Grammy Winner Missed Award Due to Snowstorm Chaos
6 Aug
Summary
- Michelle Branch won a Grammy but missed the ceremony due to traffic.
- She was unaware the award was announced during the pre-telecast.
- Branch is releasing a new EP with reimagined hits and Gregg Alexander.
Michelle Branch recounted a unique Grammy experience where she won Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for 'The Game of Love' with Santana at the 2003 awards but was unable to accept it. A significant snowstorm caused a major traffic jam, preventing her from reaching the venue in time for the pre-telecast announcement.
She discovered her win through congratulatory phone calls while stuck in transit. Branch expressed a desire for a 're-do' of the moment, as she missed the opportunity to give a speech. The singer is preparing to release a new EP, 'Everywhere and Back Again,' on November 6, marking her 25-year career with updated versions of her popular songs.
The EP's lead single is a reimagined 'The Game of Love,' featuring Gregg Alexander, the original songwriter and producer. Branch also mentioned her initial hope for Olivia Rodrigo to collaborate, but was pleased with how her voice blended with Alexander's on the track.
