Pop legend Alicia Keys claimed that DEI policies are a “gift” to America as she received the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at Sunday’s Grammy Awards. After winning the award recognizing her decades in the music industry, Keys called for more “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) in America, not less. “This is not the time to shut down the diversity of voices,” said Keys on sage. “We’ve seen on this stage talented, hardworking people from different backgrounds with different points of view, and it changes the game. DEI is not a threat, it’s a gift.

Jaden Smith's bizarre Grammys 2025 outfit choice has raised eyebrows online.

But this still seems crazy to me. Country music fans, your reactions?

Kanye “Ye” West’s wife Bianca Censori stunned onlookers when she showed up to the Grammys red carpet at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angles completely nude on Sunday evening. Ye’s wife removed her fur coat and revealed a completely sheer dress underneath and clear high heels. Bianca Censori stripped down while Kanye West, dressed in all black with black sunglasses, stood next to her and posed for the cameras.

LOS ANGELES -- LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Grammy Awards will look a little bit different this week. Each year, the Recording Academy hosts a multitude of events to welcome the music industry during Grammy week and record labels do the same. However, many institutions have canceled their plans — Universal Music Group, Sony, Spotify, BMG and Warner Music Group among them — and instead are allocating resources to help those affected by the devastating Los Angeles-area wildfires. The Grammys will still take place on Sunday at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles but now will focus its attention on...

May 4th 1959, The very first Grammy Awards are held in Los Angeles, with Record of the Year going to Domenico Modugno's "Nel Blu, Dipinto di Blu (Volare)" and Henry Mancini's The Music From Peter Gunn soundtrack winning Album of the Year.Domenico Modugno's "Nel Blu, Dipinto di Blu (Volare)Henry Mancini - “Peter Gunn”

Using only her art, the legendary Tracy Chapman took to the Grammy stage Sunday night and made the most American of statements. The story behind Chapman’s iconic, Grammy-winning hit “Fast Car” dates back 36 years to 1988, when it was first released. She was only 23 then, but in the synthesized-saxophoned eighties, “Fast Car” was something all its own. The Clevelend-born Chapman was lucky. America was still a young country then, a country eager to embrace The New, an anxious culture always glancing over the shoulder of the latest superstar, eager for whatever was next. The stagnant America we live...

“I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than anyone, and never won album of the year,” he said of Beyoncé. “Even by your own metric that does not work. Think about that, most Grammys, never won album of the year, that doesn’t work.”

Rapper Killer Mike has been taken away from the Grammys in handcuffs following a 'physical altercation' after winning three awards. The 48-year-old rapper, known for his work as a member of rap duo Run The Jewels, won Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for his solo song 'Scientists & Engineers,' and the Best Rap Album for Michael. A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department told DailyMail.com that a man was being questioned, but they could not confirm his identity. 'At 4pm an adult male was taken into custody for a physical altercation that took place inside the arena,'...

The 2023 Grammys made a huge splash, while horrifying Christians with its blatant satanic imagery and pagan religious overtones. But this is not so new! As I sat to write an article about the 2023 event, I remembered my reaction to the 2014 Grammy Awards. I wrote the following account:In 1971, Don McLean sang “Bye-bye, Miss American Pie,” and asked: “…do you have faith in God above, if the Bible tells you so, [or] do you believe in rock and roll, can music save your mortal soul?” Back then there were still options. Asking these two questions in a pop...

At the 2023 Grammys, the religious theme went even further in the promotion of Satanism. Two trans, non-binary, androgynous artists Sam Smith and Kim Petras performed a song entitled “Unholy,” worshiping Satan. Smith was dressed in bright red with horns, surrounded by half-dressed young women twerking him in a highly sexualized manner. All this worshiping of “Satan” was intended to make a non-binary appeal to children to worship Satan and themselves.1 Madonna was still part of the event and this satanic, sexual scene on live TV shows us how far popular culture is falling. It is strange indeed for Pfizer,...

“When Bonnie Raitt won the award for Song of the Year at the 2023 Grammys on Sunday night for her track Just Like That,” The Daily Mail reports this week, “some were shocked that the accolade went to the 73-year-old folk singer - over huge artists like Taylor Swift, Lizzo, Harry Styles, Beyonce and Adele, who were also nominated for the category.” Much less shocking, given Raitt’s social and political milieu, is this rock and roller’s propaganda ministrations for the only regime in the modern history of the Western Hemisphere to criminalize rock & roll and herd its practitioners and...

Last night, the 2023 Grammys in 5 minutes showed you graphically how close to the end we truly are. Satan, brought to you by Pfizer. Just like we’ve been telling you. If you were looking for a theme song wrapped in an iconic moment to truly symbolize what it means to be here on Day 1,057 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, the 2023 Grammys last night was just the ticket. You had LGBTQ+ transgenders, Satan, women in cages being beaten with whips, all while singing a song called ‘Unholy’. And if that wasn’t enough, the moment this demonic...

However, what stood out more than Madonna’s words to viewers was her face, sparking a sea of reactions on Twitter. Some couldn’t even recognize her as she stood in front of the audience with noticeably bigger lips, braids, a tight black suit and fishnet gloves

Pfizer, which is at the center of the whole dystopian vaccine mandate kerfuffle, apparently didn’t find the optics too compromising when it chose to plaster its logo as the proud sponsor of devil worship at the 65th Grammy Awards. Fox News host Tucker Carlson summed up the Grammys from Hell perfectly during the Feb. 6 edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight: “Tonight’s transgender satanism brought to you by Pfizer.” Also, mocked Tucker, “Inject their products into your body!”

First Lady Jill Biden was gorgeous as she presented two awards at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 5. Biden presented one of the major awards for the night when she announced the winner of the Song of the Year winner, which went to Bonnie Raitt for her song “Just Like That.” She looked absolutely stunning as she presented the major award. The first lady’s Oscar de la Renta-designed gown was shining silver and it also had some nature-inspired designs throughout it. Besides the sparkling silver, there were some gold leaves on the dress. She looked excited to...

Theater lovers may want to tune into the 2022 Grammy Awards. A source tells us that Grammy producers have reached out to Barbra Streisand and asked her to perform a tribute to late musical theater great Stephen Sondheim for this January’s show. ******* Composer and lyricist Sondheim passed away on Friday at age 91. The iconic songwriter was known for “West Side Story,” “Follies,” “Sunday in the Park with George,” “Into the Woods,” and more. A revival of his show, “Company,” is currently playing Broadway at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, and another of his shows, “Assassins,” is playing off-Broadway...

U.S.—A class-action lawsuit has been filed in federal court against Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion for intense trauma and psychological damages following the pair's Grammys performance last weekend. Reports of Americans slamming their own heads against blunt objects rose to incomprehensible numbers after the performance last Sunday, with many reporting damages after trying to wash their eyes out with bleach. While it is unprecedented that an entire country would sue an artist, the court granted an exception due to the uniquely terrible and offensive nature of the song and dance. "Yeah, we're gonna go ahead and allow this," said...

Just 8.8 million people tuned into the Grammy Awards on CBS this year, a new all-time low for the music awards show, according to near-final Nielsen ratings. Why it matters: In a sign of how much the pandemic has sped up ratings declines for award shows, the Grammy's ratings were still the highest for any major award show in the past year. The Golden Globes were viewed by just 6.9 million people this year, a record low. Viewership of the Emmys last September dropped 11% year-over-year to just 6.1 million viewers, another record low. Prior to Sunday, 2006 was the...
