Grammy Awards 2017 Bruno’s Grammy consistency If there was an award for the Best Artist at Awards Shows, that honour would go to Bruno Mars. Beyoncé and Adele don’t qualify because they don’t grace us with their presence enough. Bruno is an award show staple and, consistently, he delivers. He slayed the American Music By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 03:11 pm
Style Rihanna’s flask Rihanna went 0 for 8 last night at the Grammys. 0 for 8 for Anti, the best, most critically acclaimed album of her career. Probably the biggest surprise is that 21 Pilots’s Stressed Out beat out Work. Because for those who argue that the Grammys are based on sales By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 02:54 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Nicole is gorgeous at the BAFTAs She looks spectacular, right? This is probably my favourite dress that she’s worn this award season. And that’s an exquisite necklace too. But what makes this entire look is the hair and makeup. I love that she’s just left her hair loose and a little tousled. The By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 01:35 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Naomie’s BAFTA ruffles and flowers I appreciate that Naomie Harris wasn’t going for a boring strapless column dress. That she’s willing to try something different, make a statement. Unfortunately I can’t get behind this outfit. It’s too much at the same time. The shoulder ruffles, the flower belt, it's By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 01:13 pm
Tryhards Tom Post-Taffy Last week we all read Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s amazing profile of Tom Hiddleston. In it, T-Hidds is the most! Excited! Person! And he just! Can’t! Stop! Sharing!!! Lainey assessed Hiddles’ Try as not the “uncool cool” of Lin-Manuel Miranda and Lady Gaga, but as the uncool- By Sarah • Feb 13, 2017 01:07 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Blue Ivy saved the Grammys We weren’t going to give Blue her own post. Lainey and I discussed just mentioning Blue’s wonderfulness in a post about Beyoncé. That would not have been enough. Blue Ivy Carter showed up last in her finest form, ready to entertain the world and save a fake car By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 12:24 pm
Style The Grammys needed more Solange My second biggest disappointment of the night was how little we got to see of Miss Tina’s youngest daughter, Solange Knowles. Solange’s A Seat at the Table was one of my favourite albums of 2016. Solange had an incredible year. Last night, she won her first Grammy for By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 11:53 am
Coincidence or conspiracy Beyoncé knew She knew. Last week I wrote about how the Recording Academy had to discuss during a meeting whether or not Beyoncé was “gaming the system”. They claim it was a short conversation but the signs were there – they didn’t appreciate that Beyoncé delivered a complete album that crossed several By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 11:25 am
Music Beyoncé is worthy There is a lot I would say to Beyoncé Giselle Knowles Carter if I ever got the chance. I would tell her that she is the single greatest artist of my generation and that it has been one of my life’s pleasures just to be her fan. I would By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 10:18 am
Relationship Assumption J.Lo “gushes” over Drake at the Grammys Most of the headlines featuring Jennifer Lopez today are saying that she “gushed” about Drake in her Grammys red carpet interview with Ryan Seacrest. That is not how I interpreted what she said about Drake. Or, I should say, that is not how I read her body language when she By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 09:46 am
Grammy Awards 2017 Adele shows her work We all remember last year the Grammys f-cked Adele on the audio. This year, she opened the show. And, to be honest, the audio was a problem again – not as bad as in 2016 but we’ve all seen Adele at the height of her powers. And if you’ By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 09:12 am
Music We The People A Tribe Called Quest ended their performance at the 2017 Grammy Awards with Q-Tip yelling, “RESIST! RESIST! RESIST!” So, it was the most 2017 performance of the night. ATCQ was joined by Busta Rhymes and Best New Artist nominee Anderson .Paak. ATCQ’s classic jam Award Tour kicked off By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 08:18 am
Grammy Awards 2017 Paris Jackson at the Grammys Were we meant to be intrigued by Michael Jackson’s children the moment he introduced them to the world? They were presented to us. And they were also hidden from us. Because he knew about the oppressive nature of fame. But, deep down, he must have also known that elusiveness By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 07:58 am
Music Chance took the Grammys to church In January, I wrote about how Chance The Rapper was leaning hard into his good guy persona. I also wrote about how having “Grammy-award winning” in front of your name means ultimate validation for artists and how much I wanted that for Chance. Well, Chance The Rapper was validated By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 07:44 am
Award Season Campaigning Denzel and Casey’s winning weekends Casey Affleck won the BAFTA for Best Actor in a Leading Role last night. Denzel Washington, however, was not nominated. And the last time they went head-to-head, at the SAGs, it was Denzel who pulled off the surprise. Which suddenly changed our assumption of what the Best Actor By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 07:24 am
Music Intro for February 13, 2017 Dear Gossips, Since the midpoint of last year, I’ve been Gossip Genie-ing for a Grammy collaboration between Beyoncé and Adele. A conventional collaboration did not happen. But could you call what actually did happen a collaboration? In the end, what wasn’t televised is the moment Adele accidentally By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 07:00 am
