I Grammy 2020 si sono conclusi con il trionfo di Billie Eilish, vincitrice del premio della canzone e dell’album dell’anno, nella notte dedicata a Kobe Bryant, morto in un incidente in elicottero.
«Eccoci nella notte più importante della musica per celebrare gli artisti che hanno dato il meglio ma per essere onesti stiamo tutti provando una grande amarezza», ha detto la conduttrice della serata Alicia Keys, sottolineando come l’America e il mondo intero abbiamo perso Kobe Bryant, leggenda del basket. «Questa notte è per Kobe» ha affermato la cantante Lizzo dedicandogli Truth hurts e Cuz I love you. Dopo l’omaggio sentito da parte del mondo musicale alla compianta stella dei Lakers, i Grammy 2020 hanno visto il trionfo di Billie Eilish che si è aggiudicata il premio per la canzone dell’anno con Bad Guy, quello di rivelazione dell’anno e quello per l’album dell’anno con When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?. Tra i vincitori delle 62esima edizione degli oscar della musica anche Lady Gaga e Bradley Cooper per A star is Born nella categoria Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.
