The 61st GRAMMY AWARDS: And The Winners Are…

grammys

The 61st Grammys night started off with a bang with Camila Cabello singing her hit "Havana" with Ricky Martin. A vibrant West Side Story themed opening with plenty of salsa choreography lit up the stage before host, Alicia Keys was introduced live from STAPLES Center.

Almost four hours later, with several unnecessary segments… the show ended on a more bland note. If only the producers would cut a handful of moments, the long broadcast would be bearable; but there are just one too many performances. 

With a tribute to Dolly Parton with Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and a lovely performance from Diana Ross, other Grammy performers included: Yolanda Adams, J Balvin, , Cardi B, Brandi Carlile, Chloe X Halle, Andra Day, Dan + Shay, H.E.R., Fantasia, Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, Little Big Town, Post Malone, Maren Morris, Shawn Mendes, Janelle Monáe, Kacey Musgraves, Dolly Parton, Katy Perry, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mark Ronson, Diana Ross, Arturo Sandoval, Travis Scott, St. Vincent, and Young Thug.
