The 2021 Grammy Awards took place in Los Angeles again this year — with Trevor Noah from “The Daily Show” as host — but with COVID still in full swing, this year’s ceremony were unlike any before.
Performers for the COVID-safe ceremony included Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Bruno Mars, BTS, Bad Bunny, Cardi B, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Megan Thee Stallion, Harry Styles and more. Trophies were awarded at an outdoor stage with the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles as a backdrop.
Beyoncé came into the show with the most nominations of any artist, earning a total of nine across her releases “Black Parade” and “Brown Skin Girl,” as well as for her guest appearance on the remix of best new artist winner Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage.”
