From Tate McRae to Anne Murray: Complete winners list from the 2025 Juno Awards

Canada's music scene is unthinkable without the Juno Awards. One of the nation's biggest annual musical galas, the 2025 Juno Awards was hosted by singer-songwriter Michael Bublé, at Rogers Arena. The event honored some of the country's most successful artists.

Multiple artists took to the stage to reflect on Canada's current cultural and political landscape, reports suggest. Several winners took a moment to address Canada's relationship with the United States.

Popular singer Tate McRae came up as the night's biggest winner as she took home four awards, Billboard reports, although she was notably absent from the televised ceremony and the industry gala the night before.

Other wins included The Beaches securing Group of the Year, Nemahsis bagging the Breakthrough Artist win, and Anne Murray receiving the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.

The night also saw Sum 41 inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, as the beloved pop-punk band received a farewell.
