Nella notte tra il 10 e l’11 Febbraio allo Staples Center di Los Angeles si sono svolti i Grammy Awards. Gli Oscar che celebrano la musica pop in tutte le sue forme e sfumature, nell’edizione di quest’anno, hanno fotografato una geografia musicale molto particolare. Tra canti, balli e sfilate sul red carpet, ai Grammy Awards la vera trionfatrice è Lady Gaga. Per la cantante in corsa agli Oscar con A Star Is Born è un momento che resterà negli annales.
Lady Germanotta infatti si porta a casa ben 4 vittorie, 3 per Shallow e la sua performance nel film di Bradley Cooper e per l’album Joanne. Per il resto poche le sorprese al livello di Awards. L’asso pigliatutto è stato Danald Glover che ha vinto in 4 categorie tra cui quello di Artista dell’anno; Dua Lipa ha conquistato il premio come Best New Artist e Kasey Musgravers ha vinto come Miglior Album. Tante le presentatrici d’eccezione. Sul palco si sono avvicendate Jennifer Lopez e Michelle Obama, leder indiscussa del black power nell’America di Trump.
