2018 Grammy Awards Recap

I’ve said it so many times, and I’ll say it again – I love a good awards show. Hanging at home on a Sunday night with some takeout, the red carpet, and The Grammys? It’s just the best. This year’s 2018 Grammy Awards show did not disappoint – the awards were amazing. Of course, the red carpet proved to be stunning, and the performances were on point. If you’re not familiar with the Grammys, here’s the scoop according to Wiki:

2018 Grammy Awards Recap

“This was the 60th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony! The CBS network broadcast the show live from Madison Square Garden in New York City. It was the first time since 2003 that the ceremony was held outside Los Angeles (where the Staples Center had been the home of the Grammys since 2004). James Corden returned as host. The ceremony recognizes the best recordings, compositions, and artists of the eligibility year, which ran from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017.”

The red carpet was amazing, as usual:

Many stars wore a white rose to show their support for the Times Up and Me Too movements that have swept the entertainment industry this year.

The performances were out of this world – here are a few highlights, according to Billboard:

Kendrick Lamar feat. U2 & Dave Chappelle, Medley: His Grammys-opening medley was perhaps his greatest yet, a mix of deep cuts, unreleased verses and single fragments that could’ve left viewers in the cold if they weren’t hanging on his every blistering word.

Bruno Mars & Cardi B, “Finesse” (Remix): Few performances of the evening were as anticipated as Bruno and Cardi’s team-up for their first televised rendition of their much-loved new remix, and the duo didn’t disappoint.

Kesha, “Praying”: Her performance — supported by an all-female choir of co-stars, including Camila Cabello, Cyndi Lauper and Andra Day — was spellbinding, trembling with fury and righteousness but still remarkably under control, personal and universal and as necessary as you could ask for from a 2018 award show performance.
