GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY, AND WELCOME TO THE 65th ANNUAL

GRAMMY AWARDS.

MY NAME IS TREVOR NOAH, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THREE YEARS,

WE ARE COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM LOS ANGELES.

THE BEST CITY IN THE WORLD IF YOU IGNORE A FEW OTHER CITIES.

TONIGHT, YOU ARE IN FOR A SPECIAL TREAT AS SOME OF THE

MOST PHENOMENAL ARTISTS ON EARTH ARE GOING TO BE PERFORMING IN

THIS BUILDING RIGHT BEHIND ME.

AND THE RECORDING ACADEMY IS GOING TO BE GIVING AWAY THE

BIGGEST SURPRISE IN ALL OF MUSIC, THE GRAMMY AWARD.

SO, LET'S GET STRAIGHT INTO IT.

TO KICK THINGS OFF ON MUSE'S BIGGEST NIGHT A GRAMMY-WINNING

GLOBAL FORCE WHO IS THE MOST STREAMED AND LISTENED TO ARTIST

IN THE WORLD WITH THREE NOMINATIONS THIS YEAR INCLUDING

ALBUM OF THE YEAR "BIENVENIDO," BAD BUNNY!

OH, HEY.

GIVE IT UP FOR BAD BUNNY, EVERYBODY!

WOW!

WOW, THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO HIM, I GET HIPS I NEVER KNEW I

HAD.

IT MAKES TRUMP WANT TO LEARN SPANISH.

THAT'S WHAT IT DOES.

THIS IS IT, PEOPLE!

WELCOME TO THE GRAMMYS, EVERYBODY!

WELCOME TO IT.

WE MADE IT.

WE'RE BACK!

AND I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE BACK AS YOUR HOST TONIGHT.

MY JOB IS TO BE YOUR EYES, YOUR EARS.

I'LL BE FLOATING AROUND THIS AM RADIO.

THINK OF ME LIKE A CHINESE SPY BALLOON.

THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW.

GATHERING ALL THE INFORMATION

YOU WANT.

JUST LOOK AT ALL THE FACES.

WE GOT THE BEST MUSICIANS, THE BEST PERFORMERS, BEST PRODUCERS

IN THE WORLD.

EVERY SONG ON TIKTOK THAT YOU HEAR, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO MADE

THEM.

THIS IS THEM.

AND WHEN I SAY WE HAVE THE BIGGEST NAMES, I MEAN THE

BIGGEST NAMES IN THE ROOM.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

LL COOL J, MADURO IN THE ROOM.

LOOK AT THIS ROOM.

IT'S INSANE!

IT'S THE WHO'S WHO'S EVERYBODY.

WE GOT QUEST AND THE GANG.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?

WE GOT BEYONCE'S IN THE ROOM, PEOPLE.

YOU UNDERSTAND HOW AMAZING THIS

IS RIGHT NOW?

YOU UNDERSTAND, BEYONCE IS NOMINATED FOR HER ALBUM

"RENAISSANCE," WHICH, BY THE WAY WAS BETTER THAN ANYTHING FROM

THE ACTUAL RENAISSANCE, IN MY OPINION.

THE RENAISSANCE WAS JUST PICTURES OF GRAPES AND STUFF.

BEYONCE TOOK IT UP ANOTHER LEVEL.

IN FACT, I WAS SO INSPIRED BY THE LYRICS OF "BREAK MY SOUL,"

THAT I ACTUALLY QUIT MY JOB.

THAT'S HOW POWERFUL THAT WAS.

I JUST WISH BEYONCE HAD ALSO WRITTEN TABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF

HAVING SAVINGS BEFORE YOU QUIT YOUR JOB.

HARRY STYLES IS TONIGHT, EVERYBODY!

THAT'S RIGHT.

WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THIS MAN THAT HASN'T BEEN SAID?

INCREDIBLE ALBUM, MIND-BLOWING... WHAT IS IT

15-NIGHT RUN AT MSG AND THE FORUM?

WOMEN THROW THEIR PANTIES AT THIS MAN AND THEN HE PUTS THEM

ON AND HE LOOKS BETTER IN THEM THAN THEY DO.

EASILY THE WORLD'S SEXIEST MAN.

SEX SYMBOL OF THE GLOBE, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THEY KILLED

OFF THE GREEN M&M.

THIS IS THE ROOM, PEOPLE.

WE GOT L.A.'S VERY OWN KENDRICK LAMAR JOINING US IN THE

BUILDING.

THE MAN IS SUPER TALENTED.

HE'S GOT GRAMMYS.

HIS ALBUM WAS A THERAPY SESSION THAT EARNED HIM MULTIPLE GRAMMY

NOMINATIONS.

ALL MY GOT ME WAS HELPING ME OVERCOME MY CHILDHOOD TRAUMA.

USELESS.

FOR NOW WE'RE GOING TO BE

TALKING ABOUT TRAUMA.

WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THERAPY.

FROM COMPTON'S FINEST ALL THE WAY TO BROOKLYN'S FINEST.

THAT'S RIGHT, JAY-Z'S GOING TO BE IN THE HOUSE WITH US.

JAY-Z'S GOING TO BE PERFORMING.

IT'S GOING TO BE SO SPECIAL.

AND I'M OOH LOOKING FORWARD TO IT BECAUSE JAY-Z COULD'VE BEEN

ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TONIGHT.

BUT HE'S HERE WITH US, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

LIZZO'S JOINING US.

THAT'S LIZZO OVER THERE.

OH, I SEE YOU, LIZZO.

LOOK AT THAT SMILE.

CONGRATULATIONS ON EVERYTHING, THE TV SHOWS, TAKING OVER THE

WORLD, KILLING THE HATERS ON INSTAGRAM AND TWITTER.

I LOVE IT.

THE MOST FAMOUS FLUTE PLAYER IN THE WORLD SINCE I'M SURE THERE

WERE OTHERS... BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

AND YOU WANT TO STICK AROUND

BECAUSE LIZZO IS PERFORMING TONIGHT AT EXACTLY "BAD B...

O'CLOCK."

I'VE NEVER SEEN A ROOM THIS STACK.

TAYLOR SWIFT IS GOING TO BE WITH US.

OH, SHE'S RIGHT THERE!

LOOK AT THIS.

SHE'S RIGHT THERE.

SOLD MORE ALBUMS THAN ANY OTHER HUMAN ON THE PLANET LAST YEAR.

THAT'S RIGHT.

MORE THAN ANYBODY.

THE ONLY MUSIC WE LISTEN TO MORE THAN TAYLOR'S MUSIC WAS THE HOLD

MUSIC FOR SOUTHWEST AIRLINES.

THEY'VE GOT THE REAL STREAMING NUMBERS.

AND I LOVE YOUR SONG "ANTIHERO."

MY ANTI-IS ALSO A HERO.

HER NAME IS BEATRICE.

WE'VE GOT SO MANY INCREDIBLE GREATS PERFORMING TONIGHT.

EVERYONE FROM STEVIE WONDER TO KASEY MUSGRAVES.

WE'VE GOT FROM BONNIE RAITT TO LIL WAYNE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS ANY OF IT.

EVERY GENERATION, EVERY GENRE.

TONIGHT MY JOB IS JUST TO BE THE HOST, THE BEST HOST I CAN BE.

AND TO DO THAT I TRY AND LEARN WHAT EVERYBODY'S INTO.

I TRY AND KNOW MY GUESTS.

FOR INSTANCE, I KNOW THAT LL COOL J REALLY LOVES BREAKFAST

CEREALS.

I KNOW THAT CARDI B IS OBSESSED WITH PRESIDENTS.

THAT'S A REAL THING.

I ALSO KNOW THAT ADELE LOVES TEA.

HER VEGAS SHOW IS PHENOMENAL.

AND THIS IS ONE OF THE STRANGEST THINGS I FOUND OUT.

THE PERSON THAT ADELE HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET BUT NEVER HAVE IS

DWAYNE JOHNSON.

YOU'VE NEVER MET HIM.

YEAH.

AND THEN I FOUND OUT THAT HE'S A HUGE FAN OF YOURS, TOO.

AND I DON'T HAVE DWAYNE JOHNSON HERE TONIGHT, BUT I DO HAVE

SOMEONE CALLED "THE ROCK."

ADELE, MEET THE ROCK.

THE ROCK, MEET ADELE.

FIRST TIME EVER!

ALL RIGHT.

YOU TWO GET ACQUAINTED.

WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THIS SHOW MOVING.

NOW, BEFORE WE GET INTO OUR NEXT PERFORMANCE, I WANTED TO LET YOU

KNOW THAT EARLIER TODAY AT THE PRE-SHOW, THE PREMIERE CEREMONY,

BEYONCE WON TWO AWARDS WHICH PUTS HER JUST TWO WIN AS WAY

FROM BREAKING THE ALL-TIME RECORD OF HAVING THE MOST GRAMMY

WINS OF ANY INDIVIDUAL EVER.

EVER, PEOPLE!

TONIGHT WE COULD ALL WITNESS

HISTORY.

AND EVEN IF SHE DOESN'T BREAK THE RECORD, SHE STILL GETS TO BE

BEYONCE, SO IT'S A WIN/WIN.

FOR THE 65th ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS WE DECIDED TO DO

SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO'VE PLAYED BIG

PARTS IN OUR PERFORMER'S MUSICAL SUCCESS STORIES AND THEIR LIVES

TO INTRODUCE THEM.

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THE ARTISTS WOULD THANK IF WE DIDN'T PLAY

THEM ALL AFTER 25 SECONDS.

HERE ARE THREE PEOPLE WHO ARGUABLY LOVE HER EVEN MORE THAN

HER BIGGEST FANS.

HER WIFE CATHERINE AND THEIR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN ELIJAH AND

EVANGELINE.

MILLIONS OF YOU WATCHING

TONIGHT FELL IN LOVE WITH OUR NEXT PERFORMER JUST FOUR YEARS

AGO WHEN SHE TOOK THE GRAMMY STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND

DELIVERED ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC PERFORMANCES IN GRAMMY HISTORY.

I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MARRY HER MORE THAN A DECADE AGO, SO I WAS

WAY AHEAD OF YOU.

IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME TO STAND HERE TONIGHT WITH OUR TWO

BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS BY MY SIDE, AND INTRODUCE, IN OUR HUMBLE

OPINION, ONE OF THE GREATEST, MOST AUTHENTIC ARTISTS AND HUMAN

BEINGS ON THE PLANET.

HERE TO ROCK OUR FACES OFF WITH "BROKEN HORSES" FROM HER

GRAMMY-NOMINATED ALBUM "IN THESE SILENT DAYS," MY WIFE, AND THEIR

MAMA... Together: BRANDI CARLILE!

I WEAR MY FATHER'S LEATHER ON THE INSIDE OF MY SKIN

THAT'S RIGHT, PEOPLE ARE GOING FOR BRANDI CARLILE,

EVERYBODY.

WHAT A VOICE.

BY THE WAY, BRANDI HAS ALREADY WON THREE AWARDS JUST TONIGHT.

SO CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT.

THERE IS NO MORE DESERVING OF A PERFORMANCE.

SHE'S ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL.

NOW, HERE TO PRESENT THE FIRST GRAMMY AWARD OF THE NIGHT IS

JENNIFER LOPEZ.

REMEMBER, SHE'S A SINGER, SHE'S A DANCER, SHE'S A MOVIE STAR,

SHE'S AN ICON.

AND EVEN WITH INFLATION, HER LOVE STILL DON'T COST A THING.

PLEASE WELCOME JENNIFER LOPEZ.

WOW, FROM BAD BUNNY TO BRANDI

CARLILE, I LOVE MUSIC'S BIGGEST NIGHT.

AND I AM SO EXCITED TO PRESENT OUR FIRST GRAMMY AWARD THIS

EVENING.

IN WHAT CAN SEEM LIKE A SINGLES WORLD, THIS CATEGORY CELEBRATES

EXCELLENCE FOR A GREAT POP ALUM.

A BODY OF MUSICAL WORK THAT TELLS A STORY THROUGH SONG AND

CONNECTS WITH ALL OF US.

AS THE LATE, GREAT PRINCE SAID ON THIS STAGE IN HIS LAST GRAMMY

APPEARANCE EIGHT YEAR AGO, "ALBUMS STILL MATTER."

HERE IS AN ECLECTIC GROUP OF OUTSTANDING ARTISTS WHO, EACH IN

THEIR OWN WAY, RAISED THEIR EXPRESSIVE VOICES AND MADE A

MUSICAL STATEMENT LOVED ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

THESE ARE THE NOMINEES FOR BEST POP VOCAL ALBUM...

"VOYAGE," ABBA.

"30," ADELE.

"MUSIC OF THE SPHERES,"

COLDPLAY.

"SPECIAL," LIZZO.

"HARRY'S HOUSE," HARRY STYLES.

AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO...

AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO...

"HARRY'S HOUSE," HARRY STYLES!

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THIS ALBUM, FROM START TO FINISH, HAS BEEN THE GREATET

EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.

FOR MAKING IT WITH TWO OF MY BEST FRIENDS, TO PLAYING IT FOR

PEOPLE HAS BEEN THE GREATEST JOY I COULD HAVE ASKED FOR.

SO, I WANT TO THANK ROB, JEFFREY, TOMMY TOM TOM TYLER,

AND EVERYONE WHO INSPIRED THIS ALBUM, EVERYONE, ALL MY FRIENDS

WHO SUPPORTED ME THROUGH IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

COMING UP...

PERFORMANCES BY STEVIE WONDER, LIZZO, AND HARRY STYLES.

VIOLA DAVIS AND SHANIA TWAIN PRESENT GRAMMY AWARDS.

AND LATER, AN ALL-STAR SALUTE TO

WELCOME BACK TO THE

65th ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS, COMING TO YOU FROM THE

CRYPTO.COM ARENA, THE ONLY ARENA WITH AN ESCAPE PLAN TO THE

BAHAMAS.

NOW, WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT ONE OF THE MOST

COMPETITIVE CATEGORIES IN GRAMMY HISTORY.

OUR NOMINEES FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

AND WHO BETTER TO HELP US WITH THAT THAN THE FANS THEMSELVES?

YOU SEE, THIS WEEK THEY'VE BEEN DISCUSSING WHO DESERVES TO TAKE

HOME MUSIC'S BIGGEST PRIZE.

AND IT TURNS OUT IT'S A LOT EASIER TO HEAR WHAT THE FANS ARE

SAYING WHEN THERE AREN'T 20,000 OF THEM SCREAMING IN A STADIUM.

TAKE A LOOK.

OKAY, IT'S TIME TO TALK ALBUM

OF THE YEAR.

BEYONCE'S "RENAISSANCE" GAVE US

LOVE, JOY, DANCE.

IT GAVE US ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THESE

PAST COUPLE YEARS.

BUT IT ALSO GAVE US THE STRENGTH TO KEEP GOING.

I'M ALICIA, AND YOU KNOW "RENAISSANCE" IS ALBUM OF THE

YEAR.

YOU PUT THIS SONG ON!

YEAH!

THESE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS OF MY LIFE HAVE NOT BEEN EASY.

"RENAISSANCE" JUST GIVES ME THAT MOTIVATION TO KEEP GOING.

I FELT LIKE BEYONCE WROTE THE SONG "CHURCH GIRL" SPECIFICALLY

FOR ME.

IT JUST SPEAKS TO THE DUALITY OF BEING MORE THAN ONE THING.

YOU CAN BE SPIRITUAL, BUT YOU ALSO NEED TO TURN UP.

SHE'S NOT TELLING US WHAT'S OUT THERE.

SHE'S SETTING THE TRENDS AND TELLING US WHAT NEEDS TO BE OUT

THERE.

AND THAT IS JOY, THAT IS HAPPY AES.

LIKE, YOU PUT THAT ALBUM ON FRONT TO BACK, NO SKIPS.

YOU GET UP, YOU DANCE.

COME ON... YOU WON'T BREAK MY SOUL

THAT'S WHAT WE NEED.

I TRULY DON'T EVEN THINK THERE IS EVEN AN ARGUMENT

BECAUSE BAD BUNNY IS THE MOST STREAMED ALBUM OF THE YEAR ON

THE GLOBE.

HI, I'M NATALIA.

THE ALBUM BY BAD BUNNY IS THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT "BENITO."

I LOVE THAT HE'S PLAYFUL.

I LOVE THAT HE'S GOOFY.

HE HAS A MOTTO THAT IS...

WHICH MEANS, I DO WHATEVER I WANT, I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE

THINK.

HE DRESSES UP IN DRAG.

HE KISSES HIS BACKUP DANCERS OF ANY GENDER.

DISMANTLING MACHISMO.

AS A QUEER LATINO WOMAN THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE HE IS

STARTING CONVERSATIONS AND NORMALIZING INCLUSIVITY.

BAD BUNNY PLAYS BY HIS OWN RULES, AND HE'S JUST OPENING UP

THE DIALOGUE.

THIS ALBUM IS BREAKING SO MANY RECORDS.

AND IT'S JUST SHOWING THE WORLD JUST THE POWER OF

SPANISH-SPEAKING MUSIC.

HE IS BEING HIMSELF, AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE RESONATING WITH HIM.

HE IS THE MOST STREAMED ARTIST ON THE GLOBE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE DOES, HARRY!

BUT BAD BUNNY DOES IT BETTER.

I LOVE BAD BUNNY ALSO.

BUT GUESS WHERE HE WAS LAST NIGHT?

AT HARRY STYLES' CONCERT.

MY NAME IS REINA, AND HARRY'S HOUSE BY HARRY STYLES IS THE

ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

SO MY 78-YEAR-OLD GRANDMOTHER HAPPENS TO BE HARRY STYLES'

NUMBER ONE FAN.

SO WE ARE FLYING TO LOS ANGELES TO SEE HIM IN CONCERT.

LET ME TELL YOU WHY I LIKE HARRY STYLES.

ASIDE FROM BEING GOOD-LOOKING, WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT

THAT.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM.

I LIKE HIS OUTLOOK, HIS SONGS.

AND WITH HARRY, HE HAS THAT THING THAT DRAWS PEOPLE TO HIM.

IF THE GRAMMYS DID THEIR JOB, HE IS GETTING THAT AWARD.

ALL RIGHT, THIS IS IT.

EVERYBODY'S STILL COMING IN.

COME ON THROUGH, Y'ALL.

LET'S GET THE PEOPLE IN.

WE'LL GET EVERYBODY TO THEIR SEATS.

THIS IS LIVE.

THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING.

ARTISTS ARE COMING IN.

TRAFFIC IS HOLDING PEOPLE BACK.

I'M HERE WITH SOME OF THE FANS.

GIVE IT UP FOR THE FANS, EVERYBODY.

GIVE IT UP FOR ALL THE FANS JOINING US HERE,

SUPPORTING THEIR ARTISTS FOR

ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

REINA, YOU MUST BE REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE HARRY JUST WON

THE FIRST AWARD OF THE NIGHT.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

EXCITED.

I'VE BEEN CRYING.

I FEEL LIKE IF YOU HAD YOUR WAY, HE WOULD WIN ALL

THE AWARDS.

EXACTLY.

EVERY SINGLE ONE?

ON SO YOU WOULDN'T FULFILL HIM LOSING TWO OR THREE JUST FOR

SOMEBODY ELSE?

NO.

WOW, I THOUGHT GRANNIES WERE NICE.

LOOK, I KNOW THIS IS AN AMAZING

PLACE TO BE.

IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME THE GRAMMYS, YOU'RE HERE SUPPORTING

YOUR ARTIST, EVERYBODY'S EXCITED.

HARRY'S SITTING CLOSE, BUT I NEED YOU TO STAY RIGHT HERE.

I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO TACKLE A DWGRANNY ON LIVE TV AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT.

IT'S TIME FOR US TO GET BACK TO THE AWARDS TO PRESENT THE GRAMMY

FOR BEST R&B SONG.

AN ICON WHO WON A GRAMMY EARLIER TODAY, WHICH MEANS SHE'S

OFFICIALLY AN EGOT.

VIOLA DAVIS.

THANK YOU!

I'M GRATEFUL.

WHAT A NIGHT.

"R&B IS NOT A FAD, IT'S THE TRUTH."

THOSE WERE THE WORDS OF A SOULFUL QUEEN WHO KNEW WHAT SHE

WAS TALKING ABOUT... THE GREAT ARETHA FRANKLIN.

HERE ARE FIVE ALBUMS THAT PROVE

THOSE WORDS ARE STILL TRUE.

THESE ARE THE NOMINEES FOR BEST R&B SONG...

"CUFF IT."

"GOOD MORNING GORGEOUS."

"HRS & HRS."

"HURT ME SO GOOD."

"PLEASE DON'T WALK AWAY."

AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO... "CUFF IT."

BEYONCE, THANKS, Y'ALL.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

SO, FOR REAL, BEYONCE IS ON HER WAY.

BUT YOU KNOW THE UPSIDE OF HOSTING THE GRAMMYS IN L.A. IS

THAT EVERYOE CAN BE HERE.

THE DOWNSIDE OF HOSTING IN L.A. IS THE TRAFFIC.

BEYONCE IS ON HER WAY.

AND JUST FOR REFERENCE... HOW ARE YOU?

CONGRATULATIONS.

JUST FOR REFERENCE, BEYONCE HAS NOW EQUALLED THE RECORD FOR MOST

GRAMMYS OF AN INDIVIDUAL OF ALL TIME.

THIS IS IT.

NOW THIS HAS BEEN AMAZING, CONGRATULATIONS.

NILES, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING.

THE LEGEND, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

UM, WHEN I GOT CALLED TO PLAY

ON THIS SONG, IT WAS THE MOST ORGANIC THING THAT EVER HAPPENED

TO ME.

I HEARD THIS SONG, AND I JUST SAID, I WANT TO... ALL RIGHT,

ROCK... I SAID I WANT TO PLAY ON THAT RIGHT NOW.

AND IT WAS ONE TAKE.

I PROMISE.

I PLAYED IT, IT WAS ONE TAKE.

I NEVER EVEN GOT... WELL, NILE, MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO THIS, MAYBE

YOU SHOULD DO THAT.

IT WAS JUST WHAT I FELT IN MY HEART.

AND I'M SO HAPPY TO BE WORKING WITH YOU ALL.

I MEAN...

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S NOTHING CHARMING ABOUT HAVING TO LOOK THRILLED THAT

NO, I'VE ALWAYS FELT CONNECTED

TO THE GRAMMYS BECAUSE I WAS RAISED IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS.

MY DAD PRODUCED JAZZ CONCERTS IN THE GREATS OF THE DAY WERE

FAMILY FRIENDS AND MY UNCLE MILT GABLER PRODUCED RECORDS

FROM "STRANGE FRUIT" TO "ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK."

AN AMAZING GUY AND A MENTOR TO ME.

SO I ALWAYS CHERISH MY TIME HERE.

WHEN I WAS HERE I GOT TO THANK MYLES DAVIS FOR SKETCHES OF

SPAIN, TO SIT WITH DIZZY GILLESPIE IN MY DRESSING ROOM.

AND I EVEN GOT TO SHAKE THE MAN OF VLADIMIR HOROWITZ.

ENOUGH, WE'RE ABOUT TO MAKE A BRAND NEW ONE.

ARTISTS AND LIFELONG FRIENDS WHO BROUGHT THE MIRACLE OF MOTOWN TO

WHEN I AUDITIONED TO BE ONE OF LIZZO'S "BIG GIRL DANCERS,"

AND LATER, A SPECIAL ALL-STAR PERFORMANCE BY DJ KHALED AND

JAY-Z.

TO PRESENT THE GRAMMY FOR BEST RAP ALBUM,

GRAMMY WINNER CARDI B!

HI.

THIS YEAR WE'RE CELEBRATING THE FIRST 50 YEARS OF HIP-HOP.

HERE ARE SOME ARTISTS WHO ARE GOING TO HELP KEEP THE NEXT

50 JUST AS INTERESTING.

THESE ARE THE EXCELLENT NOMINEES FOR BEST RAP ALBUM.

"GOD DID," DJ KHALED.

"I NEVER LIKED YOU," FUTURE.

"COME HOME THE KIDS MISS YOU,"

JACK HARLOW.

"MR. MORALE & THE BIG STEPPERS," KENDRICK LAMAR.

"IT'S ALMOST DRY," PUSHA T.

OH, SNAP!

AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO... I'M SCARED.

KENDRICK LAMAR!

THEY GOT CUTE AS HECK WITH THESE TABLES.

GOT THE WINE.

I LIKE IT.

NO, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WANT TO THANK MY FAMILY FOR GIVING ME

THE COURAGE, YOU KNOW, AND THE VULNERABILITY TO SHARE THESE

STORIES AND SHARE MY TRUTH WITH THIS ALBUM.

THAT'S FIRST AND FOREMOST.

I WANT TO THANK...

THAT'S RIGHT.

I WANT TO THANK MY FANS FOR TRUSTING ME WITH THESE WORDS,

YOU KNOW?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, AS ARTISTS, WE ALL SAY THINGS TO PROVOKE THOUGHTS AND

FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS.

SO MAKING THIS RECORD... THIS IS ONE OF MY TOUGHEST RECORDS TO

MAKE.

AND IT ALLOWED ME TO DO THAT AND ALLOWED ME TO SHARE OTHER

PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES.

GOING BACK AND THINKING BACK WHERE I STARTED WITH RAPPING,

HOW FAR I CAME, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CULTURE FOR ALLOWING

ME TO EVOLVE IN ORDER TO MAKE A SONG.

LIKE "MOTHER I'M SOBER."

THAT'S SPECIAL TO ME.

THE BIGGEST UNDERGROUND ARTISTS OF ALL TIME, AND I FINALLY FOUND

IMPERFECTION WITH THIS.

SO I APPRECIATE Y'ALL, I LOVE Y'ALL.

CONGRATULATIONS TO

KENDRICK LAMAR.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, MUSIC IS MADE UP OF FOUR KEY

ELEMENTS.

RHYTHM, BEATS, MELODY, AND HARMONY.

AND I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THAT LAST ONE A LOT THIS PAST

YEAR, HARMONY.

DIFFERENT NOTES COMING TOGETHER IN A MOMENT TO MAKE SOMETHING

MORE BEAUTIFUL.

SO MUCH DIVIDES US RIGHT NOW, BUT MUSIC IS ABOUT UNITING US

THROUGH OUR DIFFERENCES.

IT'S BLACK KIDS AND WHITE KIDS REJECTING SEGREGATION IN THE

1950s, AND INSTEAD BLENDING R&B, COUNTRY, AND EVEN GOSPEL INTO

ROCK AND ROLL.

IN THE 1980s, A YOUNG BLACK RAPPER FROM QUEENS AND A JEWISH

WHITE KID IN HIS NYU DORM CAME TOGETHER TO MAKE SOME OF THE

GREATEST HIP-HOP OF ALL TIME.

THEY MADE A POWERFUL NEW SOUND TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY WERE

DIFFERENT.

YOU SEE, MUSIC ISN'T JUST THE HARMONY OF SOUND, IT'S THE

HARMONY OF HUMAN BEINGS, OF DIFFERENT RACES, GENDERS,

RELIGIONS, IDENTITIES, SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS, KNOWING WE'RE

DIFFERENT BUT REJECTING DIVISION TO FIND MOMENTS OF JOY AND UNITY

AND HARMONY.

AND THAT'S WHAT MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CELEBRATING HERE TONIGHT.

NOW, WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A

MOMENT TO REMEMBER SOME OF THE GREAT PEOPLE IN MUSIC WE LOST

THIS YEAR AND REFLECT ON ALL OF THE LIGHT THEY BROUGHT INTO OUR

LIVES.

WELL I WAS BORN A COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER

IN A CABIN ON A HILL IN BUTCHER HOLLER

WE WERE POOR BUT WE HAD LOVE

THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT DADDY MADE SURE OF

HE SHOVELED COAL TO MAKE A POOR MAN'S DOLLAR

MY DADDY WORKED ALL NIGHT IN THE VAN LEAR COAL MINES

THE WORK WE DONE WAS HARD AT NIGHT WE'D SLEEP

'CAUSE WE WERE TIRED NEVER THOUGHT

UP NEXT... SAM SMITH AND KIM PETRAS ARE

ABOUT TO PERFORM "UNHOLY."

WELCOME BACK TO THE 65th ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS.

NOW, THIS IS TRULY EXCITING.

LATER TONIGHT RIGHT OUTSIDE THE ARENA ON THE STREETS OF L.A., DJ

KHALED WILL BE PERFORMING HIS GRAMMY-NOMINATED TRACK "GOD

DID," FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.

AND, GET THIS, HE'LL BE JOINED BY RICK ROSS, FRIDAYY, LIL

WAYNE, JOHN LEGEND, AND THE BIG HOMIE HIMSELF, JAY-Z.

THEY WILL ALL BE OUT HERE TOGETHER LATER ON IN THE SHOW.

AND I'VE SEEN THE REHEARSAL.

TRUST ME, YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS.

NOW, TONIGHT WE'RE NOT JUST CELEBRATING MUSIC'S BIGGEST

STARS.

WE'RE ALSO CELEBRATING MUSIC'S BIGGEST FANS.

AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE STALKER ONES.

ONE LEVEL BELOW THAT.

SO IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT SOME MORE OF THE

NOMINEES FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

ALL RIGHT, Y'ALL, SO LIZZO DESERVES ALBUM OF THE YEAR

BECAUSE OF HER ALBUM "SPECIAL."

HAVE YOU TRIED HER DANCE?

I DID.

YOU WANNA SEE IT?

BODY IMAGE IN GENERAL IS YOUR BODY'S IMAGE.

YOU NEED TO LOVE AND ACCEPT IT.

AND SO SHE JUST GAVE ME LIKE THE CONFIDENCE BOOST.

LIKE WHEN I'M GETTING DRESSED OR READY TO GO OUT, SHE IS EXACTLY

WHO I TURN ON.

EVERY OTHER ARTIST TRIES TO FIGURE OUT THE ALGORITHM OF HOW

TO GO VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

BUT LIZZO DOES IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN, AND SHE DOES IT EXACTLY

ON THIS ALBUM.

PERIOD, THAT'S WHY SHE DESERVES ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

AL I'M SAYING IS ADELE DOESN'T NEED A DANCE TO GO VIRAL

ON TIKTOK.

MY NAME'S COLYN, AND "30" DEFINITELY DESERVES ALBUM OF THE

YEAR.

I SAW HER RESIDENCY OVER WINTER BREAK.

IT WAS THE BEST SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN.

SHE'LL GO UP THERE AND BELT TO THIS SUPER SONG SAD THAT'LL HAVE

YOU TRY CRYING.

AND AS SOON AS THE SONG'S OVER, YOU'RE STILL WIPING YOUR TEARS

AND SHE'LL START CUSSING AND CRACKING JOKES AND HAVING YOU

LAUGHED.

SHE RANDOMLY DM'd ME AND SAID SHE LOVED THAT I WAS A FAN, SHE

INVITED ME OUT TO L.A. FOR HER MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE.

WHEN I MET HER, IT JUST FELT LIKE WE HAD KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR

YEARS.

I WISH YOU GUYS LUCK.

BUT ADELE HAS BEEN NOMINATED 18

TIMES AND WON 15 OF THOSE 18.

SO THAT'S HER ALBUM OF THE YEAR RIGHT THERE.

I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.

BRANDI CARLILE'S ALBUM "IN

THESE SILENT DAYS" IS IN THE GENERAL CATEGORY, IT'S IN ROCK,

IT'S IN AMERICAN ROOTS, AND IT'S AMERICANA.

IT EMULATES SO MANY DIFFERENT EMOTIONS.

I'M ADRIANA, AND "IN THESE SILENT DAYS" BY BRANDI CARLILE

IS HANDS DOWN ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

WHEN I FIRST SAW BRANDI CARLILE,

I AS JUST LEAVING MORMONISM AND REALLY TRYING TO DISCOVER WHO I

WAS.

I FELT LIKE SHE UNDERSTOOD WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH IN THAT

MOMENT.

IT REALLY JUST ENVELOPED MY SOUL.

I'VE SEEN HER 32 TIMES IN 15 YEARS.

SHE'S TAKING HER SONGWRITING UP TO THAT ICONIC LEVEL AND ALWAYS

REMAINS TRUE TO HERSELF.

AND THAT EMPOWERS US TO REMAIN TRUE TO OURSELVES.

WHAT SHE'S DONE FOR THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY HAS BEEN SO INCREDIBLY

IMPORTANT TO ME.

IT'S BROUGHT ME INTO MY AUTHENTIC SELF.

THE JOURNEY OF SELF-EXPRESSION AND

AND WHEN YOU FEEL ALONE, IT TAKES US ALL TO A PLACE THAT WE

NEED, ALL OF US AT THIS TABLE.

THIS NEXT PRESENTER

IS ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED AND ENDURING STARS IN THE HISTORY OF

POPULAR MUSIC.

AND AFTER FOUR DECADES OF HIT SONGS, SHE'S ABOUT TO HEAD OFF

ON HER 40th ANNIVERSARY "CELEBRATION" TOUR.

EVERYBODY, PLEASE WELCOME THE LONGEST-REINING QUEEN ON EARTH,

MADONNA!

ARE YOU READY FOR A LITTLE CONTROVERSY?

COME ON, PEOPLE, LET'S MAKE SOME

NOISE!

Y'ALL ARE GOING TO SLEEP OVER

HERE.

SO, HERE'S WHAT I'VE LEARNED AFTER FOUR DECADES IN MUSIC.

IF THEY CALL YOU SHOCKING, SCANDALOUS, TROUBLESOME,

PROBLEMATIC, PROVOCATIVE, OR DANGEROUS, YOU ARE DEFINITELY

ONTO SOMETHING.

THAT'S WHERE YOU MAKE NOISE.

YEAH, THANK YOU.

SO, I'M HERE TO GIVE THANKS TO ALL THE REBELS OUT THERE FORGING

A NEW PATH AND TAKING THE HEAT FOR ALL OF IT.

YOU GUYS NEED TO KNOW, ALL YOU TROUBLEMAKERS OUT THERE, YOU

NEED TO KNOW THAT YOUR FEARLESSNESS DOES NOT GO

UNNOTICED.

YOU ARE SEEN, YOU ARE HEARD, AND, MOST OF ALL, YOU ARE

APPRECIATED.

SO NOW, SPEAKING OF CONTROVERSY,

IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE TWO INCREDIBLY

TALENTED ARTISTS WHO HAVE RISEN ABOVE THE NOISE, THE DOUBT, THE

CRITICS INTO SOMETHING BEAUTIFULLY UNHOLY.

YEAH.

I DID NOT EXPECT THAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU.

WHAT'S UP, BRO?

YEAH, YEAH.

I'M EXTREMELY MOVED BY THIS AWARD.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE RECORDING ACADEMY AND THE BLACK

MUSICIVE COLLECTIVE FOR THIS HONOR.

I KNOW EVERYBODY IN HERE PROBABLY KNOWS THIS ALREADY, BUT

THIS IS THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF HIP-HOP.

MAKE SOME NOISE FOR HIP-HOP.

YEAH.

AND WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT IT?

WHERE WOULD A LOT OF PEOPLE IN HERE BE WITHOUT IT TO BE HONEST?

HIP-HOP BECAME A LIFE LINE FOR ME AS A TEENAGER GROWING UP IN

COMPTON.

AND IT STARTED WITH A SONG CALLED "THE ADVENTURES OF

GRANDMASTER FLASH ON THE WHEELS OF STEEL."

SCRATCHING AND MIXING ON THE TURN TABLES HAD ME HOOKED AND

BECAME THE ENTRY POINT OF A 40-YEAR CAREER OF DOING

SOMETHING THAT I REALLY LOVE.

WHAT UP, AP?

YEAH.

AND MUCH OF WHAT I LOVE IS INVOLVED WITH COLLABORATION,

ASSEMBLING A TEAM OF TALENTED ARTISTS, ENGINEERS AND MUSICIANS

WITH GIFTS DIFFERENT FROM MINE AND WHO SHINE IN WAYS THAT I

DON'T HAS BEEN BOTH INSPIRING AND CRUCIAL TO MY SUCCESS.

AND I'M EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE COMPRISED

THEIR TEAM OVER THE YEARS.

AND I WOULD NOT BE HERE ACCEPTING THIS AWARD WITHOUT

THEIR CONTRIBUTION.

YES.

I'M ALSO THANKFUL TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BY MY SIDE,

OFTEN THROUGH THE DIFFICULT MOMENTS IN MY LIFE THAT CAUSED

ME TO GET TO THIS POINT IN MY LIFE, YOU KNOW.

INSPIRATION IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE WORDS, AND AS A

CREATIVE, IT'S WHAT I'M ALWAYS IN SEARCH OF, AND I HOPE TO

LEAVE BEHIND LONG AFTER I'M GONE.

SO, WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS AWARD IS THAT IT USES MY NAME TO

INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF PRODUCERS, ARTISTS, AND

ENTREPRENEURS TO REACH FOR THEIR GREATNESS AND DEMAND THAT FROM

EVERYBODY AROUND YOU.

AND NEVER COMPROMISE YOUR VISION

AT ALL.

PURSUE QUALITY OVER QUANTITY.

AND REMEMBER THAT EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT.

THAT IS ONE OF MY MOTTOS, EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

APPRECIATE IT.

CONGRATULATIONS, DR. DRE!

IT IS SO FITTING THAT DR. DRE SHOULD WIN THIS AWARD IN A YEAR

THAT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THE CULTURE.

SINCE 2023 MARKS THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF HIP-HOP.

NOW, PARAMOUNT GLOBAL WILL BE

CELEBRATING THIS ANNIVERSARY ALL YEAR LONG.

AND WE'RE KICKING IT OFF TONIGHT ON CBS RIGHT HERE THE GRAMMYS.

ALL RIGHT.

AND I'M PROUD TO BE A PART OF THE HIP-HOP FAMILY, WHETHER

THEY'RE IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT OR NOT.

AND WE'RE GOING TO ROCK THE BELLS FOR THE 50th ANNIVERSARY

OF HIP-HOP.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

NOW, LOOK, WORKING CLOSELY WITH

ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED AND TALENTED GROUPS IN THE WORLD,

THE ROOTS, QUESTLOVE HAS CURATED SOMETHING SPECTACULAR.

A FLASH FORWARD THROUGH A HALF-CENTURY OF ONE OF THE

GREATEST ONGOING MUSICAL STORIES EVER TOLD.

IT'S A STORY THAT ALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 11, 1973, WHEN DJ WAS AT

A PARTY IN THE BRONX AND PLAYED THE BREAK BEATS THAT KICKSTARTED

A GLOBAL MUSICAL REVOLUTION.

NOW, WE WISH WE COULD HAVE INCLUDED EVERY SINGLE HIP-HOP

ARTIST FROM 1973 TO 2023.

I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW.

BUT THAT'S TO BE CONTINUED AT A LATER DATE AND TIME.

ALL RIGHT?

HERE TO GET OUR STORY STARTED, MY BROTHER BLACK THOUGHT!

FIFTY YEARS AGO IN THE BRONX, NEW YORK, A STREET PRINCESS WAS

BORN TO BE AN ICON.

THE ARTFORM TOOK THE ENTIRE WORLD BY STORM.

HOW SHE WOULD DO IT?

THROUGH INFLUENCE.

CONSTANTLY RAISING THE STAKES EACH GENERATION.

DOMINATION BY WHATEVER MEANS IT TAKES.

SO, FROM A SPARK INTO A FLAME THAT BECAME PUBLIC DOMAIN.

AND SHE REFERS TO BE REFERRED TO BY HER FULL GOVERNMENT NAME.

EVERYBODY WAS BREAKIN' THE HIGHS WERE SCREAMIN'

AND THE BASS WAS SHAKIN' AND IT WON'T BE LONG

DONATES THEIR BELOVED ORGANS TO HELP ANOTHER PERSON LIVE.

AND THIS STORY WAS SO SIMPLE AND SO BEAUTIFUL FOR THESE TIMES,

INSPIRATION FOR THE MUSIC FOR THIS SONG, AND TELLING A STORY

FROM THE INSIDE.

THERE'S ALL THESE SONGS THAT ARE ABOUT LOVING OUR BODIES AND

FEELING COMFORTABLE IN OUR SKIN AND FEELING GOOD!

OF... I'D LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT NOT ONLY CAN PEOPLE DO GOOD, BUT

WE JUST ARE GOOD.

WE ARE GOOD INHERENTLY.

AND ANYBODY AT HOME WHO FEELS MISUNDERSTOOD OR ON THE OUTSIDE

LOOKING IN, LIKE I DID, JUST STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF, BECAUSE I

PROMISE YOU, YOU WILL FIND PEOPLE, YOU WILL ATTRACT PEOPLE

ICON AWARD THIS YEAR GOES TO THE PHENOMENAL CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF

AND JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT I COULD NOT FEEL ANY MORE HONORED,

I GET TO INTRODUCE THE BOSS WHO DOES MY PERFORMANCE REVIEW...

THE CEO OF THE RECORDING ACADEMY, HARVEY MASON JR.

JUST THINK FOR A MINUTE ABOUT THE POWER OF MUSIC.

LET'S DREAM.

THERE MUST BE LIGHT BURNING

BRIGHTER SOMEWHERE GOT TO BE BIRDS FLYING HIGHER

IN THE SKY IF I CAN DREAM

MUSIC PEOPLE FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD FROM ALL DIFFERENT

GENRES CAME TOGETHER ON THE SAME STAGE TO CELEBRATE THE

FIRST-EVER GLOBAL GRAMMYS SHOW.

OH, WHY CAN'T MY DREAM COME TRUE

OH, WHY CAN'T MY DREAM COME TRUE

AFTER THE SONG GAINED WORLDWIDE ATTENTION, GOVERNMENTS

ACROSS THE GLOBE CHANGED POLICIES TO SUPPORT WOMEN'S

RIGHTS.

THERE MUST BE PEACE UNDERSTANDING SOMETIMES

THOSE AREN'T REAL HEADLINES, BUT THEY COULD BE.

MUSIC IS POWERFUL.

IT MOVES THE WORLD.

IT HEALS AND IT UNITES.

I'M HARVEY MASON JR., SONGWRITER, PRODUCER, AND CEO OF

THE RECORDING ACADEMY.

AND I'M PROUD TO WORK FOR AN ORGANIZATION WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE

IS TO SERVE MUSIC, AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT.

WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO CELEBRATE OUR YEAR IN MUSIC.

BUT I ASK THAT YOU JOIN US THE OTHER 364 DAYS OF THE YEAR AS WE

SUPPORT MUSIC PEOPLE THROUGH MUSICARES AS WE HELP EDUCATE THE

NEXT GENERATION OF MUSICIANS THROUGH OUR GRAMMY MUSEUMS.

AND AS WE ADVOCATE FOR THE ISSUES THAT MATTER MOST TO OUR

MUSIC COMMUNITY.

THIS IS WHY WE EXIST.

IF WE CAN DREAM IT, WE CAN ACCOMPLISH IT TOGETHER, THROUGH

MUSIC.

THIS IS THE GRAMMYS, AND WE ARE THE ACADEMY.

OH, WHY CAN'T MY DREAM COME TRUE

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

THAT, HARVEY.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR IS STILL COMING UP.

AND, REMEMBER, NOBODY KNOWS WHO'S GOING TO WIN THIS THING.

BECAUSE UNLIKE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, THE GRAMMYS KEEPS

ITS CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CLASSIFIED.

BUT BEFORE THAT FOR THE LAST

TIME LET'S HEAR AGAIN FROM OUR NOMINEES BIGGEST FANS.

IN 20 YEARS SINCE A RAP ALBUM HAS WON, AND I THINK KENDRICK

CAN TAKE IT HOME.

MY NAME IS JENN.

I'VE BEEN A DAY ONE KENDRICK FAN.

I WAS AT HIS VERY FIRST CONCERT IN DALLAS IN A LITTLE BITTY

CLUB.

IN 2017 I HAD A GoFundMe SET UP TO EARN MONEY TO GET A NEW

ACCESSIBLE VEHICLE.

KENDRICK LAMAR FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AND DECIDED TO SURPRISE ME.

AND HE BOUGHT ME A BRAND-NEW VAN.

I CAN RELATE TO HIS REALNESS AND HIS SPIRITUALITY, KIND OF HIS

OUTLOOK ON THE WORLD.

AND HE'S VULNERABLE IN HIS MUSIC.

HIS MUSICIANSHIP IS JUST AMAZING, AND IT'S CHANGED

HIP-HOP.

WITH EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON, WE WANTED SOMEBODY THAT

COULD COME AND LIFT OUR SPIRITS, MAKE US FEEL LIKE WE COULD KEEP

GOING.

SO I THINK THAT'S WHY IT SHOULD BE ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

SO ABBA DESERVES TO WIN ALBUM OF THE YEAR THE MOST.

BECAUSE AFTER 40 WHOLE YEARS OF NOT RELEASING MUSIC, THEY

RELEASED THEIR ALBUM "VOYAGE."

HI, MY NAME IS COLE, AND I AM 1,000 PERCENT OBSESSED WITH

ABBA.

THE CHRISTMAS OF 2018 MY HOUSE BURNT DOWN.

IT REALLY BROUGHT ME INTO A DEEP DEPRESSION.

AND I REALLY COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE DEPRESSION UNTIL AN

OPPORTUNITY AROSE THAT SUMMER TO PERFORM "MAMA MIA" IN SANTA

ROSA, CALIFORNIA, WHICH WAS THE BEST SUMMER OF MY LIFE.

ABBA TRANSFORMED ME.

ABBA EMBODIES HAPPINESS.

THIS ALBUM HAS A MATURITY THAT ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRULY LIVED

CAN CREATE.

SO YOU FEEL LIKE THIS THE ONE?

I HAVE GOOD VIBES.

I HAVE GOOD VIBES COMING IN.

WITH MUSIC OF THE SPHERES AND WHY I THINK IT DESERVES ALBUM OF

THE YEAR, IT'S SO UPLIFTING AND SO POSITIVE THAT YOU WANT TO

CRY.

I'VE ALWAYS CONNECTED TO

COLDPLAY BECAUSE, GROWING UP IN JUST SUCH A BIG FAMILY, I DIDN'T

REALLY FEEL LIKE A LOT OF THINGS WERE MINE.

COLDPLAY FELT LIKE THE FIRST THING THAT FELT LIKE MY OWN.

I HAD JUST GONE THROUGH A BREAKUP, JUST FELT A LITTLE LOST

AND DIRECTIONLESS.

COLDPLAY WAS COMING TO TOWN.

MY SISTER JORDAN, SHE WAS, LIKE, JOEY, YOU NEED THIS FOR YOUR

SOUL, LET'S GO.

SO I WENT TO THE COLDPLAY CONCERT TONIGHT.

I WAS LISTENING TO THE LYRICS, AND CHRIS MARTIN BECAME MY

THERAPIST.

IT WAS JUST, LIKE, PROBABLY THE BEST CONCERT I'VE EVER BEEN TO.

WHEN I LISTEN TO "MUSIC OF THE SPHERES," I KIND OF IMAGINE IT

AS LIKE A COSMIC HUG FROM THE UNIVERSE SAYING, LIKE, IT'S

GOING TO BE OKAY.

ALSO, CHRIS MARTIN IS THIS SWEET BABY ANGEL AND HE HAS TO BE

PROTECTED AT ALL TIMES.

THAT'S IT FOR, YEAH.

MARY J. BLIGE, QUEEN OF SOUL HIP-HOP AND R&B.

SHE HAS BEEN IN THIS JOURNEY FOR 30 YEARS.

AND TO NOW BE AT A PLACE WHERE WE HAVE ALL BEEN THROUGH

SOMETHING, WE CAN ALL STILL WAKE UP AND FEEL LIKE THE WORLD NEEDS

US, SO WE'VE GOT TO FIND OUR PEACE, LIKE SHE SAYS, ALBUM OF

THE YEAR, BRING IT HERE.

TELL MYSELF GOOD MORNING GORGEOUS

WHEN I WAS IN THIRD GRADE IS WHEN I BECAME A FAN OF MARY J.

BLIGE.

I RELATED SO MUCH TO HER PASSION, TO HER SOUL.

WE'VE BEEN THERE THROUGH IT ALL WITH HER, THE UPS, THE DOWNS,

THE GOOD AND THE BAD.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH, YOU FEEL LIKE MARY GOT

YOUR BACK.

DON'T FORGET WE STILL

HAVE DJ KHALED, AND OTHER PERFORMANCES TO COME.

BUT FIRST STEVE LACY EARNED THREE NOMINATIONS FOR ONE OF THE

BIGGEST HITS OF THE YEAR FOR HIS SONG "BAD HABIT."

THE SONG WENT FROM NUMBER ONE AND HAS BECOME AN ANTHEM ALL

OVER THE WORLD.

JOINED BY THUNDERCAT.
