Grammys 2021: Beyoncé, Taylor Swift make history
Live MintFemale performers including Beyoncé and Taylor Swift had a record-making night at the 2021 Grammy Awards, a jam-packed but socially distanced show highlighted by live music sorely absent during the pandemic era. Beyoncé walked into the show with 24 wins and picked up four honors, including best R&B performance for Black Parade, best music video for Brown Skin Girl as well as best rap performance and best rap song for Savage, with Megan Thee Stallion. Megan Thee Stallion, who won three honors, also made history and became the first female rapper to win best rap song. Country singer Mickey Guyton – the first Black woman nominated for best country solo performance – gave a top notch performance of her song Black Like Me, which she released last year as police brutality continued to devastate Black families and the coronavirus ravished Black America disproportionately.
