It was sweet. I don't imagine many magas watched. Music and dance is just too woke for them.
If they did watch, their heads exploded early on, due to iniquity overload.

Beyoncé won this because Cowboy Carter is a terrific country album. Give it a listen.

ON EDIT:
Album of the Year, too! Congratulations to her!

Beyoncé created a great album with Cowboy Carter. Pee Wee Herman, Nobel Prize, LeBron James? Sorry to say it sounds a bit disrespectful re: these two exceptionally talented female musicians. That’s just me.

I think she was a bit more humble about that. She declined the nomination of the R&R Hall of Fame. I'm sure I would have liked her rock album better than some things that are in the R&R HoF.

I have no problem with aging artists stretching out beyond their comfort zone. How many rock singers have done albums of jazz standards? Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson, Carly Simon, Sinead O'Connor, Wynonna Judd, Regis Philbin, and many others. Tina Louise (Ginger from Gilligan's Island) is actually pretty legit as a singer of jazz standards.

But these award things have little to do with the talent or quality of the work, and more about the popular interest. It wouldn't be much of a show if they handed out awards to a bunch of people you have never heard of. That's what America's Got Talent is for.

Ye and his wife, the Australian model Bianca Censori, were not kicked off the Grammys 2025 red carpet, despite rumors to the contrary.

Entertainment Weekly has learned that the couple arrived at the Crypto.com Arena today, walked the red carpet, and then left.

Speculation also ran that Ye and Censori were not invited to the ceremony, which is untrue. West is nominated alongside Ty Dolla $Ign, Rich The Kid, and Playboi Carti in the Best Rap Song category for "Carnival." All nominated artists are invited to the ceremony.

The unfounded rumors about West and Censori grew from the fact of Censori's scandalous red carpet outfit. Censori stepped onto the red carpet wearing a lush black fur coat, which she dropped to reveal a completely translucent, thigh-length slip. She wore nothing beneath the slip.

Then again every time I've seen a photo of her she looks like she's being held captive.
