64th Grammy Awards 2022: A Night of Music, Messages, and Milestones

A Historic Night in Las Vegas – 64th Grammy Awards 2022

The 64th Annual Grammy Awards (2022) were held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, marking the first time that the 64th Grammy Awards were held in Sin City. The Grammy Awards honor musical artists, composers, and albums each year. Since 1959, the award has been held once a year. This year’s categories increased from 84 to 86, which was an increase over last year’s 84 categories. The ceremony was supposed to take place on January 31st, but due to the Omicron strain of the coronavirus and the consequent surge in Covid-19 cases, it all had to be postponed.

Zelenskyy’s Powerful Message at the Grammys

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a surprise appearance at the ceremony through a pre-recorded video address. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which caused a humanitarian disaster, people across the globe praised Zelenskyy for his bravery and leadership. During his powerful message to the world at the 64th Grammy Awards 2022, he drew attention to the crisis.

He began by asking, “What’s more opposite than music?” and continued, “The silence of ruined cities and killed people. Our children drew swooping rockets, not shooting stars. The war injured over 400 children and killed 153. We will never see them draw again. War does not let us choose who survives and who stays in eternal silence. Our musicians wear body armour instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded in hospitals.”

Zelenskyy urged the audience to speak about the war. “Tell the truth about war. On your social networks, on TV. Support us in any way you can. Any — but not silence,” he said.

Grammy Awards 2022: Music Industry’s Biggest Honour

The Grammy Awards are the equivalent of the Oscars or Academy Awards in the film industry. The Recording Academy, also known as the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, has been awarding the Grammy Awards since 1957. Organizers presented golden gramophone-shaped Grammy trophies at the 64th Grammy Awards 2022.

Jon Batiste leads the pack at the 64th Grammy Awards 2022 with the most nominations — 11 to be exact. Doja Cat, H.E.R., and Justin Bieber followed Batiste, who led with eleven nominations.
