Grammys 2022: Η εμφάνιση του Ζελένσκι και κάποια βραβεία

Τα 64α ετήσια μουσικά βραβεία Grammy πραγματοποιήθηκαν το βράδυ της Κυριακής. Το σόου πραγματοποιήθηκε για πρώτη φορά στο Λας Βέγκας, στην MGM Grand Garden Arena και ο Τρέβορ Νόα επέστρεψε ως οικοδεσπότης.

Highlight της βραδιάς η αιφνιδιαστική εμφάνιση του προέδρου της Ουκρανίας Βολοντίμιρ Ζελένσκι, ο οποίος ζήτησε βοήθεια για τη χώρα του. Ακολούθησε η εκτέλεση του τραγουδιού «Free» από τον John Legend.

Τα βραβεία Grammy ειχαν προγραμματιστεί για τις 31 Ιανουαρίου, αλλά αναβλήθηκαν λόγω της έξαρσης της πανδημίας του κορωνοϊού.

Ο Jon Baptist, ο frontman της μπάντας από το «The Late Show With Stephen Colbert», κέρδισε πέντε βραβεία Grammy. Η 19χρονη ποπ καλλιτέχνης Ολίβια Ροντρίγκο, κέρδισε το βραβείο του καλύτερου νέου καλλιτέχνη και το καλύτερο ποπ φωνητικό άλμπουμ.

Οι Rodrigo, BTS, Lil Nas X, Silk Sonic, Billie Eilish, J Balvin, Carrie Underwood και Lady Gaga πραγματοποίησαν την εμφάνιση τους επί σκηνής των μουσικών βραβείων Grammy 2022, ενώ η Lady Gaga αφιέρωσε το κομμάτι «Do I love you?», στο φίλο της Tony Bennett.

Τα βραβεία Grammy τίμησαν τον Taylor Hawkins, ντράμερ των Foo Fighters που πέθανε πρόσφατα.

Κατά τα λοιπά, στην τελετή απενεμήθησαν δεκάδες βραβεία, τα περισσοτερα φυσικά όχι live, τα οποία όπως συμβαίνει κατά κανόνα τα τελευταία χρόνια, ουδέναν αφορούν, πέραν της ίδιας της μουσικής βιομηχανίας.
