Y Entertainment: Tate McRae dominates 2025 Juno Awards as new talent shines and Canadian legends honoured

31 March 2025: The 54th edition of the Juno Awards took place on March 30, 2025, in Vancouver, celebrating the best of Canadian music with over 40 awards presented. Among the night’s biggest winners was Tate McRae, who dominated the ceremony by securing four awards, including Album of the Year for “Think Later,” Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, and Single of the Year for “Exes.”

First-time winners also made headlines. Lowell won her first Juno in the newly introduced category of Songwriter of the Year (Non-Performer) for her contributions to Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning album “Cowboy Carter.” Nemahsis took home Breakthrough Artist of the Year and had previously won Alternative Album of the Year for “Verbathim.” Snotty Nose Rez Kids also enjoyed a double win with Rap Single of the Year for “BBE” and Rap Album/EP of the Year for “Red Future.”

In a night that celebrated both new and legendary talent, Sum 41 was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, Boi-1da received the International Achievement Award, and Anne Murray was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
