Grammys

Following a touching introduction from her wife and two daughters, Brandi Carlile took to the stage Sunday (Feb. 5) at the Grammy Awards to perform the roaring “Broken Horses” from her album of the year nominated In These Silent Days.
Opening with a rousing wail, Carlile delivered an epic rock set that showcased guitar skills, impressive vocal range and rasp, and her captivating presence. Plus, as her partner Catherine Shepherd said, she is also “one of the greatest, most authentic human beings on the planet.”
As host Trevor Noah said following her performance, Carlile was already a winner by the time she took the stage, taking home best rock performance and best rock song for “Broken Horses,” plus best Americana album for In These Silent Days.
On Saturday night (Feb. 4) during the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala, Carlile — standing alongside her close friend Rita Wilson — joked that she would die if she were to win best rock song over competitor Ozzy Osborne. She then revealed she and her band do indeed play Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” on tour.
Carlile has 24 nominations and six wins to her name. She is competing for album of the year alongside Lizzo, Beyonce, Harry Styles, ABBA, Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Adele and Mary J. Blige. She is also up for the big four category of record of the year, for “You and Me on the Rock” featuring Lucius.
The 65th annual Grammy Awards was telecast live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. This show marks comedian Noah’s third consecutive year hosting.

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards went down on Sunday night (February 5) at the Crytpo.com Arena and its red carpet is an annual cavalcade of high fashion. However, it is also the nexus of some incredibly awful fits.
Nah for real, some of these stylists are clearly criminals on the side. At the end of the day, thought, the artist does have the option to say, “No.”
So for archival purposes, it’s only right we compiled some of the wilder outfits, starting with…wait for it…Blac Chyna.
Did she drop any music in 2022? Umm, who gave her a ticket? So many questions, so much fail.
See more fashion fails (and some of the better fits) in the gallery.

Bad Bunny kicked off the 65th annual Grammy Awards with a bang. The Puerto Rican star, who is up for album of the year for Un Verano Sin Ti, was the first to take the stage on Sunday (Feb. 5), and his performance ran the gamut of Puerto Rican and Caribbean music.
Looking like the literal boy next door — as opposed to the global star he is — in light denim jeans, white sneakers, a white T-shirt and a baseball cap, Bunny started his high-energy performance with “El Apagón.”
He wasn’t alone. He was accompanied by a total of eight plena (a genre from Puerto Rico) dancers, seven pleneros and eight cabezudos — giant characters — in tow. The cabezudos — all manufactured and handled by people from Puerto Rico — were an homage to Puerto Rican legends Tego Calderón, Roberto Clemente, Julia de Burgos, among others. “With a lot of love to all of you,” Bunny said at the beginning.
He then went on to perform his hit song “Después de la Playa” with live music powered by the band of Damian “El Apechao,” with 10 musicians all from the Dominican Republic. On stage, there were around 40 merengue dancers. Off the stage, stars such as Jack Harlow and Taylor Swift got up and danced along to merengue.
Bad Bunny’s Billboard 200-topping album Un Verano Sin Ti is up for album of the year. It made history as the first-ever Spanish-language album to score a nod in that category. Un Verano Sin Ti debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 dated May 21 and spent 13 nonconsecutive weeks atop the chart – the most weeks at No. 1 since 2016.

Taylor Swift started her 2023 Grammy Awards night with a pre-telecast win and a shimmering walk down the red carpet.
The “Anti-Hero” hitmaker won the Grammy Award for best music video for “All Too Well: The Short Film,” which she wrote, directed and starred in with Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien. The honor was revealed during the Grammy Premiere Ceremony before the primetime event.
“I can’t put into words what this means to me,” Swift wrote on Twitter Sunday night (Feb. 5). “For the @RecordingAcad and my peers to acknowledge me as a director, and in doing so, acknowledge my work to try and reclaim my music… I’m blown away. Thank you to all the fans who willed this to happen.”

Fan tweets full of pride for Swift were aplenty, with one supporter replying with a photo of “All Too Well: The Short Film” cupcakes and the message “SO PROUD OF YOU!!! love you forever” and another fan surrounded by Red merch saying, “I MANIFESTED ALL AFTERNOON!!!! IM SO HAPPY ALL TOO WELL THE SHORT FILM GOT THE RECOGNITION IT DESERVES. You’re an amazing director and screenwriter and I cannot wait to see all the magic you make next.”
And by the way, Swift headed out on the red carpet tonight, soon after her “All Too Well: The Short Film” award was announced.
“taylor waited until she won a grammy to show up at the red carpet she’s so iconic idk,” one fan pointed out.
Swift arrived on the Grammys red carpet in a two-piece, sparkling, midnight blue gown, featuring a crop top and a long, swooping skirt. The glamorous look was accessorized with her signature red lip, her hair pinned up and a pair of statement earrings.
“EXCUSE ME TAYLOR??” another fan tweeted, sharing an extreme closeup of her earrings. Other Swifties in reply pondered “What does it MEAN? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?! AHHHHH” and noted of the jewels: “Everyone saying purple as if y’all don’t seeeee the light blue crystals next to the purple.” “speak now and 1989 colors,” read one comment, inferring that the earrings could point to one or both albums of which she has yet to release her “Taylor’s Version” re-recordings.
