Review: Jay-Z spoke the truth at the Grammys. The rest of the show made it sorely obvious
LA TimesThe 66th Grammy Awards appeared to go exactly as planned Sunday, despite arriving during the biggest storm of the year. So was Billie Eilish’s performance of “What Was I Made For?,” her single from the movie “Barbie,” which won song of the year. “When I get nervous,” he acknowledged, “I tell the truth.” And, as Sunday’s Grammys proved in the end, he did: No matter what you think of Beyoncé’s work, Jay-Z underscored how difficult it’s been — historically and presently — for the Recording Academy to embrace the work of Black and female artists. Including seven of the eight nominees for album of the year: SZA’s “SOS,” Miley Cyrus’ “Endless Summer Vacation,” Lana Del Rey’s “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” “the record” by boygenius, “The Age Of Pleasure” by Janelle Monáe, “Guts” by Olivia Rodrigo and Swift’s “Midnights.” Music The 2024 Grammys winners list Grammy winners list: Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Victoria Monét, SZA and Billie Eilish led the 66th Grammy Awards. There were other moments of truth beside Jay-Z’s — Joni Mitchell’s quiet, stirring rendition of “Both Sides Now,” with the 80-year-old mother of all confessional singers accompanied by Brandi Carlile on guitar; Billy Joel unveiling his first new song in 30 years; Celine Dion, amid her struggle with stiff person syndrome, appearing to present the final award.
