A controversy-free Grammy Awards honors Jon Batiste, Silk Sonic, Olivia Rodrigo and others.
The Grammy Awards steered clear of the controversy that turned the slap-filled Oscars into a subject of national conversation a week ago. And the Sunday event managed to honor a wide variety of musical artists — the true point of the ceremony — at the same time.
Silk Sonic, the R&B duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak, opened the show with an explosive performance. The duo was later recognized during the ceremony with two top honors — song and record of the year — for “Leave the Door Open.”The awards ceremony, televised live on CBS, was hosted for the second consecutive year by Trevor Noah of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.
The event kept the focus on the music, with a steady stream of performances. Featured artists included BTS, Bieber, Rodrigo, singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile, country stars Carrie Underwood and Chris Stapleton and rappers Nas and Lil Nas X. Numerous winners were also announced before the televised ceremony. The Foo Fighters, who were inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame last year, won awards for best rock album and best rock song . The honors carried special meaning for the group, since its drummer, Taylor Hawkins, recently died.
