I Grammy Awards 2018 si sono appena conclusi incoronando, anche per quest’anno, i re della musica. I grandi favoriti erano Jay Z, con 8 nomination, Kendrick Lamar e Bruno Mars, che ne avevano ricevute rispettivamente 7 e 6.
Alla fine il vero protagonista della serata è stato Bruno Mars, che ha conquistato il premio più ambito, quello per il Miglior Disco e Canzone dell’anno. La sera, che si è tenuta al Madison Square Garden di New York dopo 15 anni, ha avuto come tema principale il MeToo, con rose bianche in segno di vicinanza nei confronti delle vittime e un lungo discorso di Kesha che ha emozionato tutti nella notte degli Oscar della musica.
