From the most stunning red-carpet appearances to amazing performances, and historic wins, the 63rd Grammy Awards night was a rocking affair
With the social distancing firmly in place, the 63rd Grammy Awards night turned out to be an event to remember. From the dazzling performances to the red carpet glam and the most historic wins, the Grammys had it all!
Among the performers who set the stage on fire were K-pop band BTS who performed on their single ‘Dynamite’, Taylor Swift serenaded with ‘Cardigan’, Dua Lipa and Da Baby’s ‘Levitating’ and ‘Don’t Start Now’, as well as Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. As for the winners, it was women ruling the night all the way.
Beyoncé created history by adding more Grammys to her awards tally that now stands at 28 wins making her the most Grammy-winning artiste. Billie Eilish too made Grammys history by winning for her James Bond theme song ‘No Time To Die’. This is the first time in Grammy history that a song for a film not yet released has won an award.
