Did you watch the Grammys last night? It was a LONG one. There were a lot of confusing winners. Daft Punk for Album of the Year? “Get Lucky” is a cool jam, but I felt Red should have one! See, Taylor agrees.
I thought you won too, girl! (So did your Mom and Dad!) But instead of saying Red, they said Random Access Memories, Daft Punk’s album. Bummer. Red is Taylor’s best studio album to date and she gave us an amazing piano performance last night of “All Too Well,” a song she wrote about her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal. She sounded amazing. It was my favorite moment of the night, complete with head banging, angst staring, and one gorgeous dress. See, Girls star Lena Dunham agrees.
And then there was that hot opening number with Beyonce. Blue’s mama was on fire. You can never take your eyes off Queen Bey when she performs. Bow down.
Jay-Z joined his wife on stage for “Drunk in Love” and the Grammys were off to a great start. Then, they slowed down a little bit. I kept waiting for Beyonce to perform again.
I do realize that Beyonce’s sexy number displeased a bunch of parents who had children up at 8:00 pm. I definitely would not show my kiddos that performance, or Katy Perry’s either. Katy’s was too dark and spooky, just as Beyonce’s was too sexy. But if I’m looking at the entertainment aspect, she knocked it out of the park. It’s a great song and it’s cool to see a married couple with kids get their groove on. I also thought Lorde did a great job for her first Grammy performance. I loved Robin Thicke singing “Blurred Lines” and “Saturday in the Park” with the legendary Chicago men. Carole King with Sara Bareilles was a great moment and I love her “Brave” anthem. Madonna represented with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and 34 couples were married during “Same Love.” And everyone was talking about Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar. Oh, and Pharrell’s hat.
But the night, to me, was all about Tay and Bey. Just check out their red carpet dresses. Winning!
