WINNER: Jelly Roll, Beautifully Broken \u2014 contemporary country albumAdrian Horton Photograph: John Salangsang\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n
Though I am a longtime country fan, I am out of the loop with current country so I can\u2019t comment on how surprising or not this win is for the very affable and popular figure that is Jelly Roll. But he certainly appears surprised, breathlessly thanking Jesus and country radio \u2013 the two things he credits for his inspiring journey from incarceration and drug use to country music star.<\/p>\n
\u201cJesus is for everybody,\u201d he concluded. Jesus, additionally \u201cis not owned by one political party\u201d or record label.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a>WINNER: Bad Bunny, Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos \u2013 best m\u00fasica urbana album Well, well, well, no surprise here \u2013 m\u00fasica urbana album goes to Bad Bunny<\/a>, who uses his time to speak directly, in English, to the current crisis of the Trump administration\u2019s immigration enforcement in cities across the US. \u201cBefore I say thanks to god, I\u2019m going to say ICE out,\u201d he said to a standing ovation. \u201cWe\u2019re not savage, we\u2019re not animals, we\u2019re not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe only thing stronger than hate is love,\u201d he added, appearing slightly overwhelmed a week before the biggest performance of his life at the Super Bowl. \u201cSo please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. If we don\u2019t hate them, we love our people, we love our family, that\u2019s the way to do it. We love. Thank you!\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a021.27 EST<\/p>\n Justin Bieber tested my nerves with that extended intro to his first major performance in four years, strolling around the carpeted stage in maybe boxers (or gym shorts?) and strumming a guitar. But he stuck the landing, delivering a soulful, if understated, rendition of the standout swag track Yukon. This bodes well for the Coachella headliner set \u2026 I think.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a021.18 EST<\/p>\n I do love to see Trevor Noah shouting out Bad Bunny<\/a> for his groundbreaking residency in Puerto Rico, where he partnered with local hotels, kept tickets affordable for locals and still added $400m to the island\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n The host sat down at the superstar\u2019s table \u2013 where he\u2019s seated next to Miley Cyrus?! \u2013 for a slightly awkward bit about his lack of performance tonight (he can\u2019t, because Super Bowl next week) and leaving the US for Puerto Rico \u2026 (a joke on colonialism, get it) that Benito handled as smoothly as he could.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a021.18 EST<\/p>\n That\u2019s very not it:<\/p>\n Share<\/a> An applause-worthy reveal:<\/p>\n Share<\/a>WINNER: Olivia Dean \u2014 best new artist As is tradition, last year\u2019s honored newcomer, Chappell Roan, anoints the new: Olivia Dean, who appears surprised and overwhelmed.<\/p>\n Olivia Dean. Photograph: Daniel Cole\/Reuters<\/p>\n \u201cI never really imagined that I would be up here,\u201d she said, pulling it together quickly. \u201cAn artist is really nothing without her team,\u201d so she thanked her best friend and manager of 10 years, Emily.<\/p>\n And she added, pointedly and politely and to many cheers, that she is the granddaughter of an immigrant: \u201cYeah, I\u2019m a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated. We\u2019re nothing without each other.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a021.09 EST<\/p>\n We\u2019re still doing the best new artist medley \u2013 and by that I mean Alex Warren has gone onto an elevated platform for his mega-hit Ordinary, a song I cannot remember even though I\u2019ve now heard it dozens of times.<\/p>\n Moving on \u2013 Lola Young, the soulful British singer who recently took a self-imposed mental health break from touring, is here! For a stripped-down, emotional rendition of her hit Messy.<\/p>\n Olivia Dean. Photograph: JC Olivera\/WireImage<\/p>\n Then it\u2019s on to the likely winner: fellow Brit Olivia Dean, poised and polished as ever for Man I Need, which remains on permanent rotation for me.<\/p>\n And bringing us home is New York\u2019s sombr, the 20-year-old coming for Harry Styles\u2019s place in pop music, wearing a disco ball-esque suit for his breakout track 12 to 12.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a020.59 EST<\/p>\n The tightly packed table setup situation is \u2026 a choice<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t want a restaurant host wandering around to tables and bothering guests why would you want a Grammys host to<\/p>\n \u2014 Richard Lawson (@rilaws) February 2, 2026<\/a><\/p>\nAdrian HortonBad Bunny.
