Grammy Awards 2021, le donne conquistano le statuette

Grammy Awards 2021, Beyoncé supera ogni record e porta via 28 premi, è di Billie Eilish il premio per miglior disco dell'anno

A Beyoncé vanno la bellezza di 28 statuette del grammofono. Un numero davvero da far invidia, infatti  i premi sono stati portati a casa da Beyonce,  per il miglior video musicale (con Brown Skin Girl) e ancora  per la migliore performance rap e la migliore canzone rap (Savage) in feat. con Megan Thee Stallion e quello per la migliore performance R&B con Black Parade. 

Il Grammy per la nuova promessa musicale, quello alla miglior nuova artista, va a Megan Thee Stallion, al secolo Megan Jovon Ruth Pete. È la rapper a stelle e strisce che ha duettato con Beyoncé nel remix del suo pezzo, Savage, brano che ha scalato le hit parade nel 2020 diventando un tormentone. 

Ad Harry Styles va il premio Best Pop Solo Performance con Watermelon Sugar, brano con cui l’ex One Direction ha aperto la cerimonia. Per Harry Styles è la  prima partecipazione ai Grammy.

Ad aggiudicarsi il premio per il miglior brano dell’anno è H.E.R. con la sua I Can't Breathe. Questo Grammy viene assegnato all' autore del brano stesso  e in questo caso è stata la stessa cantante, H.E.R. (all' anagrafe Gabriella Wilson).

La statuetta per l' album dell' anno va a Taylor Swift con Folklore. E' lei la prima donna della storia a vincere in  questa categoria   dei Grammy per la terza volta Che raggiunge il primato di Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder e Paul Simon

Everything I Wanted di Billie Eilish è disco dell'anno (Record of the Year). La cantautrice statunitense era stata premiata nella stessa categoria anche nel 2020. Il vincitore di questa categoria, Record of the Year,  annunciato da  Ringo Starr.

Le donne hanno dominato la 63esima edizione dei Grammy .  Da Beyoncé che  con quattro premi  che si aggiungono agli altri raggiunge il record di 28 statuette a  Megan Thee Stallion che vince come  miglior nuova artista

 

Lady Gaga e Ariana Grande  vincon il  premio per il miglior duo pop. Dua Lipa si è portata a casa il riconoscimento per il migliore album di canzoni pop e il brano dell'anno è stato I Can't Breathe di H.E.R.

The Weeknd, al secolo Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, continua a opporsi ai Grammy Awards, dopo averli accusati di corruzione per la nomination che non gli è stata (secondo lui ingiustamente) assegnata.
