The 2021 Grammy’s had a lot of amazing outfits this year, and even better performances. There were various high profile celebrities who went to the  Grammys including: Lizzo, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Megan Thee Station, and more. Several of the artists who attended also performed,  from Harry Styles hit song, “Watermelon Sugar.” Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B’s signature song, “WAP,” these artists blew the crowd away. The clothing was also exquisite this year: Cynthia Erivo in an elegant Louis Vuitton dress and Tiffany & Co. jewelry; Lizzo in a chic Balmain dress paired with BVLGARI Serpenti jewelry; Bad Bunny in Burberry and Maria Tash Jewelry; Harry Styles in his reinterpretation of his signature looks wearing a Gucci black leather suit, and a mint feather boa that rocked everyone away. Even Dua Lipa gave us a stylish Versace dress paired with BVLGARI jewelry, etc. 

The ceremony featured big wins for women this year. Billie Eilish who won record of the year, while Megan Thee Stallion who was the first female rapper to win the best new artist award since Lauryn Hill in 1999. She also won best rap performance and best rap song for “Savage” featuring Beyoncé, H.E.R. Tiara Thomas won song of the year award for “I Can’t Breathe,” and no surprise Taylor Swift won best album of the year for her album, Folklore. Plenty other artists performed such as Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak as Silk Sonic, who sang their newest track, “Leave the Door Open,” and even Maren Morris and John Mayer performed “The Bones” together on stage. Dua Lipa and DaBaby sang “Levitating” before Lipa performed “Don’t Start Now.” This year’s Grammys was definitely different due to Covid, but the artists made it just as entertaining as any other!
