Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson attended the Grammy Awards over the weekend because her memoir, "Lovely One," was nominated for Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording. She lost to the Dalai Lama. Which, honestly... fair. Anyway, that should be the end of it, but it's 2026 and Republicans need to find something to talk about instead of unleashing untrained, armed thugs on Minnesota to kidnap journalists and murder civilians, so Justice Jackson's award nomination is the new ethics scandal.
Late artists like KISS legend Ace Frehley, Blondie drummer Clem Burke, and Bad Company guitarist Mick Ralphs all appeared on the big screen, but Hinds was nowhere to be seen. The cameras cut away to close-ups of the Ozzy tribute performance, so there's a small chance that Hinds was acknowledged, but unlikely as the broadcast cut to a wide shot each time a new artist was shown on the screen.
I have been very vocal about the fact that I'm scared of what I'm seeing in this country. I've been living here for decades. This is not the place that I grew up in. We need to all stand up.
Bad Bunny's "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" won album of the year - the first Spanish-language LP to take the Recording Academy's highest honor. Kendrick Lamar and SZA's "Luther" was named record of the year, making Lamar the winningest rapper in Grammy history (and just the fourth artist to go back-to-back for the record prize). Then there were Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas O'Connell, who took song of the year with "Wildflower"; they're now the only songwriters with three wins in that prestigious category.

She leaned on a long black cane while singing, which she at one point picked up and pointed at the audience like a gun. The singer had already taken home two awards leading up to her performance, including dance pop recording and remixed recording. Only minutes after leaving the stage, Gaga won pop vocal album for "Mayhem." Gaga trailed behind only Kendrick Lamar, who led with nine nominations.
I had to make a transition for survival from folk music, which was killed by the British Invasion. David Crosby was afraid that they were going to slap some kind of band on me and that it would ruin my music. So I made that record with voice and guitar. Then the record company sicced the band on me. It was called The Section, they were a good band for James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt, but they couldn't play my music.

To talk about the present state of jazz, The Times brought together 26-year-old Joy and 75-year-old Bridgewater. What followed is an incredible conversation on politics, race, equality and mutual fandom. You both have had Grammy success.
