Ah well.
It was just a night to be underwhelmed. No one brought it on the red carpet. And as of right now, the only performances that comes to mind were from Kendrick Lamar, Pentatonix (!!!) x Stevie Wonder's tribute to Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire, Laga Gaga's tribute to David Bowie, Alabama Shakes, Hamilton, and, maybe, the Lionel Richie tribute (Yay, Demi!). Everybody else was boring or I completely zoned out. Then the Album of the Year award was gifted to Ms. Taylor Swift. That gave me a hearty laugh. Not because I don't think she deserves it (don't really care much for 1989 but I do think Taylor is a gifted songwriter who knows how to pick hits). Oh no. The reason why I laughed so hard is because of the shitstorm this win will produce. Then T. Swizzle dropped the gauntlet and (rightfully) called out Kanye. Meanwhile, in other news, 'Ye is exhausting. I'm exhausted. He proclaimed last night on Twitter that his album will only be available on Tidal. Well, as far as I'm concerned, that means his album doesn't exist. Unless someone wants to provide me with a link. *shrugs*
Congratulations to Pentatonix, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, the Where Are You Now folks (aka Justin Beiber, Skrillex, and Diplo), Alabama Shakes, and Taylor Swift.
Let's get into some fashion, shall we?
Big Sean in Z Zegna He's looking very suave. And look at him smizing. |
Sam Hunt in Dolce & Gabbana #FAHN Like the switch up with the pink suit. Either the pants are wrinkled or it gives off that effect with his hands in the pocket because it's too tight. Love the shoes. |
Adele in Givenchy Adele in black. How shocking. The hairdo is cute. |
Ciara in Alexandre Vauthier She's leaving nothing to the imagination in this dress. Despite the crotch high split, it's not really exciting. It's just showing off her insanely toned body. |
Tori Kelly in Gauri and Nainika Meh. Gorgeous color. But that's all I got. And that is not the right hairstyle for her naturally curly hair. |
Taylor Swift in Atelier Versace Tay Tay did a similar skirt silhouette last year (scroll down to see the look) While she's definitely representing for the upcoming Spring season with the colors, this is a fail. Finally, she did something right to her hair. The choker was a nice touch. |
Now. It's the time we've been waiting for. Who won the David Bowie Inspired Look of the Night? The challengers? Zendaya (Coleman) and Lady Gaga.

And that's all she wrote. Did you watch the Grammys? Who gave you life with their performance? Any favorites on the red carpet?
