The most anticipated musical show of the year, namely the Grammy Awards, gave us an evening full of emotions, surprises, and triumphs during its 66th edition held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Taylor Swift made history, taking home the coveted Album of the Year award with “Midnights,” thus achieving four wins in the same category throughout her career.
The singer won many other awards and surprisingly announced (during her speech) the imminent release of her next work, “The Tortured Poets Department,” scheduled for April 19th.
Additionally, the beginning of the evening saw Miley Cyrus win her first Grammy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance with “Flowers.” Kylie Minogue triumphed in the Best Pop Dance Performance category with her “Padam Padam,” while the legendary Beatles added another Grammy to their precious collection with the best music video for “I’m Only Sleeping.”
While waiting to know the winners of the most popular categories and all the best looks, let’s focus on the unexpected presence of Céline Dion, who despite her battle against the rare Stiff Person Syndrome, moved the audience by participating in the event to award Swift.
