The 2020 Grammy Awards were a somewhat somber occasion this year, taking place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles just hours after L.A. Lakers legend Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash.

Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, were among the nine victims who died in a crash that took place in Calabasas, Calif. on Sunday morning.

While many musicians remarked on the red carpet that the tragedy made "music's biggest night" bittersweet, the show did have moments of levity.

In the end, the night belonged to Billie Eilish, who spent about as much time on stage as host Alicia Keys.

Here's a recap of the ceremony's most talked-about moments.

1. Kobe Bryant is honored at the top of the show: After many stars memorialized to Bryant on the red carpet, Lizzo kicked off the 2020 Grammys by announcing, "Tonight is for Kobe," and host Alicia Keys paid tribute to the NBA star in her monologue.

"We're literally standing here, heartbroken, in the house that Kobe Bryant built," Keys said. "Right now, Kobe and his daughter Gianna and all of those that have been tragically lost today are in our spirit, and our hearts and our prayers."

Keys asked the crowd to take a moment to remember Bryant, and was joined on stage by Boyz II Men to sing their hit, "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday."

"We wanted to do something that could describe, a tiny bit, how we all feel right now," she explained. "We never imagined in a million years we'd have to start the show like this."

2. Stars remember Prince and Nipsey Hussle:It's been almost four years since Prince died, and to honor the late singer, Usher, FKA Twigs and Prince's longtime collaborator Sheila E. took the stage for a performance of the late singer's hits "Little Red Corvette," "When Doves Cry" and "Kiss."

Later in the show, Nipsey Hussle, who was fatally shot in Los Angeles last March, was remembered in a tribute by Meek Mill, Roddy Rich, John Legend, DJ Khaled, Kirk Franklin and YG. At the end of DJ Khaled's song, "Higher," on which Hussle was featured, the late rapper's photo, along with Bryant's, was shown. "Higher" later won the award for best rap song, and Khaled dedicated the honor to Hussle.

"We all love him, we all miss him," Legend added.

3. Performances from every genre rock the Staples Center: For many, the biggest reason to tune in to the Grammys is to watch the performances, and this year, they didn't disappoint.

Lizzo started the show by belting out "Cuz I Love You" and "Truth Hurts," followed by real-life couple Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani singing "Nobody But You."

The Jonas Brothers serenaded the crowd with "Five More Minutes" and "What's a Man Gotta Do," and then Tyler, the Creator performed "Earfquake" and "New Magic Wand" with Boyz II Men and Charlie Wilson.

Later, Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus brought down the house with their hit "Old Town Road," along with BTS, Mason Ramsey, Diplo, Young Thug and Nas. Ariana Grande sang "Imagine," "7 Rings" and "Thank U, Next," and Demi Lovato moved viewers with her emotional new song, "Anyone."

Other performers included Camila Cabello, Tanya Tucker, Rosalia, H.E.R., and Gary Clark Jr., among others.

4. Demi Lovato returns to the stage: Just before her overdose in the summer of 2018, Demi Lovato wrote a song called "Anyone," which she recently described as a "cry for help." The 27-year-old singer took the stage at the Grammysfor her first performance since her hospitalization, delivering an emotional performance that brought her to tears.

"Anyone, please send me anyone. Lord, is there anyone? I need someone," she sang.

The crowd gave her a standing ovation.

5. Billie Eilish wins big: At just 18, Billie Eilish has accomplished things most musicians can only dream of. The singer picked up five of the six Grammys for which she was nominated on Sunday, including best new artist, album of the year for "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" and song of the year and record of the year for "Bad Guy."

In her acceptance speech for record of the year, Eilish said she thought Ariana Grande deserved the honor, and she laughed when she picked up album of the year.

"Thank you," she said, simply.

My Selections for GRAMMYS 2020

Continuing what I started last year here’s my reaction to the GRAMMY Nominations with my selections for who I believe should win, and also who I would have picked for each category.

Let me first lay out the ground rules: - I will be following the time frame for eligibility which is October 1st 2018 to September 30th 2019. - I will be ignoring categories for genres I don’t listen to enough. Metal, Country, Classical, Jazz, will be left off. - I am ignoring that the Performance categories are a mixture of recordings and live performances and just treating them as genre specific “Records of the year” awards. The one’s with “Song” in the title are geared more towards the song writing. - I will first make my selection of the available options. Bold and underlines will be my top selection with underlined not bold as my runner up. - I will then make my own selections for each category and who I think should win out of that. - My selection is not just a list of my favorite albums. My selections will be a balancing act taking in account artistic accomplishments, Impact both culturally and popularity as well as what I personally think is good. - I made a few liberties with some of my selections, mostly from the rules for eligibility being vague in spots. - This list is just all my biased suggestions. I’m sure there will be some major differences in opinions with anybody who reads this. - Feel free to shoot me a message to discuss more with me anything you wish to!

okay here is my definitive ranking of the performances in the 2020 grammys

lil nas x and everyone singing old town road. the aesthetics. the outfit changes. the SET. THE VIBES. it was the MOST fun.

lizzo’s opening number. setting the fucking ENERGY. that black dress was incredible.

demi lovato. i love her so much and even though it’s not the best technical performance, or the most interesting, it was by far the most emotional for me.

usher’s prince tribute. it was SUCH a delight, oh my god, and also that hot dancer needs to call me.

tanya tucker and brandi carlile. that song fully fucks me up thank you.

h.e.r. is such a talent and a gift and a legend and i loved her performance SO. MUCH.

alicia keys and boyz ii men singing a cappella. heartbreaking but still, like, nice.

smokey robinson and little big down singing a cappella. listen, it was cute. even if something almost identical happened last year.

the nipsey hussle tribute. i don’t know nipsey hussle’s music but it was such a good and energetic and loving tribute.

rosalia. the energy was AMAZING i could watch her dance all day and also malamente as a song fucking rules.

trombone shorty and the preservation band. a nice little pick me up! fun and cute.

the first third of ariana grande’s performance, where she sang imagine and then the fun weird orchestral version of my favorite things.

alicia keys and brittany howard. it was fine? they both were having a lot of fun, and i liked the song and the staging, but it was a little bland.

camila cabello and very specifically the part where she went to her own actual father to sing to him directly. that got me!

the jonas brothers. i have to be real, they’re mostly ranked this high because of their outfits. if it weren’t for that they would be like six spots lower.

gary clark jr and the roots. i didn’t like the performance overly much but it’s noteworthy because i think it’s the only performance in this show that resulted in me actively wanting to look up the performer.

billie eilish. girl can SING. also her brother’s tux jacket ruled.

bonnie raitt. kind of bland but a good song and i like her!

tyler, the creator. it’s not my normal stuff and it didn’t do much for me but the aesthetics were outrageously good.

the group cover of i sing the body electric, which was well done from a performance standpoint and was fun to watch but at that point i was sitting there like. mr ehrlich i am BEGGING you to end this show i have been watching it for THREE AND A HALF HOURS. if it’d been earlier it would be higher tbh.

alicia keys’s lewis capaldi cover, which i have to assume would’ve been her opening number if it weren’t for the boys ii men thing. it was fine but it also feels very much like it was a producer’s idea because it didn’t fit in with the tone she was cultivating.

aerosmith with run dmc, which was fine but went on faaaaaar too long.

the last two thirds of ariana grande’s performance, where she sang 7 rings and thank u next. if i wanted to watch the music videos, i would. and honestly, don’t do a super dance intensive performance and have the recorded version of your song play over it. boring.

blake shelton and gwen stefani. what a completely forgettable performance. if i did not literally have it listed in front of me i wouldn’t have remembered to include it.

Make people bop to your tunes with these music-making tools

When I was in school, I discovered a software named Virtual DJ. It was a Windows app that allowed me to queue up songs and even provided some automated effects and tools to act cool in front of my friends.

My love for the Virtual DJ carried over to college, and I used to be the resident DJ for all parties in my hostel. I knew jack shit about actual DJing back then, but the app allowed me to earn some street cred.

I’ve always been fascinated by apps that let fools like me play around with tabs and still produce something that roughly resembles a tune. So, I thought I’d list some stuff you can use to amuse (or annoy) your friends and family during this lockdown:

You can download Virtual DJ for Windows and Mac for free to learn some mixing basics or just switch up some tunes.

If you want something advanced, Apple is offering a 90-day free trial of its famed Logic Pro X music software used by many artists and producers.

Roland’s Zenbeats app is free to download on iOS and Android.

The US Library of Congress is building an online tool called Citizen DJ to let you use sounds from its gigantic collection.

Pioneer DJ has made its streaming and recording app free for 90 days.

If you want to record an instrument you’re playing, try the Dolby On app available on Android and iOS.

Dani Deahl has written a great story on The Verge listing a ton of tools and sample packs that you can use to make music.

Video of the day

Pitchfork recently interviewed FINNEAS, the Grammy-winning producer, who’s worked with Billie Eilish on her albums. His other collaborators include Camila Cabello and Selena Gomez. Watch this fascinating video of his thought-process behind making music.

Grammys 2020: Winners and Highlights

Jam-packed with iconic music moments, the 62nd Grammy Awards just commenced yesterday night. Taking place at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, the program featured some anticipated debuts and several tribute performances about Kobe Bryant’s sudden, tragic passing.

It started with Lizzo singing ‘Cuz I Love You’ and then ‘Truth Hurts’, which she followed by an opening statement for the night: “Tonight is for Kobe.” That’s when Alicia Keys, who was hosting the awards, took the stage to say, “Here we are together, on music’s biggest night, celebrating the artists that do it best but to be honest with you, we’re all feeling crazy sadness right now because earlier today, Los Angeles, America and the whole wide world lost a hero.” Boyz II Men then joined her to perform ‘It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye.’

On another emotional note, Camila Cabello came down a flight of stairs and sang ‘First Man’ to her father, Alejandro Cabello, while her childhood photos appeared on the screen. His reaction was special as he cried and hugged her after the performance. Most viewers said it resonated with them and reminded them of the Bryant family.

Performing his hit country trap song ‘Old Town Road’, Lil Nas X shared the stage with K-pop band BTS, Billy Ray Cyrus and 13-year-old Mason Ramsey for an epic performance. The beautiful merging of cultures and generations was one for the books.

Demi Lovato also debuted ‘Anyone’, the song she wrote only days before her overdose. In the middle of performing, Lovato choked up and then started singing again from the beginning, which got her a standing ovation from an understanding audience. This was also the first time for her to perform on stage since the overdose in 2018. Can you believe the extent to which this night was a rollercoaster?

Now, drumroll for the main awards… Don’t be surprised when you notice an obvious star among the winners at the Grammys this year.

Lizzo received the most nominations – eight, including album (“Cuz I Love You”), record and song (“Truth Hurts”) of the year. She’s followed by Lil Nas X and Eilish, who are tied with six nods each. Artists with five nominations include Ariana Grande, H.E.R. and Finneas O’Connell. 

Eilish, 18, joins Lizzo, 31, in the album of the year category with her genre-bending, critically acclaimed debut “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” The trend-setting teen, whose music has amassed more than 15 billion combined streams across platforms, is also up for record and song of the year for No. 1 hit “Bad Guy.” That makes her the youngest nominee in Grammy history to be nominated in all four major categories, according to the Recording Academy.

Lil Nas X, 20, whose real name is Montero Hill, is similarly up for best album with his eight-song debut “7.” “Old Town Road,” his country-rap collaboration with Billy Ray Cyrus that topped the charts for a record-breaking 19 consecutive weeks this summer, is nominated for best pop/duo group performance, and his follow-up single “Panini” is up for best rap/sung performance. 

Grande’s five nods include record (“7 Rings”) and album of the year (“Thank U, Next”). The best album category is rounded out by Bon Iver’s “I, I,” Lana Del Rey’s “Norman F***ing Rockwell,” H.E.R.’s “I Used to Know Her” and Vampire Weekend’s “Father of the Bride.”

Who got snubbed?

Though this year’s nominations shined a light on new artists, established favorites, such as Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen, were left in the dark.

10-time Grammy winner Swift made history in 2016 by becoming the first female artist to win album of the year twice, for “1989” and “Fearless” (a feat managed a year later by Adele, with “25” and “21”). Swift’s Grammys streak has slowed: Her divisive “Reputation” earned just one nod in 2018 for best pop vocal album, and this year, she garnered only three nominations, including song of the year for “Lover.”

Her critically beloved album “Lover” failed to land a best album nod but showed up in best pop vocal album. Her pro-LGBTQ anthem “You Need to Calm Down” eked out a nomination for best pop solo performance but missed out on record of the year.

Similarly, 20-time winner Springsteen has been a reliable Grammy presence since 1984 and was honored in 2013 by the Recording Academy’s charity arm as MusiCares Person of the Year. The Boss returned this summer with the country-tinged “Western Stars,” which marked his first album of solo material since 2012’s “Wrecking Ball.” Voters didn’t welcome him back with open arms, snubbing “Western Stars” and Springsteen entirely.

Who’s hosting the Grammys?

After hosting the 2019 Grammys, Alicia Keys is back and ready to take on the gig for the second year in a row. With 15 Grammy wins, Keys is certainly qualified.

“It’s almost like a marathon: You can’t just run a marathon (once),” Keys said of her desire to host a second time. “I feel like now, more than ever, I’m familiar with the space on multiple levels. It’s going to be an exciting, inclusive, beautiful experience, and that’s what I want to create.”

Who’s performing?

This year’s Grammys should be a big night for Eilish and Lizzo, not just because of their nominations but also because they’ll each make their Grammys stage debuts. 

Demi Lovato will also take the stage, marking her first live performance since she was hospitalized after a possible drug overdose in 2018.

“I told you the next time you’d hear from me I’d be singing,” Lovato wrote on Instagram Tuesday, along with the announcement.

Also returning to the show is Grande, who didn’t attend last year after a dispute with Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich.  

Ehrlich will be honored in a tribute performance Sunday featuring artists involved in his 40-year career. Performers will include Camila Cabello, John Legend, Cyndi Lauper and Ben Platt, among others.

Power couple Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani will perform together at the show for the first time. Additionally, Billy Ray Cyrus, Lil Nas X, BTS, Diplo and more will join forces for an “Old Town Road All-Stars” performance.

Aerosmith, Run-D.M.C, Charlie Wilson, Bonnie Raitt, Camila Cabello, H.E.R., the Jonas Brothers, Rosalía and Tyler, The Creator will all also take the stage.   

Sunday’s show will also pay tribute to rapper Nipsey Hussle, who was shot to death outside his Marathon clothing store in the South Los Angeles neighborhood where he was from in March 2019. DJ Khaled, John Legend, Roddy Ricch, Kirk Franklin, Meek Mill and YG will honor Hussle’s legacy with a performance. The late rapper is nominated for three awards this year including best rap song. 

Who’s presenting?

Famous faces set to hand out the golden gramophones include Trevor Noah and Jim Gaffigan, who are both nominated for Best Comedy Album, as well as Brandi Carlile and Tanya Tucker, who are also set to perform.

Also presenting are previous Grammy winners Common, Cynthia Erivo, Dua Lipa, Billy Porter, Smokey Robinson, Shania Twain, Keith Urban and Stevie Wonder, as well as past Grammy nominees Ava DuVernay and Bebe Rexha. 

Music industry titans Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne will also hand out trophies.

How are the Grammy Awards different this year?

This year’s Grammys will have more women, people of color and young people choosing who wins.

Responding to criticism that the awards show has lacked diversity among nominees and winners, the Recording Academy invited 900 members to join the voting body, emphasizing women, people of color and those under the age of 39, or some combination of the three. 

Who will be honored at Grammy Awards events?

Grammys fun kicks off way before the main awards show begins.

One of the most famous lead-up events is record producer Clive Davis’ star-studded pre-Grammys gala, held this year on the Saturday night before the show.

At this year’s gala, three-time Grammy winner Sean “Diddy” Combs will be recognized as the 2020 Grammy Salute to Industry Icons honoree for his 25-year career in the music industry.

The Friday before the Grammys, rock band Aerosmith will be honored as the 2020 Person of the Year for MusiCares, the Recording Academy’s charity for musicians in critical financial need. The band earned the title for their philanthropy and impact on music history.

They will be honored with a tribute concert featuring Gary Clark Jr., Alice Cooper, Foo Fighters, H.E.R., the Jonas Brothers, Emily King, John Legend, John Mayer and Yola, among others.

The Tuesday after the Grammys, late music icon Prince will be honored with an all-star tribute concert featuring Beck, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Chris Martin, Usher, H.E.R., the Foo Fighters, Earth, Wind & Fire and others.

The Grammys Red Carpet Fashion Is All About Taking Risks

The Grammys are always a welcome rest stop during the marathon of film and TV award shows that take place between January and February. Don’t get us wrong, we’ll never get tired of seeing Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston together in the same room, but after the Golden Globes and the SAGs, we’re happy to tune in to watch a totally different crowd of A-listers share of inside jokes, celebrate one another’s accomplishments, and, of course, walk the red carpet. Fashion at the Grammys is nothing like that of the award shows before it because attendees are known for going above and beyond in the style department. Imagine if Cardi B showed up at the Golden Globes in that vintage Thierry Mugler oyster dress or seeing J.Lo at the SAG Awards wearing her now-iconic jungle dress — it just wouldn’t happen. But at the Grammys, there are no rules, and it shows on the red carpet.  On Sunday, we expected a fashion-focused crowd and they delivered; with everyone from Lizzo and Miley Cyrus to Lady Gaga and Lil Nas X (whose Kelsey Randall cowboy hat on the cover of Variety deserves its own Grammy) attended the festivities, while Ariana Grande showed up in an iconic cloud gown. All in all, Sunday's style game was as covetable as the Grammy Awards themselves — and we can’t wait to tell you all about it. Snag a front-row seat to all the action by clicking through our list of the best-dressed celebrities on the Grammy Awards red carpet.

Brandi Carlile

Lute

Maggie Rogers in Vintage Chanel

Maggie Rogers threw it back to the early 2010s in a star-studded vintage Chanel gown from 2013. But because 2020 is all about self-care, naturally, the "Alaska" singer had to accessorize with a chic Chanel water-bottle-slash-handbag #Hydration.Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for The Recording Academy.

Chrissy Teigen in Yanina Couture

Chrissy Teigen never fails to light up our day on Twitter, but it's her orange, bold-shouldered frock on tonight's red carpet that's bringing a smile to our faces right now. Photo by Steve Granitz/WireImage.

Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey always looks her best on the red carpet (yes, we're talking about her Heavenly Bodies Met Gala look), and her Gatsby-inspired get-up on tonight's red carpet is no different.

Dua Lipa in Alexander Wang

Shawn Mendes in Louis Vuitton

First Timothée Chalamet and now Shawn Mendes — we simply can't get enough of today's fashion boys donning magenta suits on the red carpet.

Bebe Rexha in Christian Cowan

Did Bebe Rexha just make rhinestone turtlenecks the most sought-after trend of 2020? We think yes! Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images.

Lil Nas X in Versace

Tyler, The Creator

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Tyler The Creator's very Grand Budapest Hotel-esque bubblegum pink get-up on tonight's red carpet?

F.K.A. Twigs in Ed Marler

This hooded pink and black gown, which was custom made for F.K.A. Twigs by her close friend Ed Marler, is straight out of the Baroque period.

Ariana Grande in Custom Giambattista Valli

We can't even begin to Imagine a world where Ariana Grande doesn't look 10/10. Can you blame us? Just look at this absolutely iconic cloud gray ensemble, matching evening gloves included.Photo by Steve Granitz/WireImage.

H.E.R. in DSquared2

From the pastel lenses on her oversized shades to the metallic belt wrapped around her patterned robe dress — H.E.R.'s red carpet look really does have it all. Photo by Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for The Recording Academy.

Ariana Grande

While you were debating whether her first dress was gray or blue on Twitter, Ariana Grande was busy switching up her entire look, this time putting on a just-as-voluminous skirt paired with a satin crop top.

Billy Porter in Baja East

The Grammys have only just begun, but Billy Porter's already won the night's most coveted award: Best dressed. Sorry folks, but between his rhinestone Baja East hat and his shimmering teal bodysuit, we can't imagine anyone out-doing the Pose star. Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images.

Billie Eilish in Gucci

Adrienne Warren in Brandon Maxwell

We can't help but attribute this gorgeous one-shoulder gown on singer and actress Adrienne Warren to Tina Turner, a.k.a. the "Proud Mary" singer who Warren is currently portraying in the Broadway musical Tina: The Tina Turner Musical.

Lizzo in Versace

This Old Hollywood-esque all-white ensemble on Lizzo (who's been nominated for a whopping 8 Grammys) deserves a Grammy Award of its own. Photo by Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic.

Labrinth in Balmain

The only thing more impressive than vocalist Labrinth's pipes is his unbeatable style game — and this draped red suit paired with gold jewelry and white boots only adds to that reputation. Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for The Recording Academy.

Jessie Reyez in Romona Keveža

Diplo & BTS Will Join Lil Nas X & Billy Ray Cyrus On Stage At GRAMMYs

One of Ken Ehrlich’s last legacies will be his “Grammy Moments” — the major collaborative moments on stage between artists. Ehrlich has been either a Grammys producer or executive producer for 40 years but is stepping down after this year’s event.

During the televised event, there will be a tribute performance of “I Sing the Body Electric” from the film and TV series Fame with current nominees Camila Cabello, Gary Clark Jr. and John Legend, as well as Debbie Allen, Joshua Bell, Common, Misty Copeland, Lang Lang, Cyndi Lauper, Ben Platt, and The War And Treaty. In addition, he’s also organized a major Moment surrounding Lil Nas X’s 19-week number-one hit “Old Town Road” with BTS, Diplo, Mason Ramsey and “surprise guests.”

“To bring high-caliber artists like [these] together on one stage fulfills a dream of mine,” said Ehrlich. “To be able to do this on the Grammy stage makes it unforgettable for me.”

This year’s Grammys air live this Sunday, January 26 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS.
