For the 66th time, the Grammy Awards took place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. This year, the comedian and actor Trevor Noah presented the live show with humor and charm – he is the host for the fourth time in a row. Everyone loves his tasteful jokes, so the South African comedian was the perfect choice to guarantee an unforgettable awarding show.
The eligibility period for the nominees is from October 1, 2022, to September 15, 2023. This year, there was an explicit announcement concerning the use of AI. The Recording Academy explained that “only human creators are eligible to be submitted for consideration for, nominated for, or won a Grammy Award.”
Billie Eilish’s achievements were a testament to the academy’s decision, proving that AI can’t compete against the emotional depth from human experiences. The groundbreaking singer’s song "What Was I Made For?", co-written with her brother Finneas O-Connell for the "Barbie" soundtrack, earned six nominations and even won the coveted Best Song Written for Visual Media.
Barbie was certainly proud of the two winners because she didn't miss the live show and red carpet either:

Grammy Performances
Although not a full list, here are some notable performances!
Performer | Song & Comment |
|---|---|
Dua Lipa | “Houdini” with a preview of her upcoming song “Training Season” She really brought the hot girl aesthetic to the show |
Billie Eilish | “What Was I Made For?” with Finneas It’s a performance that will break hearts even if one doesn’t have one |
Miley Cyrus | “Flowers” It was such a high power performance filled with cheeky adlibs like “I just won my first GRAMMY!!” |
Olivia Rodrigo | “Vampire” Performed with blood and a fun shot of Taylor Swift jamming to it |
SZA | “Snooze” and “Kill Bill” ”Kill Bill” really brought Quentin Tarantino with all the wicked choreography. Not sure if she really “killed her ex,” but this year sure has a lot of blood on the stage |
Travis Scott | “My Eyes”, “I Know?”, and “FE!N” With a lot of rage towards the Award show sleeping on him for 10 times, which understandable. I was also be mad if I was nominated 10 times with no award in hand. |
Sadly we did not get to see Ryan Gosling perform “I’m just Ken.” However, in his absence, Lainey Wilson did perform the infamous song at Clive Davis' pre Grammys party at Beverly Hilton.
