One of the most prestigious awards in the field of music i.e. the Grammy Awards 2021 got held today. Popular comedian cum talk show host Trevor Noah hosted the event that was carried out on an outdoor stage owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic at the Convention centre, Los Angeles.
Many celebrated names from the world of music like Harry Styles, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Cardi N, Post Malone, DaBaby, John Mayer, Megan Thee Stallion, and so on gave zealous performances at the ceremony. Another major highlight of this year’s Grammy award was BTS being the first-ever K-pop band to take over the stage solo for a performance. They might not have won awards but they surely won hearts.
Speaking of winning, many artists created through their wins. For instance, sensational diva Beyoncé became the only artist in the history of Grammy awards to have 28 wins to her name. She now has the most wins by a female artist. This year she won ‘Best R&B Performance’ for her song Black Parade and Best Rap Performance with Megan Thee Stallion for their song ‘Savage’.
Billie Eilish won the second consecutive time in a row in the category of ‘Record of the Year’ for her song ‘Everything I Wanted’. Whereas Taylor Swift took home the trophy for ‘Album of the Year’ for ‘Folklore’ that she composed as well as released during the lockdown.
