The 2023 GRAMMYs was truly a night to remember! At the start of the red carpet, it was clear that the renowned award show for the best in music would not disappoint. The nominees and other attendees truly brought their Sunday best, some in extravagant fashion and others glittering from head to toe in sparkles. “Record of the Year,” “Song of the Year” and “Album of the Year” nominee, Lizzo, looked straight out of a high fashion magazine in a stunning, bright red, flower-covered cape. “Best Music Video,” “Best Country Song” and “Song of the Year” nominee Taylor Swift channeled her inner “mirrorball” in a gorgeous, dark blue and sparkle studded two-piece gown. These dazzling looks from Lizzo and Swift, along with many other best-dressed stars, turned the GRAMMYs into the hottest new fashion show in town.
Like the striking outfits, the GRAMMYs brought incredible energy and excitement to everyone watching. The anticipated performance from Harry Styles and his “Record of the Year” and “Song of the Year,” “As It Was,” brought the energy as Styles danced around on stage in a sparkly, silver jumpsuit with lots of fringe. Other performances included Lizzo, Stevie Wonder, nominees Sam Smith and Kim Petras, and seven-time nominee of the night Brandi Carlisle.
Some of the biggest wins include the marvelous Viola Davis finally winning her EGOT and the fabulous Beyoncé making history by becoming the artist with the most GRAMMY wins ever.
The 65th GRAMMY Awards aired on Sunday, February 5 on CBS and Paramount+ at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PST. It streamed live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.
