History,
the 2021 Grammy Awards took place on Sunday night
(3/14). Among incredible performances, tributes
and emotional speeches, the ceremony was a
milestone when it established Beyoncé as the
female artist with the most victories in the
history of the award.
Held
by the Recording Academy, the main music festival
takes place one year after the world is taken by
the pandemic of the new coronavirus. As a
reflection of the current moment, the event has
undergone many changes and some postponements
during the past few months.
However,
following the security protocols, counted on the
presence of countless stars to kill the longing
for good live performances.
Among
country, pop, R&B, rap and more, 83 awards
were given during the day. While comedian Trevor
Noah was the master of ceremonies for the main
event, Jhené Aiko, nominated in the category of
Album of the Year with “Chilombo”, commanded
the pre-show.
The
opening was in charge of Harry Styles, who
delivered an elegant presentation of “Watermelon
Sugar”, the winning track for Best Pop Solo
Performance and holder of the artist's first
Grammy.
Making
history, Beyoncé won four categories at the
Grammy 2021 and became the female artist who won
the most trophies in the history of the awards.
Before,
the record belonged to Alison Krauss with 27
victories. Thrilled, she shared a powerful speech
by winning Best R&B performance for “Black
Parade”: One of the most iconic moments of the
day was Blue Ivy's victory in the nomination for
Best Music Video for “Brown Skin Girl”.
Alongside
her mother, Beyoncé, and musicians WizKid and
SAINt JHN, the only nine-year-old diva received
her first gramophone.
Taylor
Swift was another singer who made history at the
awards. In addition to an incredible performance
alongside Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, she won
the Album of the Year category for the third time.
This time for “folklore”, an album released in
2020.
In
the speech, the artist thanked all the
contribution she received in the composition of
the songs, which were produced during the
pandemic: Among the main categories, Dua Lipa also
had his victory. For “Future Nostalgia”, the
singer won the award for Best Pop Album.
In
her speech, she confesses that the production of
the work provided a turnaround in what she thought
about her own career.

Billie
Eilish arrived at the edition after making history
in 2020. This year, in a balanced result, she won
two of the four nominations she received. He took
Best Song Composed for Visual Media for “No Time
to Die”, a track produced for the film “007:
No Time to Die” and received the last award of
the night, Record of the Year, for the intimate
“everything i wanted”.
In
the final speech, she dedicated the award to Megan
Thee Stallion. “Megan, you deserve this award,
you have had an unsurpassed year. You're a queen,
I want to cry when I think about how special you
are and you've worked for it. Let's give it up for
Megan Thee Stallion ”, asked the singer.
It
is not for less. The composer of "Body"
won three of the four nominations received. They
were: Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for
“Savage Remix”, in partnership with Beyoncé,
in addition to Breakthrough Artist.
In
addition to the victories, he also offered luxury,
talent and a lot of choreography during the
ceremony.
Despite
not competing in any nomination, Cardi B knew very
well how to make his mark. The rapper did a mashup
of "Up" with "WAP" giving a
special touch in the last one. Surprisingly, he
added Pedro Sampaio's remix to the presentation,
inserting Brazilian funk into one of the biggest
awards in the music industry.
Impeccable,
we couldn't stop talking about the first
performance of Silk Sonic, a band formed by Bruno
Mars and Anderson .Paak. Projecting indications
with the group's upcoming album in 2022, they
performed beautifully on the project's first
single, “Leave The Door Open”.
Directly
from South Korea, BTS performed the song “Dynamite”.
There, the members threw themselves into the
choreography and strolled backstage at the awards,
which they decided to recreate because they were
unable to go to the United States.
The
Grammy performance was a real explosion of energy,
colors and brilliance! Take a peek:
Lady
Gaga and Ariana Grande did not leave empty-handed,
as they took the gramophone for Best Performance
Duo or Group for "Rain On Me". The two
were competing with Justin Bieber feat. Quavo (“Intentions”),
BTS (“Dynamite”), Taylor Swift feat. Bon Iver
(“Exile”) and J Balvin, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny
and Tainy (“Un Dia”). The track was released
in May last year, integrating the album
“Chromatica“.
