From Fanboying to Politics: Grammys Telecast's Wild Ride
2 Feb
Summary
- Host Trevor Noah's final Grammy hosting gig was understated.
- Bad Bunny made a significant impact, winning Album of the Year.
- Performances ranged from elaborate sets to heartfelt tributes.
Trevor Noah hosted the Grammy Awards for the final time, delivering a performance described as enthusiastic but lacking memorable jokes or a distinct monologue. His approach focused on interacting with attendees rather than guiding the telecast. This contrasted with other award shows where hosts offered more pointed commentary.
Despite the host's low-key style, the evening saw significant moments from artists. Bad Bunny, a major winner, took home Album of the Year and used his acceptance speech to advocate for immigration rights. Performers like Sabrina Carpenter and Tyler, the Creator delivered elaborate and scaled productions, showcasing diverse styles.
The "In Memoriam" segment provided a notable peak, featuring powerful tributes including a rock-infused performance of "War Pigs" and a star-studded homage to D'Angelo and Roberta Flack. However, the telecast concluded with an awkward presentation that disrupted the evening's momentum.
