The only 5 things you need to know about last night's Grammys GRAMMYs
Oh, the Grammys. It’s probably my favourite awards ceremony – packed with glamour, prestige and all the celebrities you care about. It seems to lack the terse competitiveness of the Oscars and replaces it with a music industry nonchalance.
The ceremony for 2023 took place last night in Los Angeles, hosted by Trevor Noah. It was, as predicted, a Beyonce smash – but she missed out on Best Album yet again, with a shock result in the category.
Accepting the prize, Styles said: “On nights like tonight, it’s obviously so important for us to remember that there is no such thing as best in music”. He added: “This doesn’t happen to people like me very often, and this is so, so nice.
Sam Smith and Kim Petras took the award for Best Duo/Group Performance for their song “Unholy”. Smith let Petras accept the trophy to acknowledge that Petras had made history. “Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I’m the first transgender woman to win this award,” said Petras, who is originally from Germany. She paid tribute to Madonna, her mother and the late hyperpop producer SOPHIE, who was also trans, for “kicking these doors open”.
It was a big night for the Isle of Wight: indie duo Wet Leg scooped Best Alternative Album – beating the likes of Bjork and Arcade Fire – and Best Alternative Music Performance for their song “Chaise Longue”. Lead singer Rhian Teasdale added a dose of clunky Britishness to all the toothy American sycophancy, saying as she accepted the Best Alternative Performance trophy: “This is so funny, thanks so much! What are we even doing here? I don’t know.
