American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

"Amerika, de toekomst heeft een big kiss nodig!"

After an opening in Dutch, U2's live performance officially began. This was the first live performance of the night, heralding the official opening of the Grammy Awards.

The song they sang was "Get On Your Boots", a new song released by U2 just a month ago.

Lead singer Paul Hewson, wearing a jacket, stood on the platform and occasionally made "kicks" movements, adding a bit of dynamism to the performance.

Next up was Whitney Houston, who was responsible for presenting the "Best R&B Album" award. The final winner was "Jennifer Hudson", who made her debut on American Idol and in 2022 became the th "EGOT" winner, the so-called Grand Slam of the Oscars, Grammys, Tony Awards, and Emmy Awards (prime time).

The average age of those who have received this honor is around 50. The more famous ones are Audrey Hepburn and John Legend. Although these people are more famous in the United States, they are all big names in the circle.

As for Barbra Streisand and Quincy Jones, although they also won EGOT, one or more of them were non-competitive awards, such as the "Humanitarian Award", which are less valuable.

"She won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 06 and a Grammy this year... Ryan, I think you can also develop in all aspects?" Taylor, who was applauding in the fifth row, couldn't help whispering to Ryan.

Inspired by Ryan's script writing for Go Broke, Taylor felt that Ryan could also move in this direction.

Ryan smiled and said nothing. As for getting involved in other fields, that would depend on whether the sense of sight gave him face.

The two of them were sitting in the fifth row, neither too front nor too back, separated by a corridor. Ryan saw the fat girl Adele sitting there whispering with her agent. When she saw Ryan looking at her, she raised her hand and greeted him.

As an adult lyrical singer, her songs are often gloomy and introverted, but her personality is actually a bit different from her songs. She speaks very fast and makes a lot of small movements when she speaks, coupled with the unique ups and downs of the British tone, giving people the impression that she is a funny person.

Ryan turned to the other side and saw Katy Perry in a pink jumpsuit, short black hair, blue pupils and black eyeshadow. Her husky index was comparable to Daddario's. Like Taylor, she would also be performing on stage later. When she saw Ryan looking at her, she blew him a kiss.

The person who appeared on the stage at this time was Dwayne Johnson, who played defensive tackle for two years at the University of Miami before joining WWE and won the national championship with the team.

All the guys on the defensive line are big and powerful. Ryan's role as a tight end is more of a test of his flexibility. Compared with Dwayne Johnson in size, Ryan is about 70% of him. Of course, compared with ordinary people, Ryan can also be called a big guy.

Dawn introduced Boss J’s live performance, followed by actor Simon Baker, who introduced Coldplay’s live performance.

Next up was Duffy and presenting the first major award of the night - Song of the Year.

The award presenter Duffy was also nominated for the Newcomer of the Year Award. After her rapid success, she quickly disappeared and was suspected of being missing. In 2020, she said that she had been kidnapped, imprisoned, drugged, and raped for a period of time, but she never knew who the other party was... It is not ruled out that she directed and acted herself. In the European and American entertainment circles, out-of-date female stars often reveal some "heavy materials" in their autobiographies and documentaries. These heavy materials are often vague and the facts are vague.

Coldplay's Viva la Vida won the Song of the Year award, beating out Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours", Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" and Adele.

It is worth mentioning that among the four general Grammy awards - Album of the Year, New Artist of the Year, Song of the Year and Record of the Year, the latter two are awarded to a certain song.

The difference is that the Song of the Year is awarded to the songwriter, so it is more appropriate to call it "Song of the Year", while the Record of the Year is awarded to the singer, which is the real "Song of the Year".

Next it was Mai Li's turn to go on stage alone. Her show was disrupted by the Rivers duo. Accordingly, she also got a chance to present an award alone. She presented the "Best Pop Music Vocal Collaboration Award."

The competition for this award is very fierce, including "As I Am" by Gwen and John Mayer, "4 Minutes" by Madonna, Jay-Z and Timbaland, "If I Never See Your Face Again" by Mark Waitrose and Rihanna, "No Air" by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown, and "Unstoppable" by Ryan and Leona.

“The final winner is…Unstoppable.” Mai Li’s expression on the stage was almost stunned.

Ryan immediately stood up and hugged Taylor. Today he rarely wore formal clothes. When he and Leona went up the stairs, Ryan held Leona's waist and put his hands on hers. Taylor saw it clearly, and because he was too happy, he was jealous.

"This is my first Grammy Award, which means a lot to me. Thank you Leona, thank you to the staff who worked hard on the single, and thank you Taylor Rivers! I love you." Ryan pointed to the audience. This acceptance speech was almost exactly the same as Taylor's at the AMAs.

Backstage, Ryan handed the trophy to the staff, walked around, and returned to his seat. "At least I won't go home empty-handed this year." Taylor nodded excitedly.

While Ryan was surprised, he also knew that the "Newcomer of the Year Award" was most likely not going to win him.

Blink 182 followed up with Rock Album of the Year, and Coldplay took the stage again, indicating that they will be the big winners tonight.

At this time, Taylor had already stood up and was preparing for his solo performance later.

Chris Brown and Rihanna both had solo performances, but now both are unable to attend due to domestic violence scandals, so two shows are missing and the live performances have to be re-arranged.

Taylor was followed on stage by Kenny Chesney, also a big name in country music.

The song he sang was naturally "Superman" as agreed with Ryan. In order to cooperate with the live performance, this song was also released a few days ago.

Although Ryan is not mentioned in the lyrics, every word is about Ryan.

The director also gave Ryan, who was sitting in the audience, a very appropriate shot. The only drawback was that due to the rush of preparation time, Taylor was unable to rehearse again. He wore the previously determined costume and just sat on a high stool to sing. Normally, this song should be more "fancy".

But this simple style, on the contrary, highlights the sincerity of the song. Many people at the scene were moved, and some married female singers thought of their husbands.

Not far from Ryan, rock singer John Mayer was sitting there, also looking at Taylor on the stage with a bit of curiosity. This guy graduated from the famous Berklee College of Music and was also very handsome. Although his entire career was tepid, he had done a lot of harm to beautiful women...

After Taylor left the stage, he returned to Ryan not long after, kissed Ryan, and then leaned on Ryan's shoulder.

At this time, Sean Combs, Herbert Hancock and Narita Cole took the stage to present the Record (Single) of the Year award together.

In addition to Adele, Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" was nominated again, as well as Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love", and even "Paper Planes" by Dee Pineapple, a regular performer at the Bad Room, and MIA.

In terms of value, Record of the Year is second only to Album of the Year among the four general awards.

If Di Pineapple wins this award, it will undoubtedly make him famous, and Bad Room will also benefit from it.

But the final winner was a surprise to almost everyone - "Please Read the Letter", a folk song performed by Robert Plant, lead singer of the veteran band Led Zeppelin, and Alison Krauss. It was a big upset.

Next, it was the famous British actress Kate Beckinsale who appeared on the scene. Although she looked very good as a traditional beauty in "Pearl Harbor", her personality is actually not traditional. She had been with Michael Sheen for many years and had a daughter with him, but she rejected his proposal, saying "this is no different from getting married."

When filming "Underworld", she persuaded the director to let her partner Michael Sheen play a role in the film. As a result, she and the director flirted with each other on the set, and they got married after the filming was completed.

A few years after getting married, Kate started dating younger women and even admitted to the media, "I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

Kate Beckinsale stood on the stage at this time, her appearance was stunning. Although her private life was messy, her delicate facial features could make people temporarily forget the bad things that happened to her.

Compared with other "English Roses" officially designated by the fakenews media BBC, such as Emily Blunt, Rosamund Pike, and Keira Knightley, they are not inferior at all and can be called the four great beauties of Britain today.

Standing on the stage, Kate Beckinsale in a black dress slowly spoke:
"In 2008, a new style of music emerged and quickly captured the ears of young people around the world. Music and technology merged at this moment - electronic music. Let us invite Ryan Rivers, the representative of the new generation of electronic music, to the stage."
