Variety‘s Hitmakers event brought much of the cream of the crop of the talent that has moved and shaken the charts in 2025 into one room. Among those gathered at Nya West in Hollywood for the luncheon (which follows closely on the heels of Variety‘s annual Hitmakers special issue) were Hitmaker of the Year Sabrina Carpenter and the singers of “Golden” from “KPop Demon Hunters” — Audrey Nuna, EJAE and Rei Ami, pictured above.

Scroll on for more photos of these stars and others honored at the event, including Rosé, Addison Rae, Tate McRae, Alex Warren, Role Model, BigXthaPlug, Tyler, the Creator, the Marías, Megan Moroney, Buddy Guy, Jack Antonoff, Mustard, Sounwave, Elliot Grainge and Fuerza Regida.

Presenters included in our photo gallery include Andre 3000, Laufey, Ben Platt, Miles Caton, Benny Blanco, Jimmy Jam, Jessie Jo Dillon and Jake Shane. The event also drew such figures as Shaboozey, Diane Warren and Ty Dolla Sign.
