremony saw a tribute to Foo Fighters star Taylor Hawkins, and a video plea from Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky.

His speech was followed by a performance by John Legend, accompanied by Ukrainian musicians Siuzanna Iglidan and Mika Newton; and poet Lyuba Yakimchuk.
