The 58th annual Grammy Awards were held on Monday. Here are the thoughts I had throughout the event:
- “Out Of The Woods” is actually kind of catchy, but like #TeamHarryStyles4Ever
- They must have let her go first because she is not good live
- People dancing at award shows are always awkward, why do they even bother showing them?
- LL Cool J will unite us all with a lip sync battle, this I am sure of
- Flashback to “Rolling In The Deep” just shows that Adele has always killed it
- Stephen Colbert said “LL” as if it was a nickname
- Colbert cannot even get a ticket to Hamilton!! HOW RELATABLE
- Ice Cube had a son just so he could make Straight Outta Compton and so his son could play him
- I need Kendrick Lamar to win best rap album [and every other Grammy he is up for]
- YAS KENDRICK LAMAR. YAS TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY
- If I ever won something and the music played, I would literally never stop talking
- These men look like they are in a trance by the prompter while announcing Sam Hunt and Carrie Underwood. Omg what is going on with them?
- Carrie Underwood and Sam Hunt just mesh so well together and on the carpet, she said she voted for him to win Best New Artist. S’cute
- Sam Hunt looks like he could be in a 2008 emo band with his haircut
- Oh, Ariana Grande thinks that she made the Weeknd because of that ONE song [“Love Me Harder”]
- Also, her “Earned It” pun was just a plug so she could sing on stage
- “Can’t Feel My Face” is totally about coke, but we all still jam hardcore to it like cokeheads
- The slower version of “In The Night” is the Weeknd’s way to prove he is MUCH more than a rapper
- Andra Day is so amazingly talented with such a beautiful range, I wish I had actual words
- Ellie Goulding does not have the voice to sing with her
- SPAGHETTI HAIR
- Chris Stapleton won Best Country Album and he thanked “Taylor Swift glitter bombing” omg
- I love James Corden
- Meghan Trainor, Demi Lovato, Luke Bryan, Tyrese Gibson, and John Legend are the weirdest combo
- John Legend is so cute and Lionel Richie loves his tribute thus far
- Lionel is so sweaty right now, omg someone is getting worked up
- Everyone is looking at Meghan with their fake smiles
- TYRESE AND BRICK HOUSE ARE EVERYTHING
- I just thought Robin Thicke jumped on stage, but it is actually Lionel
- Lionel is just doing his own echo right now, how cute
- Little Big Town sounds creepy and stalkerish, especially with the lightening right now
- I missed why Stevie Wonder was on stage and everyone told me he just wandered up on stage -__-
- The one kid from the Pentatonix looks like Meep from AHS
- Stevie Wonder probably cannot read the card for who wins, do you think it is in braille?
- Stevie Wonder made a blind joke! THE CARD IS IN BRAILLE
- “Thinking Out Loud” wins Song of the Year
- Is that woman with Ed Sheeran wearing a garbage bag?
- Ed Sheeran is so amazing
- Taylor Swift is a fake b*tch, crying “for Ed Sheeran,” but actually because she did not win
- People love The Eagles still?
- James Bay is honestly my favorite human being ever and I hope he wins the Best New Album of the Year
- Tori Kelly can hit the high notes and hold them for so long
- Tori and James performing together was beautiful, I almost shed a tear
- If Hamilton was not big enough and hard enough to get tickets for already, it will be almost impossible now
- Obama has seen Hamilton THREE times and I waited in a line four blocks long to win tickets in the lottery to see it. I did not win [the nerve of some presidents, amirite?]
- Kendrick has 11 nominations tonight, crazy
- Glow Paint, a HUGE bonfire, and traditional African dancers — Kendrick is KILLING this performance
- Did anyone think that Hamilton was not gonna win Best Musical?
- Best Rock Performances are dominating by the females
- Alabama Shakes wins over Foo Fighters, weird wins!
- Is Bruno Mars shirtless under his vest right now as he announces Adele?
- Adele bringing out my tears right now
- Someone just told me Diplo and Skrillex are Jack U….my mind is blown
- Skrillex on guitar is making me uncomfortable
- Justin is losing layers
- “Where Are U Now” live is quite the experience, especially with all the drums being hit
- I need James Bay to win Best New Artist
- HOW DID MEGHAN TRAINOR WIN BEST NEW ARTIST, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
- Lady Gaga and the David Bowie tribute is beautifully digital
- Alabama Shakes is so underrated and the lead singer in her white cape gown is an ANGEL
- Dave Grohl
- Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, and Joe Perry performing as the Hollywood Vampires are everything my little goth soul needs
- Side note: does anyone remember when Alice Cooper was in Dark Shadows? Well this performance reminds me of that
- Album of the Year goes to Taylor Swift, so her ego just got 10 billion times more obnoxious
- “Uptown Funk” won Record of the Year!! A jam for the ages
- Pitbul reminds me of a naked mole rat
