Music “That song is about that guy” During the Grammys, Gwen Stefani shot a live video for her new song Make Me Like You as a commercial for Target. It was like mini-Grease.

Music Hamilton at the Grammys Last night the opening number of Hamilton, “Alexander Hamilton”, was performed live from their home stage at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
