Earlier this week, the biggest night in music, The Grammys, took place. Almost every big name in music was in attendance, as well as a plethora of other celebrities. While I’ll refrain from all of the details, I can’t pass up the chance to discuss the happenings of so many celebrities in the same place at the same time.
The Grammys are generally known as a place where celebrities can wear outrageous outfits; pretty much anything they want. Several days before the Grammys, CBS sent out a wardrobe advisory email to all attendees recommending, in my own words, that they cover up. The email from CBS may have prevented some revealing outfits, but Katy Perry, Kelly Rowland and Jennifer Lopez let the words of advice go in one ear and out the other, wearing dresses with cutouts, sheer layers and waist-high slits.
Taylor Swift opened the show with a bizarre, Alice in Wonderland-esque performance that I could have done without. I appreciate her effort to be unique, but the top hat took it a little too far. Justin Timberlake’s performance was my favorite of the night. It is official; Timberlake is the man, and he is back. The big winners of the night were Gotye with “Record of the Year” for “Somebody That I Used to Know” and fun. with “Song of the Year” for “We Are Young.”
Another week, another piece of Taylor Swift drama. It was announced that she will perform on stage with One Direction at the BRIT Awards on Feb. 20, which will be her and ex Harry Styles’ first reunion since their break-up. As awkward as we know Swift is, it is bound to be entertaining and full of wide-eyed faces from her. Then, as expected, Justin Bieber was a fabulous host and performer on Saturday Night Live, cracking jokes about screaming teenage girls and making a comical but serious apology for smoking marijuana. He also sang two songs from his acoustic album, so if you missed out on those performances, do yourself a favor and go find them on the NBC website. You can thank me later.
For anyone who is still interested in Lil Wayne, he has recently become involved in a lawsuit for allegedly assaulting a fan a year ago. The guy really just cannot keep himself out of trouble. Rihanna has been accompanying Chris Brown to his court hearings for him apparently lying about his community service hours, which stem back all the way to his charges for abusing Rihanna in 2009. It’s hard to believe that Rihanna is back together with Brown again after that entire situation, but she has made it clear that she does not care what anyone thinks with her revealing Instagram photos of the two of them and draping herself on him at every public instance possible.
On a completely unrelated note, Honey Boo Boo’s mom “Mama June” announced that she has lost 100 pounds. If that is not a solid note to end on, I don’t know what is.
