Some Grammy winners celebrated their big moments from the comfort of their own homes.
While Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and more stars stepped out at the 2025 Grammys, Jon Batiste and wife Suleika Jaouad, whose film American Symphony, won two awards, opted to watch the festivities from home after sharing that her cancer had returned.
“On this lazy Sunday, life is good,” Suleika captioned a joint Instagram post on behalf of the couple Feb. 2. “We’re so honored to win the Grammy for Best Music Film (and also for Song Written For Visual Media too!). We couldn’t make it to the ceremony but we’re beaming love from our couch to yours, and sending gratitude to all who made this film possible.”
Just weeks before the big night, the writer disclosed her diagnosis as she looked back at her ups and downs in 2024.
“When you learn for the third time you have cancer, it’s easy to feel hopeless,” she wrote on Instagram in December alongside snaps from throughout the year. “But my photos showed me that even in the hardest moments, there were so many joys. That life is not a monolith. That our forever work is to learn to hold the brutal and beautiful in the same palm.”
