The 2024 Grammys were held in Los Angeles on Sunday, featuring performances from artists such as Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus, and Joni Mitchell. However, Travis Scott’s controversial performance received criticism and should have been cut from the show.
The 66th annual Grammy Awards showcased a range of artists, including superstars Billie Eilish and SZA, as well as industry icons Billy Joel and Stevie Wonder.
Among the performances, a few were standout moments of the evening, while one stood out as a misstep.
Dua Lipa’s opening performance was skillful and showcased her growth as a stage presence. She opted to perform a medley of her new singles instead of the nominated song, demonstrating her power as a pop star.
Tracy Chapman made a rare appearance to perform her hit song “Fast Car” with Luke Combs. Combs has been a vocal fan of Chapman’s original version and their duet received a standing ovation and praise on social media.
Miley Cyrus celebrated her first-ever Grammy win with a powerful performance of her smash hit “Flowers.” Her unpolished and energetic performance captivated the audience.
Olivia Rodrigo delivered a powerful vocal performance of her hit song “Vampire,” complete with dramatic theatrics and visual effects.
Joni Mitchell made her debut Grammy performance at 80 years old, showcasing her talent and accomplishments in a ceremony highlighting women’s achievements.
On the downside, Travis Scott’s performance, following a tribute to victims of concert tragedies, felt out of place and offensive in light of the Astroworld tragedy where multiple people lost their lives.
Overall, the 2024 Grammys featured several memorable and outstanding performances, but Travis Scott’s inclusion was a misstep given the circumstances.
