American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 178 Lightning Strikes the Sky Above Staples (45 Extra for the Sheep Catcher)
The lights in the venue dimmed immediately, and a series of VJ visual images began to flash on the big screen behind Kate Beckinsale, finally turning into a lightning symbol.

It was the visual symbol determined by Ryan. Previously, in the déjà vu MV of "wake me up", Ryan saw that AVICII's visual symbol was two triangles spliced together. Every DJ with a little fame has this visual symbol, which can be regarded as a "signature".

The spotlight shone on Ryan and gradually spread out, revealing the figures of several dancers behind him.

Although time was tight and there was no way to make adequate preparations, Ryan already had a group of team members, and Dead Mouse could also help Ryan directly contact VJ visual effects animators in the industry, who worked overtime to complete the work.

As for the content of the performance, there was no need for additional rehearsal. Ryan repeated his previous performance of "Where are U now" at the AMAs.

As a rule of thumb, the director might have cut a few shots of Taylor sitting in the audience, but he didn't do that at this time.

After finishing the performance, Ryan had no intention of leaving the stage. At this time, the stage in front of the big screen slowly rose up, and it was the one where the U2 lead singer stood before. And the one standing on the stage at this moment was Taylor. She held her waist, holding the microphone, wearing the clothes she had just worn on the stage, black base, black trousers and black boots, and a linen-colored fine mesh "bat shirt" on the outside. The style of this kind of clothes will deliberately enlarge the sleeves, like the two wings of a bat. This kind of clothes can visually make up for the thinness of thin women, and it is very suitable for Taylor to wear.

Taylor was seen holding the microphone in one hand, walking onto the stage and meeting Ryan. Taylor began to stand in front of the stage, while Ryan stood on the hydraulic stage where Taylor had just appeared.

There is a DJ booth on the stage right now!
Then, the music on the scene also changed, seamlessly transitioning from "Where are U Now" to "I Need Your Love". On the screen behind, some photos of couples began to play, including those of celebrities, such as Ryan and Taylor, and ordinary people, regardless of age or skin color.

This is the first time Ryan and Taylor have performed together on stage.

Accompanied by the piano chord blessed by the super saw sound and the transparent staccato sound of pearls falling on a jade plate, Taylor raised his hands and sang: "I need your love, I need your time..."

The laser lights at the scene began to flash wildly.

When the music reached the pre-chorus part, the electronic piano melody in the track began to become sonorous and powerful. While Taylor was performing live, Ryan was also shouting "Put it up!" to the rhythm.

At the American Music Awards, she especially likes to have the whole audience stand up and sway to the music, representing all the guests participating in the event and highlighting the atmosphere. At many music awards ceremonies, Taylor Swift is often the one who sways the most happily in the audience.

But this time she was on the stage, and the guest stars below looked around, wondering who would stand up first, but the entire front half of the venue stood up.

At this time, the music just entered the chorus part, and with the huge energy brought by the strong rhythm sweeping the scene, many celebrity guests began to dance to the rhythm. They started to get high while swaying, with smiles on their faces.

There are no lyrics in this song. Taylor is jumping up and down on the stage with her blonde hair fluttering, completely covering her face.

"Cut to the off-stage shot! Cut to the audience seats!" the director shouted loudly in the studio.

The camera then switched to the stars in the audience. Justin Timberlake lip-synced along, Sean Combs played to his black strengths and started swaying, the elderly Led Zeppelin lead singer couldn't help but nod to the rhythm, Adele raised her arms and started twisting, even though she had no figure to speak of, and Katy Perry also joined in.

Until the second chorus, the accumulated emotions burst out completely, and all the stars got excited and jumped up and down.

Although the preparations were rushed, Ryan and Taylor's joint performance this time was even better than last year's joint performance by Kanye West and Daft Punk!

The only drawback is that the song is a bit short, and Ryan and Taylor both felt a little unsatisfied when they returned to the stage.

"This time, the two of us are almost turning the Grammys into our home court." Taylor shook his head and laughed.

The two of them immediately changed into formal clothes and rushed back to their seats, but Ryan didn't care about the "Best New Artist of the Year" award at all. At the award ceremony tonight, Adele hadn't even taken the stage yet.

At this time, Kanye and Estelle were presenting awards on stage.

"The 51st Grammy Award for New Artist of the Year is... Adele!" Kanye opened the envelope and said into the microphone.

The camera has now switched to Adele, who immediately stands up.

Just as she was about to walk onto the stage, Kanye nodded awkwardly: "I seem to have made a mistake... The real winner of the New Artist of the Year Award is Rui, Ryan Rivers!"

He showed the contents of the envelope on stage, and it was indeed Ryan's name on the paper! Estella also hurried to confirm.

Kanye originally just wanted to perform the whole thing, but as soon as he finished reading Adele's name, the music started playing and he almost caused a misunderstanding.

Adele was halfway there when she froze in place. She couldn't help but turn around and look at Ryan who was sitting. Ryan didn't even have time to sit down at this time. He was even more confused than Adele. Looking at Taylor who was cheering and hugging him, Ryan dared to believe that all this was true!

Ryan doesn't even remember how he got on stage.

When I received the gramophone trophy handed to me by Kanye, it seemed as if everything was settled.

Newcomer of the Year!

I?
"Dude, this is what you deserve this year, take it," Kanye whispered in Ryan's ear.

Ryan looked at the trophy in his hand and wanted to speak, but his brain was stuck for a moment.

"Thank you!" After leaving only a short word, Ryan went straight to the backstage.

At this moment, a thunderous sound came from the audience.

Next was the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance award, and the handsome John Mayer won the award for "Say," the theme song of Bucket List.

The Best Female Pop Vocalist award was given to Adele. Compared to the general award of New Artist of the Year, this award will undoubtedly have less competition.

The Best Pop Group Award was undoubtedly given to Coldplay.

Best Pop Album went to Duffy's "Rockferry".

In terms of dance music, although Ryan was also nominated for Best Dance Production, he lost to Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" without any suspense in the end.

The best dance album also goes to Daft Punk's "Alive 2007".

In the field of country music, the Best Country Female Singer award was easily won by Carrie Underwood without Taylor's competition.

The competition in the R&B field was very fierce. The winner of the male singer was Ne-Yo, and the best female singer award went to Gun Sister.

However, in the field of rap, this year is a rare year in which one company dominates the market.

Leganville won the Best Rap Solo Performance with "A Milli" and the Best Rap Song with "Lollipop". The Best Rap Duo or Group Award went to Leganville, Jay-Z and Kanye West for their song "Swagga Like Us". In the entire rap category, there was only one longest rap collaboration, which was won by Kanye West.

The penultimate award of the ceremony - Rap Album of the Year - also went to Lee Enwell's "Tha Carter III", who defeated a number of strong opponents including Jay-Z, Nas, and TI.

It can be said that he is one of the biggest winners this year! So far, Jay-Z has won 7 Grammys, Dr. Dre has 4, P. Diddy has , and Leannville has won this year alone, making him the third person in terms of the number of Grammys he has won.

And he is Ryan's partner. The soon-to-open New Orleans branch of Bad Room will surely attract a lot of attention. In a sense, it can be regarded as an "opening gift."

The last award of the Grammy Awards has always been "Album of the Year", which is similar to the Oscars, and is equivalent to Film of the Year. The award also covers a series of participants including producers, recording engineers, mixers, all songwriters, etc. It is a collective award. Of course, the most important thing in an album is the singer himself.

Green Day took the stage to present the award.

The nominees for Album of the Year include Coldplay's "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends", Lee Enwell's "Tha Carter III", Ne-Yo's "Year of the Gentleman" and Radiohead's "In Rainbows". The final nominee is Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' "Raising Sands".

"Robert Plant has already won record of the year, I'm leaning towards Coldplay," Ryan said.

Taylor nodded as well: "The others can't compare to this Coldplay album."

But the result surprised Ryan and Taylor.

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, who just won the record of the year award, stepped onto the podium again! It was a surprise.
