As host Trevor Noah joked about the 2022 Grammys on Sunday night: “Don’t even think of it as an awards show. This is a concert where they’re giving out awards.”
And what a concert it was, with captivating performances like Silk Sonic‘s Las Vegas-appropriate “777” show opener, best new artist winner Olivia Rodrigo’s suburban “Drivers License” showcase and best country album winner Chris Stapleton’s chilling rendition of “Cold.” BTS returned to the Grammy stage with a James Bond-inspired “Butter” sequence, and Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a video appearance before John Legend’s “Free.” Lady Gaga, in the absence of her music partner Tony Bennett, performed two songs from their collaborative album Love for Sale, which won best traditional pop vocal album. Oh, and we can’t forget surprise album of the year winner Jon Batiste tearing down the house with “Freedom.”
