![]() ![]() Yeah, I know you like getting self-righteous every year about who wins the trophies, but I know for a fact you won’t remember or care next week, whereas we will all go to our graves remembering Lady Gaga’s triumphant freakout on “Shallow.” She went all the way glam-punk, strutting and kicking in an absurd glitter catsuit, going way past the edge of glory and diving into the deep end. The night was full of memorable music moments, which is what the Grammys are all about. But the Grammys belonged to Dolly and Cardi and Camilla and Kacey and Gaga and Dua and Janelle and Miss Ross. Neither did Taylor Swift, who had last year’s top-selling album with Reputation, yet got exactly as many Grammy nominations as the Grateful Dead or the Alan Parsons Project, and wisely ditched this clambake to hang out in London and play American queen at a different award show. Neither did Ariana Grande, who pulled out of the Grammys last week, or Lorde, who didn’t get the chance to sing last year. As host Alicia Keys asked Michelle Obama at the start, “ Who runs the world?” But last night’s Grammy bash turned into a celebration of female artists all over the musical map, from Album of the Year winner Kacey Musgraves to legends like Diana Ross and Dolly Parton. There was something deliciously sadistic about the way Dua twisted the knife. After noting all her fellow female nominees, Dua quipped, “I guess this year we’ve really stepped up!” It was the first time all night anyone dared to mention last year’s big controversy, when Grammy president Neil Portnow suggested women in the music world needed to “step up” to get on his level. ![]() Dua Lipa had the funniest line at this year’s Grammys, right after she won the award for Best New Artist. ![]()
