80 Thoughts on the 2020 Grammy Awards
The Grammy's are one of my favorite award shows and this year was no different on that front but overall they had a different vibe. Kobe Bryant, the all star legend, and his 13 year old daughter died tragically just hours before the show. The show was emotional from start to finish with powerful performances from Camilla Cabello and Demi Lovato and tributes to Prince, Nipsey Hussle and Kobe Bryant. Here are my thoughts:
Lizzo started it OFF with, “Tonight is for Kobe!” Yes
Lizzo the ultimate orchestra director
This dress
5. I love ballet
6. Doing ballet to truth hurts. YESSS
7. More ballerinas!
8. I wonder if the dancers get to stay and watch the rest of the show
9. She’s so excited!
10. Very into Lil Nas X’s look tonight
11. “Standing heartbroken in the house that Kobe Bryant built.” It would be so hard to be at the Staples Center and be happy right now.
12. Alicia Keyes and Boyz II Men singing “Goodbye to Yesterday” is literally giving me chills right now
13. I like Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani is only ok. Meh.
14. Gwen looks like the bridal version of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. No.
15. Very into Ariana Grande’s look tonight
16. Not into Billie Eilish’s look
17. This piano number must have been her original opening plan
18. Lil Nas is sitting by Ellen, yesss
19. Here we go, this is the Alicia Keyes VOICE
20. “Commander in Chief impeached, yall let’s bring Cardi B in.” YESSS
21. Billy Porter looks AMAZING
22. “Ladies, Gentleman, and those who are yet to make up their minds” The Grammy’s are the best for reasons like this!
23. Now it’s the Jo Bros!!
24. Into this gold suit, Kevin!
25. I love this song
26. The Jo Sisters are doing their choreography from the video. How cute!
27. LIZZO WON!
28. Seriously, so dead over this dress.
29. Trevor Noah, best speaking voiceeee
30. I don’t really listen to Tyler The Creator, but this is a cool performance
31. These Tyler clones remind me of when Eminen performed with all the Slim Shady clones at the VMAs
32. Shania Twain looks flawless
33. YES!!! Speechless by Dan and Shay won. I love them!! And that song <3
34. Oh damn DANIEL, this pink suit
35. This is a good Prince tribute
36. I’ve never heard this song (First Man) by Camilla Cabelo. I like it
37. Aw there’s home videos
38. Her dad is crying. OMG, I’m going to cry.
39. I’m going to dance with my dad to this song at my wedding
40. This song (Bring Me Flowers) by Tanya Tucker is especially relevant today.
41. Dave Chapelle was the one person I did not want to win. I watched like 10 minutes of his special and turned it off. Boo.
42. Ben Platt is looking good. The blazer
43. Ariana Grande can SINGGGG
44. I love her
45. She looks like a Barbie doll
46. Aerosmith has only won 4 Grammy’s?? That’s surprising
47. The crowd doesn’t seem super into this performance
48. RUN DMC and Aerosmith are both so good but I’m not digging this performance. I think it’s a flop.
49. Also, anytime I see Rev Run, I think of him in the bathtub at the end of each Run’s House
50. Dang! Tyler the Creator just JUMPED UP on stage
51. Lil Nas in this sparkly shirt and pants. YESSS
52. This is the coolest performance.
53. I wonder if they’re getting dizzy

61. John Legend has tails on. How fancy.
62. They put Kobe up there with Nipsey Hussle. That’s good.
63. LOVING the women of Little Big Town’s dresses
64. My Girl <3
65. I didn’t realize that’s what Lewis Capaldi looked like
66. I wonder how their parents came up with the names Billie and Finneas Eilish
67. Alicia Keyes has such a pretty voice
68. Sharon Osbourne reading these rap song names and artists is just something…
