Every year without fail, the Recording Academy gets called out for being out of touch and ignoring the most relevant artists. This fall, the Grammy board wants to try something new with online voting.
Beyoncé is no longer doing Coachella this summer, pushing back her performance dates to 2018, on account of the fact that she is freaking pregnant with twins. She announced her postponement via a statement to the Associated Press, pinpointing the schedule change on “doctor’s orders.” By the time Coachella rolls around…
The day after the Grammys, while people who cared about the ceremony were debating the racial implications of the Academy shutting out Beyoncé from the major categories while awarding the decidedly more milquetoast Adele, Drake was having his own conversation about the Grammys’ race problem as it applied to him. And…
Last night after everyone (including Adele) was smarting from Beyoncé’s grossly unfair Album of the Year loss, Tidal gently patted us on the heads and placed in our hands a midnight surprise-release that assuaged the disappointment: a new single from DJ Khaled’s album featuring Bey and Jay.
Despite all the social media posts you may have seen of Adele holding a Grammy that had been split in two, the Album of the Year winner did not break that thing in half and give one piece to Beyoncé. Vanity Fair reports it was all a big misunderstanding—though admittedly one we’d love to believe.
The 59th Annual Grammy Awards, the first in Trump’s America, happened this year, as it does. Here are the winners that were aired on live television.
The George Michael tribute at this year’s Grammys was handled by none other than Adele, who performed a radically stripped- and slowed-down version of Michael’s 1996 ode to cruising, “Fastlove” (a fitting tribute in every way, given Michael’s unabashed love of gay sex). Well, actually, Adele performed it, then…
Beyoncé’s first televised Grammy of Sunday night, for “Best Urban Contemporary” album, came just after her stunningly artful, boundary-breaking and nourishing performance (while pregnant with twins).
Beyoncé’s performance at tonight’s Grammy Awards was a thrill for some, baffling to others, but a tour de force by any measure. To best understand it, we’ve isolated her vocal track for your critical and cultural comprehension—and appreciation.
Will the Grammys be nearly as cool as Lady Gaga and Metallica think they are? That’s a likely no, but the prospect of a revelatory performance or complete meltdown keeps us coming back. Will Beyoncé’s Lemonade be as important to Grammy voters as it was to virtually everyone else on the planet who cares about pop…
The Grammys begin at something like noon in Los Angeles—by 2 p.m. Pacific, the red carpet was already in full swing—which is a side effect of how many awards they give away before the broadcast. It’s unfortunate, really, particularly considering people probably had to start getting “glam” at like 10 a.m., which seems…
Katy Perry has been busy lately, but her work has predominately taken place off-stage. After campaigning vehemently for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, she has donated to Planned Parenthood, produced and bankrolled a pro-Muslim PSA, and participated in the Women’s March on Washington. But on…
No matter how many at-home spells we try, we can’t escape Lukas Graham (which as you’ll recall is a band, not one person!) or Meghan Trainor, who announced the nominees for the 59th Annual Grammy Awards on CBS this morning.
James Corden, the late night host we initially treated like a tourist asking for directions when we’re in a rush, will host the Grammy Awards in February, taking the place of LL Cool J. This is an actual good idea.
Kanye West, a man of many opinions, has yet another one: Frank Ocean should be nominated for a Grammy. In fact, Kanye feels so strongly about the matter that he has threatened not to attend the ceremony if Ocean is snubbed. And he’s right: Ocean absolutely should be nominated. The problem is that he isn’t.
Remember the Grammys a few weeks ago? The red carpet was fine. Lady Gaga, who just five years ago arrived in a dinosaur egg, wore Marc Jacobs. We expect musicians to get a little looser, to play with their artistic leeway in their looks more than actors, but for the most part they wore some variation of evening gown,…
Though the Grammys began at something like 6 AM PST this morning, there will potentially be a nighttime amount of happenings. Everyone’s freaking out at the possibility of a Zayn/remaining members of possibly now-defunct boy band One Direction run-in. Rihanna is probably performing “Work”—in which she will no doubt…
If you haven’t yet fallen in love with Hamilton like everyone else, or maybe you’re still contemplating the idea of spending hundreds on a Broadway show, the Grammy Awards Monday night saved you a little bit.
Rihanna has canceled her performance at tonight’s Grammy Awards.
Shad Moss, who will probably forever have to be clarified as a person by explaining that he’s also known as Bow Wow aka Lil’ Bow Wow, had some communication issues with the producers over at CBS for the Grammys Monday night, accidentally announcing the start of the show not once, but twice—and that second time wasn’t…
