It was, in general, a perfect masterclass on how to host an awards show.<\/span><\/p>\n SZA’s Sword Fighting Is Truly Epic<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n For her performance of her hit single, “Kill Bill,” SZA brought out some sword-wielding dancers and stunt performers for a wild, blade-spinning routine that saw one leather-clad ninja twirling a samurai sword on a table in the audience, just <\/span>inches away from a delighted, exhilarated\u00a0Phoebe Bridgers.<\/a><\/p>\n Billie Eilish Brings Emotion to the Stage<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n For her performance of “What Was I Made For?,” Billie Eilish was joined by her brother,\u00a0<\/span>FINNEAS<\/a>, on the piano, and she belted out an emotional rendition of the <\/span>Barbie<\/span><\/em> soundtrack tune.\u00a0Eilish, who wore a green plaid coat, a green dress and a pink head scarf, sat on a stool as she sang, and the simple act of removing her glasses and singing her powerful song directly into camera provided one of the night’s most moving moments.<\/span><\/p>\n Miley Cyrus Raises the Bar for Celebrating<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n After Miley Cyrus won her first-ever GRAMMY for “Flowers” — and used her acceptance speech to adorably fangirl over presenter Mariah Carey — she took to the stage to perform her single and delivered a lively rendition in which she proved she was singing live by stopping halfway through to bask in the glory of her GRAMMY win. It showed once again how exciting and unpredictable Cyrus can be.<\/span><\/p>\n Olivia Rodrigo Has a Bloody Good Time<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Olivia Rodrigo brings all her singing and acting talent to every live performance she gives, and her set at this year’s GRAMMYs was no exception. Belting out her powerful and emotional tune, “Vampire,” the young songstress made things memorable — first with some stage blood running down her arm, and then, as the song built, with blood oozing and flowing out from the walls. It was <\/span>a delicate yet enthralling performance<\/a> that got everyone — from Taylor Swift to Kelly Clarkson — on their feet and dancing.<\/span><\/p>\n Taylor Swift Shares Big News<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n After the 34-year-old old singer won the Best Pop Vocal Album award for\u00a0<\/span>Midnights<\/span><\/em>, she delighted her fans by revealing that her next album,\u00a0<\/span>The Tortured Poets Department<\/span><\/em>, will be available April 19.

The songstress’ candid acceptance speech was a reminder of how the recognition of an awards show can mean so much to artists who have sacrificed so much to pursue their dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n Billy Joel Returns for the First Time in Decades<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The <\/span>74-year-old singer delighted the crowd<\/a> by performing at the GRAMMYs ceremony for the first time in more than two decades. Seated behind his piano,\u00a0the music icon flawlessly belted out his new single,\u00a0“Turn the Lights Back On,” his first official new single since 2007. Joel also performed his hit\u00a0“You May Be Right,” and earned a standing ovation from a thrilled audience.<\/span><\/p>\n Taylor Swift Makes History to Close the Show<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Swift became the only person in GRAMMYs history to win Album of the Year four times, and the songstress brought up Lana Del Rey and Jack Antonoff to celebrate the unbelievable win. It was a sweet, genuine surprise for the songstress, and a fun, upbeat note on which to end the nearly four-hour show.<\/span><\/p>\n The\u00a0<\/span><\/i>2024 GRAMMY Awards<\/a><\/i>\u00a0is on Sunday, Feb. 4, at 5 p.m. PT\/8 p.m. ET and being broadcast and streamed live on CBS and\u00a0<\/span><\/i>Paramount+<\/a><\/i>\u00a0from\u00a0<\/span><\/i>Crypto.com<\/a><\/i>\u00a0Arena in Los Angeles.
