The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards finally arrived on March 14th at 20:00 hrs. ET to celebrate the best of the best from a safe distance. Even though there was no live audience, the South African comedian Trevor Noah managed to keep up the magic vibe by hosting the ceremony from Los Angeles Convention Center. And if you were not able to follow up every single moment of the most important music awards, do not worry, we got your back. We will talk about the highlights, nominees, presentations and winners so you can stay updated and not be left behind.
First, let’s talk about how social media loved Trevor Noah’s interactions with artists. One of the highlights were when he surprised Beyoncé when announcing that she tied the most old time record for most Grammy wins ever. And when you make Queen B get a big smile, you know you are special and fulled of charisma.
Also, ARMYs thanked Trevor Noah for recognizing BTS efforts during their presentation at the Grammy Awards from South Korea.
Obviously, the main performances of the most idolized artists cannot be forgotten. Dua Lipa stole the night with her breathtaking talent and stunning visuals. A dynamic choreography with three different outfits that allowed us to have fun with her. Of course DaBaby made part of this energetic presentation.
Another act that made noise all over social media was Harry Styles when performing Watermelon Sugar. He is the perfect example of less is more. No more than his presence is needed on stage when his passion for music shines.
Of course the Latin vibe can never be missed. The Academy Award winner Bad Bunny performed along Jhay Cortez the single Dákiti. For more Bad Bunny´s content at the NARAS is necessary to go to the Grammy´s official website. But for now a teaser that will make you wish for more can be seen.
Other artist that will make you wish for more is Taylor Swift with her Live Grammy Performance. She interpreted her sings Cardigan, August and Willow with fairytale stage. She has shown us that she has grown and matured as an artist without necessarily losing her essence.
This year The Academy recognized various artists in 83 different categories. Therefore, let’s see the nominees list along the winners, and no worries, we will help you to know them all by playing their music.
