Silk Sonic appeared at both the 2021 and 2022 Grammys, performing “Leave the Door Open” at the former and “777” at the latter. During the most recent ceremony, the duo took home record of the year, song of the year, best R&B performance and best R&B song for “Leave the Door Open.”
“We are really trying our hardest to remain humble at this point,” Anderson .Paak, 36, jokedwhile accepting record of the year— the duo’s fourth and final win of the night — at the April ceremony. “But in the industry, we call that a clean sweep.”
