2023 Grammy Awards Highlights
Viola Davis Just Got EGOT!
Davis will now go down on "herstory" as the third Black woman who managed to win the Holy Grail of entertainment awards - Emmy, Grammy, Oscars, and Tony. The 65th Annual Grammy Awards was instrumental for Viola Davis' EGOT win - she managed to win a Grammy Award for Best Audiobook Narration and Storytelling for "Finding Me."
Kim Petras Shoutouts Sophie, Madonna for Pop Duo Grammy
It's official! Kim Petras is the first Transgender artist who wins a Grammy Award for a Pop Duo/Group Performance. Her addition to Sam Smith's smash hit "Unholy" sealed the deal for her. In her impassioned speech, Petras thanked Madonna for being an LGBTQ rights champion and Grammy-nominated musician and close friend, Sophie.
Fans Take The Stage in Awarding Album of the Year
If you watched the Grammy Awards up until the very end, you would have seen the awesome fans who sat in a roundtable and discussed who deserves to take home the Album of the Year award. Out of the ten, 78-year-old Harry Styles fan Reina from Ontario, Canada, stole the show, as she was asked by Grammy host Trevor Noah to do the honors of announcing Harry Styles' "Harry's House" as the huge winner of the night.
Adele Meets Her New Best Friend
Contrary to popular belief, celebrities do not actually know each other all the time - they also need to be introduced to each other once in a while. Thanks to Trevor Noah, Adele was able to meet Dwayne The Rock Johnson, an actor who she had been dying to meet since. Coincidentally, it was Johnson who announced the Grammy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance, which he awarded to Adele and her chart-topping song "Easy on Me."
Lizzo Skips Class for Beyonce
Everyone was celebrating when Lizzo won Record of the Year for the Song of the Summer, "About Damn Time." In her very moving speech, Lizzo made sure that she would give Beyonce her rightful flowers for that night. She also mentioned that she skipped 5th grade just to see Beyonce perform live - "you clearly are the artist of our lives," she exclaimed.
Beyonce's Herstory Making
Despite being late to the party because of the Los Angeles traffic, Queen B arrived at the GRAMMYs. During the premiere ceremony, Beyonce has already managed to win Best Traditional R&B Performance for "Plastic off My Sofa" and Best Dance/Electronic Recording with "Break My Soul." During the live telecast, she was awarded Best R&B Song for "Break My Soul," and Best Dance/Electronic Album for "Renaissance." Because of the latter, Beyonce became the most awarded and most nominated artist in the history of the Grammy Awards with 32 wins and 88 nominations respectively.
